Jesse Thornburg, PhD

Dr. Thornburg earned his PhD in Biochemistry at Wake Forest University and after some years of basic science research, expanded his efforts into the field of research administration. For the next two decades he established a track record of bringing together, establishing and supporting diverse teams of researchers capable of leveraging a diversity of skills and perspectives to solve some of sciences unyielding challenges. This “strength in diversity” approach and instituting effective shared leadership models became a hallmark of his successful guidance of key initiatives. His expertise eventually grew beyond interpersonal work to include fostering coopetition between and among competing for-profit systems and non-profit institutions. 

A student of the Ageless Wisdom for the past 35 years, Jesse has applied the principles of Esoteric Psychology, Esoteric Astrology and Esoteric Healing, as presented in books by Alice A. Bailey, to every facet of his daily life. Though kept behind the scenes, these principles provided the foundation for his work and innovation in the fields of science research and leadership development. Over the years, he has worked with hundreds of individual charts, synthesized group/team astrological relationships and initiated research on the practical application of Esoteric Psychology in collaboration with others within and without the realm of esotericism.
