Andrew Harvey + Caroline Myss, Adam Bucko, Diane Berke, Carolyn Baker, Heather Murphy, and Ellen Gunter
Unite your mystic's passion for God with your activist's passion for justice to ignite the "third fire" in your life, and participate in the profound transfiguration that humanity is destined for.
True love of the Divine's presence in others, when expressed in wise, compassionate action, leads not only to lasting inner joy but also to profound transformation of outer reality. When the inner joy of compassionate service is married to a practical and pragmatic drive to transform all existing economic, social and political institutions, a radical and potentially all-transforming holy force is born. This is the radical force of Sacred Activism.
A Sacred Activist is someone who is starting to experience the inner joy and outer effectiveness of this force, who knows that the profound crisis the world is in is challenging everyone to act from our deepest compassion and wisdom, and who is committed to being, in the face of growing chaos, suffering, and violence, what Robert Kennedy called "a tiny ripple of hope" and "a center of energy and daring."
Andrew Harvey is famous around the world for his inspirational talks and deep commitment to a life of engagement. In this exclusive online course, Andrew will show us how to share his passionate experience of the Divine as we devote ourselves to helping others.
For this landmark Evolver Intensives course, Andrew's first ever online seminar, he will introduce you to Sacred Activism through the lives of five exemplary practitioners and brilliant teachers who are working in the world with divine force and passion: Adam Bucko, Diane Berke, Heather Murphy, Carolyn Baker, Ellen Gunter, and special guest, bestselling author and legendary teacher Caroline Myss. In a series of one-on-one interviews with Andrew, they will share what they learned from their extraordinary personal journeys, and encourage you to· take your own Sacred Activism to a new level of inspiration.
You will be part of this unique event, watching the live video stream and asking your questions directly to these pioneers.
When you become a Sacred Activist you participate not only in the "preservation" of humanity, but in the humbling and amazing transfiguration it is destined for.
What we are being asked to do is not to "fix" the existing system but to radically transform it so we no longer, by our choices, threaten our lives and the lives of millions of species. And we can only do this by radically transforming ourselves.
This course takes place from Thursday, March 24, followed by four consecutive Tuesdays, April 5 thorugh April 26. All calls are at 9:00 p.m. EST, and you can participate from your laptop anywhere in the world with a broadband connection. It doesn't require you to download or install any special software. If you can watch a YouTube video, you can take part in this course.
These seminars are devoted to one-on-one conversations between Andrew and our featured guests, followed by a Q & A session in which you can take part. This will be a live, dynamic experience in which you become part of a community of students sharing real time with inspiring visionaries with much to teach and great stories to share.
In the last seminar, on Tuesday, April 26 at 9:00 p.m. EST, Andrew will also provide a comprehensive conclusion that will include student feedback.
