Sacred Activism: Living Non-Violence

Nov 20, 2023

Transcript:

‘Hi, I’m Sarah. Perhaps like me, you look at all the crises in the world and you think I have to do something? I have to take some action. I cannot be a bystander anymore.

And perhaps like me, you think whatever action I take it has to be sacred. The crises in the world require a sacred response. I need to be a sacred activist. Well, what does that mean? And how do I do it?

If you’re interested in those questions, please join me in May and we’ll spend some time on a short course exploring exactly that.

Thank you!’
