Event Description: These chaotic and dangerous times are challenging all of us to put love and wisdom into clear, wise action urgently. Andrew Harvey will present his vision of Sacred Activism, the holy and transforming force that is born when the profound peace, passion, and stamina of deep spirituality is combined with radical action. He will present drawing on his books The Hope - A Guide to Sacred Activism and Savage Grace the five Sacred Passions and the nine Laws of Sacred Activism along with the Fundamental Practices that can ground you in divine peace, joy, strength and give you the energy to persist and thrive even in difficult circumstances. Guidance will also be given into inner and outer shadow work that is essential for the success of Sacred Action. You will leave this retreat with renewed hope, purpose and meaning and have simple essential tools with which to confront with grace the challenges our contemporary crisis inevitable poses.
