Discover the Advanced Teachings and Practices Hidden Within the Depths of Esoteric Christianity to Transfigure Your Body, Mind, and Spirit and Birth a Truly Sacred Culture
Be prepared to enter into the mysteries of Christ consciousness to open your heart, divinize your shadow, and walk a path of sacred action in the world
Jesus said that we would someday do the same things as him, only greater.
Do you dare to take him at his word and see yourself as capable of the depth of his divine realization? Can you dream of truly living from Christ consciousness?
Jesus As Wayshower
While it’s easier to see Jesus as an untouchable Savior, we believe that the Christ Path that he illuminated was never meant for just one individual to walk but eventually to become the pathway for many more to follow.
Seen in this light, Jesus was a wayshower rather than a singular Messiah, a pathfinder rather than a king above all.
He was a teacher who wanted students who would eventually surpass him.
Making this shift in our understanding opens a far more intimate, illuminating, and liberating relationship with one of history’s great spiritual leaders and the mystics who followed in his footsteps.
This fundamental shift allows us to see Christ consciousness as a higher octave of our OWN potential, if we allow ourselves to undergo the necessary purifications, healings and transformations to embody it.
The many predictions of a Second Coming of Christ, seen through this lens, are not about the return of the historical Jesus but about the activation of Christ consciousness on a wider scale, which has the potential to truly change our world.
Imagine not just one Jesus, but hundreds and eventually millions resembling him. Perhaps including you.
That is a very bold vision but it just may hold the key to the healing of our world.
Why the Christ Path is Vital for Our Moment in History
We are blessed to be alive at one of the most amazing moments in history, when all that was once hidden is now becoming revealed, including the esoteric truths of mystics from around the world.
Humanity is awakening to who we truly are; at once finite and infinite, matter and spirit, human and divine.
And yet, as the veils are slowly lifted from our eyes, the chasm also widens between those of us who are “waking up” and those of us that choose to “sleep.” The symptoms of that sleep are horrifying, as consumerism, waste and war create carnage in human society and our natural ecosystems.
We are fast approaching the crossroads of our destiny. Many believe that this decade is our crucial, turning-point time before we hit systemic breakdown.
If we continue down the path we are on, the path of unconscious materialism, we will face the potential destruction of ourselves and our planet.
However, if we can find the courage to wake up and walk a new path of sacred consciousness and peaceful culture, we will have a precious, rare opportunity to divinize ourselves and create this world in a wholly new way.
The path of Christ consciousness offers a foundational, even essential, set of teachings and practices for seeing THIS world as divine, given to us to steward in a way that leads to peace, communal prosperity, health, and justice.
It is a path based on Oneness and seeing ourselves as a sacred family. It is a path of blessing and wholeness and sacred embodiment.
It is a love-filled antidote to the soul-deadening, planet-destroying greed of materialism which holds enormous sway over our culture, our businesses, our politics, and our minds.
Humanity’s Rite of Passage
Whether we see it or not, our collective crises are now leading us into an intensely personal and collective rite of passage to face and heal our shadow in order to reclaim our full divinity and open to a higher octave of possibility.
If we resist this initiatory process, we only amplify our unconsciousness and the suffering it creates.
If we can consciously embrace this transformative journey, we not only transmute our suffering but also begin the alchemical process of divinizing our body, mind and soul.
According to the great evolutionary mystics throughout the ages, the ultimate purpose of evolution is to bring heaven to earth and birth God in man.
That is what awaits us on the other side of our rite of passage.
The Return of the Esoteric Christ
One of the greatest spiritual secrets guarded through the ages was that Jesus was both fully human and radically divine. He was in fact a demonstration of the kind of transformation that is possible for ALL of humanity as we enter this rite of passage.
Hidden within his remarkable life, he left us a complete spiritual map to transform human consciousness and create a truly sacred culture on planet earth.
And while more and more people are beginning to wake up to this profound truth, the question remains:
How can we decode, understand, and apply the ancient map of spiritual transformation that Jesus left us?
In other words, how do we REALLY manifest the Christ force in our modern lives?
Rediscovering the Advanced Teachings & Practices of the Christ Path
The good news is that there is a profoundly gifted teacher who has dedicated his life to unveiling the mystery of the esoteric Christ and making the most powerful teachings and practices available to those of us who are ready to receive it.
That man is the renowned mystic and scholar, Andrew Harvey.
Andrew is the prolific author of over 40 books and spiritual classics, including The Essential Mystics, The Son of Man and The Heart of Yoga. He’s also one of the most inspired and illuminating speakers on the subject of esoteric Christian mysticism. He has a remarkable gift for opening our eyes and peeling away the falsehoods to reveal the wild, liberating truth at the core.
On a personal level, he’s been through the fires of the inner Dark Night, the heart-opening illuminations, and the intense disillusionments that have cracked him open to Christ consciousness, bringing him to his knees again and again.
Andrew knows the terrain of the birthing of Christ consciousness in a way that few others do. Because of his scholarly depth and personal experience, there is perhaps no more articulate, passionate, and perceptive teacher to lead people on this journey.
And that is why we are so excited to offer – exclusive to The Shift Network – the groundbreaking Christ Path Advanced Intensive with him.
It’s the most rigorous, in-depth, no-holds-barred training that Andrew has ever offered at a distance. This sacred offering from his heart to yours is a chance to harvest the bounty of a lifetime of mystical practice and rigorous scholarship.
The Christ Path Advanced Intensive has been created for heart-centered, open-minded, globally-concerned seekers to undertake a profound, life-changing journey together.
Over nine months, participants will explore and deepen their relationship with Christ consciousness in a way that gives you full access to the profound blessings of this path.
The journey will help you clear away lingering falsehoods that have distorted Christian traditions. It will lead you instead into profound initiations, mind-expanding recognitions, and the next steps on your journey of transformation of body, mind, and soul.
You’ll have the chance to unlock the innermost, esoteric secrets of the Christ Path and receive the hidden truths, liberating practices, and profound blessings of Jesus and the many extraordinary mystics that followed him, from Meister Eckhart to Teresa of Avila to Father Bede Griffiths. You’ll deepen your understanding of the Divine Feminine, the Sacred Masculine and the birth through the Sacred Marriage of the Divine Child, the Divine Human.
The goal is to pioneer and practice a 21st century embodiment of the Christ: grounded in sacred action, suffused with wisdom, and illuminated by a divine fire.
To enter this journey, one need not be a Christian; spiritual seekers (and even atheists) from every tradition are welcome.
The only requirement is a commitment in your heart to walk the path with real dedication, since the Advanced Intensive is for those with a powerful love for this world and a sincere desire to become an emissary of the Divine.
Andrew has created this advanced training because he sees our world at a perilous precipice and recognizes the need for a spiritual path that gives us a roadmap for the transfiguration of ourselves and our world.
This personal transformation takes time – far more than a weekend workshop or introductory course can give. Nine months is the gestation period for a newborn baby and it can be the gestation period for the Christ within you as you undertake the hot, cool, and embodied practices that bring the Christ alive in your very cells and transform your heart, mind, soul and body.
If your view of the spiritual path is only of sweetness and light, this Intensive will not be for you; Andrew is unflinching in showing the ways that we evade suffering in a way that imperils us. He’ll challenge what you believe in ways that may sometimes be uncomfortable. He’ll speak into the heart of darkness, shadow, and horror.
He does this because he knows the real Christ fire requires an unflinching commitment to truth and to love.
And he also knows with utter surety that these teachings hold essential keys for our individual healing and collective awakening: they are the gateway into the sacred marriage and the guide to the alchemical journey in which we turn our lead into gold.
They are the key to becoming divine humans.
In Andrew’s view, it’s time for the world to embrace a more full-spectrum view of the Christ Path, one that encompasses embodiment as well as transcendence, the awakened heart and fierce love in action.
Jesus’ central message was not to blindly follow him into some transcendent paradise, but to discover the Christ within you, and within all things, and to thus embody the divine human, marrying heaven with earth, body and spirit, heart and mind, to become the co-creator on earth of the King-dom/Queen-dom.
That is the real solution to our current challenges.
How to Embody Christ Consciousness in Your Daily Life
So if you are one of those rare individuals who has heard your soul’s calling and yearns to make living Christ Consciousness a top priority in your life, then this is a truly special opportunity for you.
This immersive online training – exclusive to The Shift Network – will build upon the foundational principles Andrew taught in his acclaimed 7-week Christ Path course but expand the curriculum considerably and take it to much deeper, subtler and more advanced levels, while drawing upon many of the great Christian mystics.
This life-changing Intensive is being offered with the sincere intention of fueling the sacred fire in your heart and empowering you to make permanent shifts in your awareness while expanding the collective field of transformation to engulf your life, your community, and eventually our planet.
When you graduate, you will not only have forged lifetime friendships and connections with a community of awakening souls but you will also have more fully integrated the Christ Path into all aspects of your daily life.
What You’ll Discover in This 9-Month Intensive
During the 9 months, Andrew will build upon the essential pillars of a ‘Christed’ life while skillfully guiding you through the fundamental spiritual skills and practices that you’ll need to transform your body, mind and spirit while living in the modern world.
Each training session will build harmoniously upon the next, so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to sustain your Christ Path in everyday life.
The main course sessions will air from 5-7 pm Pacific/ 8-10 pm Eastern time on Wednesdays. However, even if you cannot make the scheduled calls, you can still get the full benefit of this Intensive.
We have also incorporated the invaluable feedback that we have received from Andrew’s students and graduates to create a powerful online format for transformational learning and practice.
If you are truly ready to dive deep into the transformative power of the Christ Path, this 9-Month Advanced Intensive with Andrew Harvey is the perfect training for you.

Through illness, hardship, and persecution by the Inquisition, this courageous mystic lit the way with her unquenchable spirit to an ‘interior castle,’ a place of unimaginable beauty and light where no darkness can touch us.”

What Graduates of The Christ Path Advanced Intensive Are Saying...
Words cannot express what the Christ Path Advanced Intensive has meant to me. Andrew Harvey is a masterful teacher and shared a wealth of knowledge and spiritual practices that I will treasure the rest of my life.
– Kathy, Bel Air, MD
Everything about this course worked! The content was rich, filled with insight. Andrew's presentation of the material was filled with passion and devotion, quite contagious. And finally, his deep humility served as a profound invitation to join him on the Christ Path. As a result of this course, I feel re-newed energy to focus on my life purpose, and have seen a deepening of love with my immediate family and those I work with. Finally, I often feel a great joy; the joy of knowing that the Christ spirit is alive and well in the world — and in my heart!
– Ron, Boulder, Colorado
Sharing nine months of classes with Andrew Harvey was a gift of the highest order. Andrew is without a doubt the premier teacher on Christ and the mystical application of his teachings. I HIGHLY recommend this class. Give yourself this gift and experience Andrew Harvey as he teaches you to become what we are all being called to become: sacred activists.
– Laurel Geise, St Petersburg, Florida
Andrews's brilliance blended with his glorious heart felt clarity as to his teachings that expressed a balance or coming together of the opposites, which Carl Jung called the "enantiadramia". In doing so, Andrew poignantly spoke of the marriage of the masculine and feminine, the dark and the light ; the challenge of duality and how we might meet it as Jesus so profoundly did in bringing through Love that seems to transcend all opposites.
– Thea Soroyan MA MFT, Boulder Co.
Highly recommend this course. It was very expansive & at times explosive in its revelation of Christ. Cosmic, with cosmic repercussions & consequences. Truly transformative for the whole being. Even tho' I'm truly more of a contemplative than an activist, Andrew's emphasis on bringing our inner work into some form of outer sacred activism has sparked & encouraged me to do just that.
– Wendy, Lebanon, Pa.
The Christ Path Advanced Intensive gave me an entire additional level of understanding of the Christ Path than what I received growing up in the Church. It has been a great blessing to have received these teachings.
– Val, New Mexico
There is no way to measure the impact of this course. Andrew's deep love of Jesus and commitment to love in action is thrilling. It is also contagious. He truly has been blessed with the Spirit for a mission in this world at this time. I am humbled and honored to have been a part of his deep shadings.
– Madeline Horrigan, Raleigh, NC
Andrew Harvey is a Mystic of the Highest Order. His brilliance and humility merge into a deeply authentic presentation of extraordinary content, practices, and prayers. His teaching style and the depth of his message has stirred the fire of desire within my Heart to walk the disciplined and steep Christ Path to becoming my Holy Christ Self. May God greatly bless you, Andrew, for your service to the Light.
– Rev. Angel Tucson, AZ
Andrew's class has been the most transformational class I have taken and I have taken many classes over the past decade. Andrew pushed me to look deep inside myself — past my egoic new age comfort zone — past my social and religious ingrained beliefs. I found the marriage of the light and dark inside me, discovered the child of the mother/father godhead that I am. Andrew's deepening practices provided me with real tools that truly help me in this busy human world. This course helped me navigate my way through a difficult divorce and the big shifts/changes I've made along the way. Thank you Andrew for YOU, for the love you are, for bringing these transmissions to the world! Thank you Shift Network for offering big courses and impacting my life through Andrew's class. Many blessings.
– Carol Mauer, Waterloo, Iowa
It not only struck a chord in my heart, it played a symphony. Confirmation. Emergence. The course brings a deeper understanding to the Christ through the writings and works of the mystics, expanding interpretations and insights. The insights, practices, brought a new level to the knowing of who we are. Thanks to Andrew, the Christ Path is now well lit.

More Praise for Andrew Harvey...
Every age has its teachers, who keep the eternal truths alive for all of us. And 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, author of Everyday Grace
Andrew is a genius and an inspired visionary who has the ability to interpret the meaning and significance of the chaos and patterns of change that are redirecting the compass of our contemporary culture. Andrew is a spiritual, intellectual, and cultural mystic whose passion is to awaken people to a new and essential empowerment in this world: sacred activism. He has defined and grounded the route, the means, and the way individuals can and should respond to the chaos and rapid changes that now characterize our contemporary spiritual and cultural life. Andrews research reflects his superb academic background as a professor at Oxford and his passion clearly reveals that his soul is on fire with a grace that comes from the Divine.
– Caroline Myss, Author of Anatomy of the Spirit and Sacred Contracts
Amid the myriad challenges we face on earth — the population explosion, environmental degradation, nuclear proliferation, religious fundamentalism, terrorism, war, apocalypse-think, and more, it is easy to be overwhelmed by a sense of futility and hopelessness. Now comes a singularly courageous, charismatic individual, Andrew Harvey, with an answer to all of these challenges: personal transformation and empowerment through an encounter with the divine feminine. This process is not esoteric, but is entirely natural and as near as our own shadow. Harveys sacred activism is a corrective to the doomsayers and do-nothings who are part of our problems. He is a modern version of a fiery, Old-Testament prophet, whose words were ignored at great peril. We must attend to Andrew Harveys message. Not only will it help us humans regain our sanity, it just might save our skins.
– Larry Dossey, M.D., Author of The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things
Using humor, passion, and analysis, Andrew Harvey challenges us to wake up and get up off of our couches to become the spiritual activists we all can be. A powerful, provocative, prophetic appeal to sanity and activism for our apocalyptic times, this film is recommended for anyone who cares about the survival of their grandchildren or planet or both. Is anyone listening?
– Reverend Matthew Fox, author, Creation Spirituality and founder of Wisdom University
Andrew Harvey is one of the worlds irreplaceable resources.

– Evelyn, Arizona USA
I was deeply inspired by Andrew’s passion, commitment and authenticity. His insights in addressing how spiritual seeking can become narcissistic and in integrating the passion of the mystic with that of the activist are wise indeed and much needed in these days.
– Rev. Joan Fumetti, Des Moines, IA
The Christ Path with Andrew Harvey was a life changing experience. Every lecture was the perfect balance of grounded realism and Spiritual ecstasy. The bridging of Heaven and Earth and Divine Feminine and Masculine resonated totally and was energetically palpable through Andrew. I am so grateful for this beloved, authentic, passionate and visionary soul and the urgent message he brings at this time.
– Amata Boccella, La Cienega, New Mexico
This course was such a blessing for me. Andrew is more than a pioneer in this area, he is a visionary and a prophet for our time. The richness of his scholarly work and the depth of his personal mystical insights are so far ahead of anyone else’s teaching at this time. The world is finally starting to catch up with him and we are all blessed that he continues to share so generously with the world. Thank you The Shift Network for making his teachings available in a format that makes it easy to access and study in even more depth. His teachings are truly priceless.
– Stephanie, Charlotte, North Carolina
This course has been so confirming and heartening to hear of Andrew’s and others experiences. I have found Andrew’s understanding of the Christ path, the clarification and teachings invaluable. I have been waiting for this type of course for a long time. Thank you to you all for creating this course.
– Anna Sedgwick, London, UK.
Andrew Harvey opened my mind and my heart to the possibility of full embodiment into Christ. His ideas, practices and his energetic transmission will be with me for a long time ... perhaps always.
– Lauri, Austin, TX
I LOVED this course. It brought me to tears several times! The content was superb. I found Andrew himself to be such a shining example of the kind of human we can ALL be. He's a great example of humility & grace, and his knowledge of the subject matter is both academic & personal. To live the way he does is something to aspire to — or to "let loose" from within! Thanks SO much! More, more, more Andrew Harvey, please!
– Lisa Talamantez, Chicago, IL
