Integral Spiritual Practice: Evolving Spirituality for the 21st Century
Dear Dorothy,

It’s easy to become disheartened by the injustice, tragedies and natural disasters unfolding in our communities and around the world.

If you find yourself questioning how we can possibly turn things around, you’re not alone.

I’ve tackled this “impossible question” deeply in my upcoming book A New Republic of the Heart: An Ethos for Revolutionaries. It is a major book, one I think will advance our practice and discourse, helping us understand the new more conscious political entity that is already coming into being, in our hearts, our friendships, and our creative projects.

But between now and March 6th, when that book will be released by North Atlantic Books, there’s a lot we can do. We can turn especially to spiritually-inspired activists. There are many. Hundreds of thousands of people like us are not only asking this "impossible question", they’re stepping up to answer the call and participate in manifesting the changes we need and are ready for.

This is a time for out-of-the-box thinking, startups, and unprecedented ideas.

What would happen if, together, we envisioned (and executed!) breakthroughs in the thorny areas that we’re facing — from homelessness to racism to war to poverty to sustainability?

What would happen if we aimed to create these major changes by the year 2020— for ourselves, our communities and for the rest of the world?

Something inspiring and potentially world-changing.

Last September, a group of people came together in Sacramento, California for the Vision 2020 summit, aiming to answer those questions in real terms. I was there, and I found it richly heartening.

I invite you to join me, and many others December 5-7, 2017 — where you’ll see me presenting along with more than 50 thought leaders at a virtual summit on grounded spiritual activism as it is already being practiced by practitioner-activists in California. You’ll discover a laboratory for the future, an incubator of genius, a catalyst for birthing new possibilities that has networked among a group of people committed to creating a world that works for ALL.

Participating will give you hope, inspiration and power to make a difference in your life and the lives of your community and our world.

Together, we have a chance (and a responsibility) to light the path to a brighter future.

Vision 2020
December 5-7, 2017

I’m honored to be among this diverse group of community leaders — including Dolores Huerta, Marianne Williamson, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Sister Jenna, Stephen Dinan, Rev. angel Kyodo williams, Joan Blades, Shariff Abdullah, Michael Lerner, Andrew Harvey and many others — revealing bold visions and strategies for shifting our world, scaling up our influence and impact and making new possibilities as attractive, successful and imitation-worthy as possible.

RSVP here for Vision 2020 — at no charge.

Here’s some of what the speakers, including me, will be sharing with you:

In a panel on spiritual activism, I advance our human conversation into important new territory, bringing to light the terrible truths of our time, but also the wonderful secret that evolutionary pressures are already transforming us, birthing us into a new stage and structure of human culture.
Marianne Williamson calls us forward to step in and stand up for our country's founding principles, and the sacred commitment that ALL people are created equal.
Sister Jenna offers a dynamic, enlightening transmission on how our thoughts have the power to create our reality — demonstrating that the awakening and shift in our country requires the transformation of our inner world.
Stephen Dinan discusses Vision 2020, a powerful movement to educate ourselves and each other — a solution-focused resource for designing and activating the more beautiful world we all know is possible.
Rev. angel Kyodo williams shows how the “American Dream” has been a nightmare for all non-Caucasian people throughout our country's history — while inspiring you to envision and create a brave, inclusive, new American Dream.
Joan Blades with John Gable will introduce a powerful practice for healing relationships that are broken or diminished because of divergent political orientations — offering communication techniques that build understanding across divides.
Shariff Abdullah addresses the complex topic of racial injustice… and expresses a vision for a future of equality and economic stability for all socioeconomic classes.
Michael Lerner with Cat Zavis will emphasize the importance of creating social change movements grounded in empathy and infused with love, compassion and spiritual wisdom and practices.
Andrew Harvey offers insights on sacred activism and how it can lead to deep shifts in our political evolution.
You’re invited to join this one-of-a-kind online event at no charge to connect with a larger community of spiritually inspired activists. You’ll witness many conscious change agents explore how they are bringing their inner work to the task so that, together, step by step, we’re shifting the way we do things personally and collectively to create a more compassionate, peaceful, accepting and just world.

Together, we are beginning to initiate a new wave of our social, political — and, yes — spiritual potential. This project is a beautiful example of the many new expressions of civic wholeness that are arising during this superficially “dark” time, and which, in my upcoming book, I recognize as strands in a much larger movement through which a new republic of the heart is coming into being.

RSVP here for Vision 2020 — at no charge.

To our evolution,
Terry
