The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism - Softcover

Sacred Activism is compassion in action - the blending of physical work with spiritual intent to create a holy force and fusion of humankind's greatest achievements and principles.

With over thirty years' experience living a lifestyle that promotes change through compassion, including under the guidance of the renowned Tibetan adept Thuksey Rinpoche, Andrew Harvey explains how to combine the foundations of wisdom with the power of love in action to create a better world of meaning, empathy, strength and joy.

The Hope will give the most practical possible help to all those who realise the urgent truth of our world - that these troubled times offer a gateway for dramatic and positive change - and who want to act as effectively as possible from wisdom and compassion.

Sacred Activism is Compassion in Action -
the marriage of practical action with spiritual wisdom
to create a holy force capable of transforming our
world crisis and preserving our planet.
'When a generation is very, very lucky, it encounters
a teacher so illumined that the words he delivers must
be illumined as well. In the case of Andrew Harvey, the
light he sheds is like a meteor burst across the inner sky.'
Marianne Williamson
'Andrew is a genius and an inspired visionary.'
Caroline Myss
Written clearly and concisely, Harvey details the seven laws necessary for
sacred activism, from the importance of incorporating a spiritual
practice in your life to the transformation of anger into passion, and
the significance of community.
Just as Julia Cameron in The Artist's Way gave millions of people a
precise and interactive handbook to help them discover and explore their
creativity, The Hope gives the most practical possible help to all those who
realize the urgent truth of our world - that these troubled times offer a
gateway for dramatic and positive change - and who want to act as
effectively as possible from wisdom and compassion.
