Andrew Harvey and Terry Patton in Dialogue
Please join us for:
Andrew Harvey
“The Ways of Passion and Illumination”
Sunday, January 25th
at 10 a.m. Pacific
These dialogues between such master teachers as these are immensely informative. They give us food for thought on major issues today. They do not simply repeat what we already know. Listen by all means.
Dear Dorothy,
This Sunday, January 25th at 10am Pacific please join me for another conversation with the renowned mystic, scholar, poet, and activist Andrew Harvey entitled “The Ways of Passion and Illumination.”
Over the last year Andrew and I have been engaged in a series of sacred conversations, ecstatically “riding the wave” of what is organically emerging in the moment, allowing it to guide us. We decided to start recording these conversations and even to teach together March 4-8 in Berkeley California.
This latest recording is in part an exploration of the true nature of Love. In it, I share with Andrew my belief that the task of our lifetime is to grow in our capacity to love. Love is the sternest master and asks everything of us.
You’ll also hear us discuss the (mostly) not talked about spiritual controversy between the ecstatic mystery teachings of intense spiritual feeling vs. the “cooler” nondual and mindfulness approaches. We both agreed that the reconciliation of these two schools could be the key to addressing our world in crisis—compassion and agency united in sacred activism.
We speak about our own practices and our latest insights, and what is becoming available in our own teaching. It’s no longer about the traditional exchange of wisdom or knowledge between teacher and student. A whole new model is emerging. Profoundly liberating transformation is not merely subjective; it is enacted in relationship, and ceremonially “made real” in community.
I’ve written a blog which further details what you’ll hear on the recording here. I hope you’ll listen in. You can follow along with Andrew’s gorgeous recitation of a Rumi poem which he says exemplifies the prime power of love as the way of illumination and knowing.
To our evolution,
Terry

About Andrew Harvey:
Andrew Harvey is an author, speaker and founder/director of the Institute of Sacred Activism, an international organization focused on inviting concerned people to take up the challenge of our contemporary global crises by becoming inspired, effective and practical agents of institutional and systemic change, in order to create peace and sustainability.
He was born in south India in 1952 where he lived until he was nine years old. At the age of 21, at Oxford University he became the youngest person ever to be awarded a fellowship to All Soul's College, England's highest academic honor. He became disillusioned with life there and returned to his native India, where a series of mystical experiences initiated his spiritual journey.
Over the next thirty years he plunged into different mystical traditions to learn their secrets and practices, including deep extended study and practice of Hinduism, and Tibetan Buddhist practice. He collaborated with Sogyal Rinpoche in writing the classic Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. He did deep study of Rumi and Sufi mysticism, and produced some of the most magnificent and luminous translations of Rumi's poetry.
