Humanity has come to a dangerous moment in its evolutionary history, and the stakes could not be greater. Fortunately, there is a map forward through the darkness, and this is what Andrew will present in three stages.

First, drawing on his own mystical experience and the great evolutionary mystics of humanity, he’ll share how the immense global challenges we face are an ordained global Dark Night in which humanity’s fantasies of power over nature and its addiction to destruction are being systematically destroyed.

This destruction, however, is an initiation that reveals the Dark Night as the birth canal for a new divine humanity that can co-create with the Divine a wholly new world.

Second, he will show that the birth is already happening in fragments — inspired by a vision that combines knowledge of the divinization process with commitment to Sacred Activism.

Third, he will share how the Dark Night is designed to create as fully and richly as possible an embodied, enlightened consciousness.

If this map is carefully followed, the results can be miraculous.

In this session, you’ll:

• Discover a 3-stage map through the Dark Night as revealed through Andrew’s own experience — and the wisdom of the great evolutionary mystics of humanity
• Go deeper into the true evolutionary purpose of the Dark Night — and the profound transformations that can occur if we keep moving through this birthing process
• Explore “the practice of the name of God” that draws on Kabir and other great mystics

You'll also receive two Bonus Transmissions from:

Banafsheh Sayyad, creator of Dance of Oneness and master teacher of radiant embodiment, who will create a simple dance sequence for all Sacred Activists to help them transmute in their bodies the dark emotions of the Dark Night into peace, joy, strength, and radiant stamina.

Elayne Kalila Doughty, an inspired guardian of the tradition of anointment begun by Mary Magdalene, who shares for the first time astonishing poems inspired by the Magdalene that guide us through the Dark Night in her spirit of naked love and celebratory passionate joy. This is a crucial conversation about how turning to the feminine in times of death and rebirth has astounding transformative gifts, rewards, empowerments, and invitations to wilder greater service.

These bonus transmissions will be added to your course homepage when the recording of this module is posted.

Andrew will begin by sharing his momentous experience of encountering the Christ 20 years ago, which ignited his quest of Sacred Activism.

Drawing on that experience, he’ll share how it was revealed to him that Sacred Activism is the force that births a new world.

He’ll also speak to the five great sacred passions — passion for the Divine, passion for the Self in the human, passion of compassion for all sentient beings, passion to claim one’s own unique mission, and passion to make one’s whole being and actions congruent to the birth ahead.

These passions need to be united in our being to birth the force of Sacred Activism at its most burning and effective intensity and truth.

Special emphasis in this session will be given on how to find your own unique calling, mission, and task in this great evolutionary upheaval.

In this session, you’ll explore:

• The 5 great sacred passions that need to be united within us to birth Sacred Activism — and clarify what we are individually being called to do at this time of great change
• Andrew’s encounter with the Christ and how it pertains to Sacred Activism
• A simple Sufi heart practice that fills your being with the fire of divine love and its holy, wild courage to put love into action

You'll also receive a Bonus Transmission from V (formerly Eve Ensler), one of Andrew’s greatest friends and inspirations. She is a globally known playwright (The Vagina Monologues), essayist  and memoirist (In the Body of the World) and has been the inspiration and architect of stunning global initiatives such as a One Billion Rising. V will share her fierce and incandescent vision of what is happening at this moment and help us all rise to its challenge with passion and determination and the kind of wild creativity of heart she exemplifies for so many. This bonus transmission will be added to your course homepage when the recording of this module is posted.

This transmission will focus on the five kinds of sacred practice that will help Sacred Activists work with compassion, energy, courage, and unflagging commitment — no matter what happens and what difficulties and struggles they must endure.

Taken together, these practices work on the whole human being to bring it into unity with Source.

In this session, you’ll explore:

• Cool practices that build a foundation of peace
• Heart practices that build energy, passion, and courage
• Prayer practices that enable you to directly connect in any situation with the Divine
• Shadow work that helps you clear sabotaging shadows of self-absorption and despair
• Body practices that keep you physically and spiritually strong enough to undertake the great work of birthing a new world
• A guided 3-part practice for calming the mind, celebrating and irradiating the heart with divine power, and enabling peace and joy to circulate in and strengthen the body

You'll also receive a Bonus Transmission from Mirabai Starr, one of our greatest contemporary mystics. Mirabai will share the essential wisdom of her new book, Ordinary Mysticism, and help Sacred Activists live ordinary, extraordinary, sacred lives by giving them the illumination and courage to go forward without fear.

The extremity and intensity of our crisis demands what Andrew calls evolutionary transpersonal shadow work. We cannot deal with our shadows from the same consciousness that is contaminated by them.

The only way that Sacred Activists will be strong enough to transmute the shadows of despair, paralysis, and exhausting anger will be from the spaciousness of divine consciousness.

Andrew will concentrate on the five powerful shadows cast by the Dark Night crisis itself because everyone, whether they know it or not, is assailed by these in a unique and dangerous way.

These five shadows are disbelief, dread, despair, disillusion, and death wish. He’ll show you how using the Tibetan practice of Tonglen can help you access your divine inner self to heal whichever of these dangerous shadows are rising, so you can return to your mission refreshed with sacred energy.

In this session, you’ll:

• Explore the 5 shadows of the Dark Night — disbelief, dread, despair, disillusion, and death wish — and how to heal them
• Give your Sacred Activism a strong foundation for divine consciousness to emerge
• Be guided in the Tibetan practice of Tonglen to better manage your shadows and access the wisdom of divine consciousness

You'll also receive a Bonus Transmission from Matthew Fox, our greatest living Christian mystical theologian. Matthew will explore with Andrew the nature of evil and its role in birthing the new humanity. Concentrating on his latest book, Trump & the MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ, which Andrew wrote an afterward for, he will challenge us to face the stark realities of our time in order to galvanize us to claim our active Christhood.

From his long immersion in the world’s mystical traditions and his experience from starting the global Sacred Activism movement, Andrew has identified three essential laws that govern authentic Sacred Activism and make it as powerful and effective as possible. In this transmission, he will dive profoundly into each of them.

The first law is the law of giving up the fruits of action. Andrew will show you how dedicating yourself to Sacred Activism while surrendering your attachment to outcomes releases you from an addiction to immediate results which can distract and dishearten you.

The second law is the law of protection. Many forces are threatened by the birth of a new humanity. Some of them are impersonal, dark, and frighteningly subtle. The old mystical systems understood this and stressed the need to align with divine protection in dangerous enterprises. Drawing on the experience of his own Dark Night, Andrew will share three simple practices designed to protect you.

The third law is the law of networks of grace. The revolution of the birth cannot be done alone. We need to create and be part of networks of grace that sustain and encourage us. Andrew will explain in detail how this can be done and how it will form cells of the future body of a new humanity.

In this session, you’ll:

• Discover the 3 laws that make Sacred Activism as potent as possible — giving up the fruits of action, the law of protection, and networks of grace
• Be guided in a 3-part practice derived from the Kashmir Shaivism tradition to directly identity with the Divine within you, identify your divine virtues and commit to them, and dedicate your divine and human self to the regeneration of the world

You'll also receive a Bonus Transmission from Adam Bucko, author of The New Monasticism: A Manifesto for Contemplative Living, and founder of The Reciprocity Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to helping homeless and at-risk youth, particularly LGBTQ+ youth, achieve their full potential. Adam, who is an Anglican priest, will share his extraordinary journey and help Sacred Activists unite profound contemplation with wise radical action.

The birthing force of a new humanity and world has two streams: the first, as the great evolutionary mystics know, is one of the divinization and transfiguration of the human into the divine human.

This secret force has been known in all the great mystical traditions. Andrew has spent 20 years researching and experiencing it.

In our current crisis, we need to pursue the divinization process in tandem with the second stream of the birthing force that is Sacred Activism. Why? The energy, passion, and wisdom that divinization brings uplifts, focuses, and blesses Sacred Activists in extraordinary ways.

In this transmission, Andrew will share the four-part path to becoming a divine human — a path which needs to be understood and pursued by Sacred Activists. He’ll explain why understanding this map provides tremendous hope, joy, and energy.

In this session, you’ll:

• Explore the 4-part path to becoming a divine human
• Be guided in a golden light practice that draws from Hindu and Tantric traditions to help you connect with the divinizing power of the Divine Feminine — to constantly remind you of the birth that is happening and infuse you with its golden spacious energy

You'll also receive a Bonus Transmission from Caroline Baker, our greatest living spiritual intellectual around the topic of collapse. Caroline has written several essential books, including Undaunted, and with Andrew Harvey, Radical Regeneration. Caroline will share from her own experience how she has been able to find grounded peace and great joy despite knowing that extinction on a mass level is possible. Her elder wisdom will infuse us all with stoic and radiant faith in life and persistence in service no matter what is happening around us.
