Evolutionary Leader Terry Patten, author of A New Republic of the Heart, a guide to inner work for holistic change, will be offering an important free online event.
Terry has long been at the forefront of integrating spiritual wisdom with prescient social observation. Now he’s turning his attention to what may be one of our key leverage points in a fragmenting world, increasingly plagued by delusion and disinformation: our capacity for generosity and friendship.
Does love “develop”? Are there higher “stages” to friendship? Might next-stage friendships be our survival superpower amidst our current crisis of fragmentation, alienation and collective mania? Can they enable us to be more effective citizens of our world-in-crisis?
This teaching event will offer you uplift, urgency, and clarity — toward your own personal empowerment and our collective opportunity.
Questions Terry will address include:
- How do we find our deep “spiritual friends” who are humble and open, and who can meet us at the heart amidst whatever craziness arises?
- What kind of “spiritual friendship” is required at this critical stage in the human journey? How can we stabilize a new way of being with one another and magnify its impact through our collective practice?
- How can our depth of presence and curiosity add a valuable buffer against the collective manic episodes we see happening in our world?
- How can the practice of gratefulness — celebrating the gift of this very moment, no matter the circumstances — blossom naturally into radical generosity?
- Which experimental practices and ways of relating might be most likely to catalyze the dynamic spiritual friendship and coherence that our moment requires?
