S A C R E D - A C T I V I S M

We live in a world in turmoil; war, colonization, racism, houselessness, environmental crisis, fascism on the rise.... and the traditional official powers-that-be are not helping.

Many spiritual people are turning toward various forms of activism.

We don't want to get sucked into hatred, or fall into despair, but we also don't want to get stuck in the "love and light" trap of spiritual bypass. We want to speak out, we want to take action, but how do we do it in a wise, integrated loving way?

SACRED ACTIVISM:

Let's Take a Soul-centered Stand!

Tuesday Jan 2

9-11am PST on ZOOM

(Live session recorded for playback on demand)

Our two hour workshop is designed to support people who are doing activism and support others who want to raise their voices in a soul-centered way. Come together in community with other activists from all over the world to discuss:

• How do we take a stand with social/political issues and stay rooted in spiritual wisdom and love?
  
• How to we take care of ourselves while we're also trying to make a change in the world?
  
• How do we use spiritual practices like prayer, meditation, and energy work to affect change in the outer world?
• How do we stay deeply connected to our spirituality and practice without becoming aloof and going into spiritual bypass?
  
• How do we summon the courage to speak out amidst the fear of persecution/rejection/cancellation?
  
• How do we care for our nervous systems in an age of massive consumption of digital media and doom scrolling?
  

We'll dive in for two hours and get into all of this!

Harshada will discuss source teachings from the yoga, tantra, and Sufi traditions that support us, and talk about best practices for activists and would-be activists. He will also lead guided meditation, and contemplation exercises, interactive discussion, as well as Q and A.

*Note: this workshop is not a container for the discussion or debate of social/political issues. It is intended as a "safer space" for people who are engaged in activism and those who wish to do so in a soul-centered way.

We understand this is a last minute offering and want as many people as possible to participate, so we are offering the registration on a sliding scale.

• $27 Financial hardship
• $54 Regular Tuition
• $108 Help us pay for discounts and scholarships
• $150 Workshop plus a 50 minute Private Zoom Session with Harshada for people who need more support. *Note: Harshada will be in India from Jan 10 until Feb 10 and unable to do private sessions.

Harshada is not trying to profit off of the current crisis in the Middle East (or any other crisis), but there's only so much support he can offer via social media/newsletters, etc. In response to many requests, Harshada is doing this more substantial offering.
