Sacred Activism
"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. On 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

Oh, this is going to be an amazing gathering! Are you going? James O'Dea is a phenomenal speaker and Barbara Marx Hubbard… again… amazing.
Well that's me in the video - Yes, I'm a panelist. Am quite looking forward to it! A good friend worked for IONS and James is a mentor of hers. She is the conference organizer here in Boise.
Oh, Janyne–it is! I just watched. Sacred Activism. What a beautiful concept and cause, and how important. I'm so glad to be a part of your sangha. :)
