Whats next? Sacred Activism. An approach that sees all things as interconnected and seeks to unify rather than divide; where we act from our hearts and allow the doing to arise from the being. Weve just gotta love the hell out of em!-MLK You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -Gandhi Quotes from the Article: Sacred Activism is ‘the product of the union of a profound spiritual and mystical knowledge, understanding, and compassion, peace and energy, with focused, wise, radical action in the world’. This is spirituality, not as a rarefied pursuit divorced from the world, but practised in the world and dedicated to ‘hands-on realistic social, economic, and political engagement’. The Sacred Activism movement sees itself as the intellectual heir of the legacies of Ghandian non-violent direct action and Martin Luther King’s contribution to the Civil Rights movement. This is also perfectly aligned to ‘subtle activism’, a term coined by David Nicol, Director of the Center for Subtle Activism at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Subtle Activism is described by The Gaiafield Project, founded by Nicol, as ‘an activity of consciousness or spirit, such as prayer, meditation, or ecstatic dance, intended to support collective healing and social change.’
