Hello! My name is Andrea Hurley, and I have been a student of Spiritual Teacher, Andrew Cohen since 1988, and currently help to manage the EnlightenNext Center in Cambridge.

Recently I had the privilege of taking Jeff Carreira's
teacher training course on Evolutionary Enlightenment. I will be co-teaching my first class with Katherine Miller in March, 2007. So my blog will be filled with all sorts of adventures about that!

I first met Andrew Cohen in 1988, when he taught in the US for the first time. I was so impacted by his teaching that I shifted the gears of my life, and moved to California with my 1 year old daughter and husband to spend the next eight years with Andrew and his international body of students – it was the beginning of our continued journey together to understand the human condition and learn to live beyond ego, which is an ever engaging and outrageously positive endeavor, and an ultimate human responsibility. Returning to the east coast in 1995, and joining forces with about 2 dozon others, we created the Boston Center for EnlightenNext. We had a vision which lives on today – to bring a wave of enlightened revolutionary spirit to this great city! With that vision, and a tremendous degree of good will, we transformed a windowless warehouse of cement walls to the beautiful center that we have today, where we host seminars and courses (including the Evolutionary Enlightenment Course which I am co-teaching!)

Professionally, I am founder and creative director of a web design company, Elytra Design, named (everyone always asks) after the outer wings of a beetle, the Elytra. Hmm, how odd, how did that happen? Good question. It's from “the little intricacies of nature” which hold the story of the universe. I once was a passionate biologist, and hold a Master of Science degree in biology (Entomology) from U Mass. Art, Spirit and Science were always intimately connected in my view of the world. Having spent many years studying the intricacies of nature and the always outrageous designs born out of the process of evolution, I realized that the expression of art through humans is the same force and source that drives nature to create. This is the foundation of my work, but it is also a driving force of my passion for evolutionary enlightenment.

I am also a mother who is deeply aware of the profound impact that Andrew and his teachings of Evolutionary Enlightenment have had on my daughter's life over these nineteen years. Because of this, I am passionate and determined to bring the teachings of evolutionary enlightenment to other parents.
