Sacred Activism

Catalog description

Amidst environmental degradation, a global pandemic, rampant capitalism, systemic racism, and a myriad of societal issues, it is often difficult to maintain a sense of hope, vitality, and connection. One of the great dangers of our time is the tendency for individuals to become so overwhelmed that it becomes hard to cope with life, let alone do the important work that our changing world calls us to do. This class is designed to offer perspectives on the possibility of healing and transformation that opens us to our potential for sacred action. By reading progressive works by theorists, activists, environmentalist, and modern-day mystics, we will be exposed to ideas that will give us the tools to move forward with the hearts and minds of warriors for change.
