春涛的工作在身心意识进化的前春涛的工作在身心意识进化的前沿,同时她又和华夏文明的古老源头深深连接。她70年代生人,北京大学生物系本科毕业,在美国爱荷华大学获分子生物学博士。春涛的第一段职业在西雅图罗塞塔生物科技制药公司任科研人员以及大数据分析师。但是,身处西方高科技的环境,春涛感受到她的心灵如同在荒漠中独行般的饥渴。

受使命的召唤,春涛放弃了“科技精英”的优越,塑造了自己的第二职业身份:针灸师以及道家修行者。在这份职业里,她深深为现代西方文明对东方文化,尤其是东方古老文化的误解、不看见和扭曲而感到心痛。这种痛苦使她找到内心一个深切的渴望:走出一条新的东西文明整合的道路。

在春涛的第三职业阶段,她遇到了生命伴侣乔,与美国人乔一起创建了共振之路研究院。乔年轻时曾被诊断为bipolar。他通过对自身意识艰苦卓绝的实验,开创了心灵拓扑学,意识研究的一个新的前沿。通过领导共振实验室,春涛建立了以培养身心整合为目标的共振密码体系,将科学的思维与古老的易经智慧结合。 春涛现在从事教学以及一对一个案,服务人群遍及中国、美国、欧洲以及澳大利亚和新西兰。

2023年,普众大学 Ubiquity University 邀请春涛建立“生命共振身心领导力学”硕博士学位。当今人类社会面临环境、气候以及社会动荡的重大挑战,这项学位旨在接生一个以培养合作精神、身心整全、开发疗愈和创造力为首要目标的再生态文明。

春涛通过舞动、歌唱、诗歌和戏剧与灵魂对话。她所吟唱的古诗词歌曲被2023年以中国隐士文化为主题的纪录片“与死人舞”所收纳。她正要出版的中文自传体小说“大地之歌”,以个人生命故事为主线,将历史、哲学思考和神话故事编织成了一个整体。她相信最原始、质朴和即兴的艺术创作是与灵魂对话最鲜活的管道。
