“A spirituality that is only private and self-absorbed, one devoid of an authentic political and social consciousness, does little to halt the suicidal juggernaut of history. One the other hand, an activism that is not purified by profound spiritual and psychological self-awareness and rooted in divine truth, wisdom, and compassion will only perpetuate the problem it is trying to solve, however righteous its intentions. When, however, the deepest and most grounded spiritual vision is married to a practical and pragmatic drive to transform all existing political, economic and social institutions, a holy force – the power of wisdom and love in action – is born. This force I define as Sacred Activism.” — Andrew Harvey

The Realm of the Soul
The aim, in this first session, is to provide all participants with a coherent mystical vision of the universe, a coherent vision of the path to radical embodiment and an extremely practical vision for the kinds of sacred practice that enable anyone to create a container for divine transformation.

The Realm of the Heart
When the heart center is awakened, it makes accessible to human beings the highest kind of intelligence that Rumi defined as “a perpetual stream of wisdom refined by love.” Awakening and focusing the intelligence of the heart is the key to the transformation of the planet and the core of what is uniquely powerful about Sacred Activism.

The Pathways of the Intellect
This session will be focused on the training of the intellect to understand the different interrelated aspects of the world crisis and its potential solutions to the environment, population growth and shortage of resources, the relationship among globalization, poverty and corporate responsibility.

The Wisdom of the Body
The care of the instrument - the body - is essential to being a Sacred Activist, since leadership in a new era demands tremendous physical and spiritual energy, strength, and stamina.
