Andrew Harvey: The World Crisis and How to Respond to It

Andrew Harvey will present his vision of our great world crisis as an evolutionary crucible for the birth of the divine human. The force he believes that will engender this birth is Sacred Activism—a marriage of the deepest mystical wisdom, passion and peace with clear wise radical action in the world. Drawing on his best selling book The Hope: a Guide to Sacred Activism he will present the 7 mystical laws that govern the effectiveness of sacred action. He will end with a vision of how a global grassroots revolution of love in action can be organized now.
