[TheGreenBough] ESP-IONS Community Group meets FRI SEPT 15 at 7PM

[fernando at cardoza-it.com]

Hello IONS Community and TGB Friends,

 

A wonderful gift has landed in our hands!  

 

We have received an audio CD of Stephen Dinan's recent interview with Andrew
Harvey.  The topic of the 50 minute conversation is The Essential Shifts and
Sacred Activism, and in our opinion offers a most compelling and energizing
perspective about the intersection of the development of our inner spiritual
selves and that yearning for engendering sacred action in a world that
-nowadays-seems to need it most.  

 

Join us for a group listening, be prepared to take copious notes as this is
very rich and fertile material, and participate in a discussion on how we
bring alive our deepest passions.  

 

What:  The Essential Shifts and Sacred Activism, by Andrew Harvey (audio CD)

When:  Friday, September 15, 7-9PM

Where: The Green Bough, 202 Fourth Street, 2nd Floor, Irwin PA 15642 

(724/331-9085, www.thegreenbough.com <http://www.thegreenbough.com/> )

About Andrew Harvey <http://www.andrewharvey.net/> 

Andrew Harvey is a poet, writer, teacher, and mystic. He was born in South
India where he lived until the age of nine, a period he credits with shaping
his vision of the inner unity of all religions. He attended Oxford
University in 1970 to study history on a scholarship. At the age of 21, he
became the youngest person ever to be awarded the Fellow of All Souls
College, England's highest academic honor.  He has continued to study a
variety of religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity. Harvey
has written and edited over 30 books. Honors he has received include the
Benjamin Franklin Award and the Mind Body Spirit Award (both for Mary's
Vineyard: Daily Readings, Meditations, and Revelations - photographs by Eryk
Hanut), and the Christmas Humphries Award for A Journey In Ladakh. 

 

Among Harvey's well-known titles are: The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying,
edited with Patrick Gaffney and Sogyal Rinpoch; Dialogues with a Modern
Mystic; The Way of Passion : A Celebration of Rumi; Hidden Journey; The
Essential Gay Mystics; and Son of Man. 

 

He has written for publications such as The New York Times Book Review, Yoga
Journal, Body Mind Spirit, Common Boundary, and Quest. He has taught at
Oxford, Cornell and Hobart and William Smith College, and was the subject of
the 1993 BBC documentary "The Making of a Mystic."

 

"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
