ARTIST - AUTHOR - TEACHER - SPEAKER
Exploring Enlightenment, Spiritual Awakening, and Coherent AI -Human Intelligence
Keynote Speaker and Group Facilitator
Dave is known for sacred, but not too serious, speaking events. Drawing on more than four decades of spiritual study, teaching, and practice—including A Course in Miracles and The Way of Mastery—he speaks directly, warmly, and in language diverse audiences can understand.
Today, that work also extends into some of the most timely and consequential questions we face: artificial intelligence, truth, consciousness, human identity, and what it means to remain fully human in a world changing faster than our cultural assumptions can keep up.
As comfortable in a corporate seminar as in a spiritual retreat, Dave moves easily between these worlds and offers each something the other often lacks: greater depth and humanity in technological conversations, and greater clarity and practical relevance in spiritual ones.
CURRENT TALKS
The Most Important Thing About AI You Probably Don’t Know — but Really Need To
AI is already changing our relationship with truth, often in ways most people do not recognize. This talk explores an immediate and largely hidden danger in everyday AI use, why it matters, and a practical way to respond now.
Complete Spiritual Awakening in About an Hour*
(*results may Vary)
A provocative, accessible look at what the great spiritual traditions actually mean by awakening, why it may be less distant than we imagine, and what becomes possible when spiritual insight moves from theory into lived experience.
The Channeling Experience
Drawing on decades of spiritual practice and his own experience with channeling, Dave explores what channeling is, what it may or may not be, how discernment matters, and why the phenomenon continues to fascinate people across spiritual traditions.
Each talk can be adapted for spiritual communities, retreats, universities, conferences, corporate groups, and general audiences.

PRIVATE SESSIONS WITH DAVE
Private Sessions are one-on-one conversations held on Zoom. Two formats are available:
a 45-minute Inquiry Session and a 90-minute Insight Session.
Dave has also served as a channel for Jeshua since 2008.
Private Sessions with Jeshua, approximately 90 minutes in length, are available for those who feel drawn to that form of guidance.
What happens in a session?
We enter a focused, prayerful space of listening, inquiry and guidance. The intention is not to impose answers, but to help bring greater clarity to what is already seeking to be seen.
People often experience:
- relief from long-carried emotional burdens
- greater clarity around life direction and difficult choices
- a loosening of repetitive inner patterns
- a renewed sense of purpose, connection and inner freedom
The work is gentle, direct and deeply respectful of your own inner knowing.

Testimonial from a client's recent Private Session:
"During my session I was offered insight and clarity into how I was seeing my life. I was given a broader perspective on situations that had felt deeply problematic, along with simple guidance to continue working with if it continued to resonate.
In that single hour, I experienced a profound release: the sadness and guilt I had carried for years after two abortions; the despair of having two loved ones struggling with life-threatening depression; and the burden of believing I needed to follow a prescribed formula for enlightenment.
All of that lifted in just one session. Thank you for being available to those of us seeking clarity and guidance on our homeward-bound journey.”
ENLIGHTENMENT TEACHINGS
ONLINE COURSES AND IN-PERSON GATHERINGS
Explore Enlightenment Teachings through online courses, workshops, retreats and live gatherings.
David’s teaching spans both sacred and secular language, meeting people wherever they begin. Some programs are designed for those who are skeptical of spiritual language but deeply interested in consciousness, freedom and the nature of human experience.
Others explore the more esoteric teachings of A Course in Miracles, The Way of Mastery, the teachings of Jeshua, contemplative practice and the direct experience of awakening.
Across these different traditions and approaches, the underlying inquiry is the same: What is actually true about who we are, and what becomes possible when we begin to live from that understanding?
David Waterman Schock is a teacher, artist, and guide devoted to exploring truth, meaning, and transformation in everyday life.
For over 30 years, he has been deeply engaged in the lived practice of the Christ teachings, especially through A Course in Miracles and The Way of Mastery. His work is rooted not in theory, but in direct experience — both his own and in guiding others through real processes of healing, insight, and change.
Dave is the author of the authorized An Introduction to The Way of Mastery, Jeshua Speaks Volume One, and The AI Consciousness Revolution. He has served, after a decade of apprentice training, as a channel for Jeshua and other Christ Lineage beings since 2008.
He has spent much of his life helping people see more clearly, move through fear, and reconnect with a deeper sense of truth within themselves. Whether through private sessions, teaching, or creative work, his approach is simple, direct, and grounded in compassion.
In recent years, his work has expanded to include questions of perception and intelligence in the context of emerging AI, exploring how timeless spiritual insight can meet the challenges — and opportunities — of the modern world.
At the heart of all his work is a quiet but consistent invitation: that transformation begins not by changing the world outside us, but by gently learning to see with greater honesty, clarity, and love.
