Discover Your Direct Connection to the Divine…
Receive Essential Practices and Insights for Tapping Into the Loving Energies Behind All Creation and Becoming a Vessel of Love and Grace

What if you could access divine love at will… immersing yourself in the ecstatic energy that created the stars, the heavens and all of life?

Are you seeking the all-encompassing love that melts away all fear and self-doubt? A love that bestows pure bliss and a peace that passes all understanding…

This union with the Divine is not only for saints and sages. It’s available to all human beings.

You too, can directly experience the unconditional, transformational tenderness of the Beloved.

The truth is you are ALWAYS held in the arms of this vast and universal love, even when you feel most alone.

By applying mystical practices handed down over millennia, you can consciously attune your mind, body and soul with this deep and lasting love…

Your entire life becomes an act of love when you know how to fuse with the energy, peace and passion of the Divine.

Your every loving thought resonates with this all-embracing love, strengthening your vibrational connection with the Divine.

You awaken to the truth of your existence… YOU are a unique expression of the DIVINE.

Experiencing this reality is more accessible than you may have thought…

Andrew Harvey, one of today’s most riveting and passionate spiritual teachers, will help you navigate through the mystical principles and practices — beyond dogma, beyond religion, and beyond intermediaries of any kind — to unlock your personal connection to divine love.

Andrew is one of the world’s leading sacred scholars, having written or edited more than 30 published works covering the full range of esoteric traditions — from Christianity to Islam to Hinduism to Buddhism.

Having mastered the step-by-step process for entering into a mature and exhilarating relationship with the Divine, Andrew is an expert guide for your own awakening to this ecstatic love.

Love is far more than a choice or an emotion… it’s the life force of the universe, the whisper of the Divine, ceaselessly calling you home.

If you doubt such an awakening is possible for you, know that countless people just like you have have made this direct connection with the Divine and now embody and express this profound love in their everyday lives.

Yet, your deep attunement with the Divine won’t solve all of life’s challenges.

Navigating relationships, business, community, and the world’s suffering still requires clarity, focus and discernment.

You will, however meet these challenges grounded in what you truly are: LOVE.

As a result, your relationships will thrive, even when there’s conflict. Your work will become more fulfilling. And you’ll feel at peace, moving through the world with spiritual maturity… responding to rather than reacting, to life.

Andrew Harvey will awaken you to receive the fiery, ecstatic love that is your birthright and your destiny. His teachings marry piercing insights with deep compassion and an unrelenting dedication to helping people of all paths and belief systems access and embody divine love.

Discover the Gifts of Sacred Activism
When you’re empowered by the energy, peace and passion of divine love, it becomes a great joy to do the work of personal and collective transformation so urgently needed in the world.

You find that you naturally want to help others, whether it’s heartfelt acts on a small scale or community organizing, supporting a nonprofit, or advocating for the environment.

Andrew Harvey calls this Sacred Activism — dedicating your love, your courage and your strength to reimagine and remake the world as you wish it to be. You begin to transition from making choices to becoming a driving force for change.

Andrew’s dramatic baptism into sacred activism occurred in India when, in an ecstatic state of attunement with the Divine, he emerged from a church service, and as he tells it…

“I saw a young man, without arms or legs, in a filthy shirt, squatting miserably and desolately in a puddle. He was one of the most beautiful human beings I had ever seen, with a face absolutely purified by extreme pain and extreme suffering. As I helped him out of the puddle, I heard a thunderous voice within me say:

For years, you have been using the mystical experiences the divine has given you for your own satisfaction and self-aggrandizement. You must stop this because the only purpose of mystical awakening is to make you a servant of divine love in the world. The only question that you’ll be asked when you cross the waters of death is, ‘What did you do while the world was burning?’”

During this life-changing 10-week training, Andrew will share more details about his extraordinary experiences in sacred activism and show you how you yourself can engage in profound sacred dreaming of a new and better reality while working in the practical world to realize it.

He will help you discover and experience for yourself the boundless energy and great joy of selfless service — the joy that can only come when you’ve realized the essential unity between responsibility and ecstasy.

Andrew will also explain why, in order to authentically walk the path of sacred activism, you must be able to face and integrate two powerful shadows: the shadow of the mystic and the shadow of the activist.

The very best of the mystic is the connection with divine truth, power, peace and passion. And the very best of the activist is the passion to see justice done, to see the forests whole again, to see the poor fed, and to see humanity live in harmony with itself and our world.

When you marry the fire of the mystic’s passion for God with the noblest part of the activist’s longing for justice, those two flames come together to create a sacred alchemical reaction in the depths of your being that births a third flame, which is the flame of pure love and wisdom in action.

And it all begins with establishing, maintaining and deepening your connection to divine love. In doing so, you will radically open your heart, awaken to an embodied divinity, and walk a glorious and joyous path of sacred action.

During this powerful training, Andrew will share with you:

• What it takes to connect deeply with the Divine
• How the process can release your authentic self into the world
• A clear vision of what divine love is asking us to give, to gamble and to risk
• What you’re able to liberate as you tap into the power of divine love
• Why divine love wants all of you — heart, mind, body and soul — in order to transform you into its living instrument
• How to open to the intrinsic wisdom of an endless evolutionary journey
• How to have unconditional love permeate all of your relationships
• A mystical practice to connect with the Divine Mother, awaken all of your spiritual centers, and unlock your deeper potentials
• How to welcome ever more peace, joy and love into your heart
• Simple yet powerful practices to align with the evolutionary force that beckons you to the next level of embodied divine humanity
• The seven laws, drawn from the great mystical traditions, that govern sacred action
• How to illumine your whole life with divine love so that your life becomes an active prayer
• How to recognize the importance of shadow work for anyone who wants to effect powerful change in the world
• Why courageously facing the global Dark Night ultimately leads you to the lap of the Divine

What You’ll Discover in These 10 Weeks
Course sessions are on Tuesdays at 5:00pm Pacific.

Each teaching, contemplation and training session will build harmoniously upon the next so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to establish a living, dynamic, ecstatic connection with the Divine.

Beyond the 7 teaching modules, Andrew has added 3 essential integration sessions to support you in working more deeply with the material from each class. These dynamic LIVE sessions will be a great opportunity to unpack Andrew’s rich teachings plus receive additional guidance through Q&A.

Module 1: The Road to Divine Love (June 6)
We’ll be exploring the nature of divine love, the road to embodying divine love, and the power that comes to those who love divinely. It is only through a direct connection with the evolutionary force of divine love that the birth of a new humanity can take place.

In this module, you’ll:

Gain a new understanding of what is required to ensure that divine love is fully born in you
Be given a definition of divine love which rescues it from sentimentality — a definition that includes its fierce and sometimes creatively destructive aspects
Awaken to the realization that divine love will not only irradiate your mind and expand your heart but also illumine and transform your body
Acquire a clear vision of what divine love is asking us to give, to gamble and to risk
Be given sacred practices to help you integrate the love of the Beloved into the very core of your extraordinary ordinary daily life
Module 2: The Great Peace
The Transcendent Godhead (June 13)

The Great Peace — the tremendous clarion call of all the major mystics of all traditions — is the first of the fiver major aspects of divine love that need to be integrated at your deepest depths. Without this great divine serenity, clear discernment, profound patience and cosmic perspective, you cannot be grounded in the Divine.

In this module, you’ll:

Appreciate the perfection of what is ceaselessly unfolding all around you
Understand why the Great Peace is the transcendent Godhead, a.k.a. the Heavenly Father, beyond creation
Receive easy-to-use techniques that give you practical ways to reduce stress, calm your mind and return it to its ground in light
Be given sacred practices to help you integrate the love of the Beloved into the very core of your extraordinary ordinary daily life
Module 3: The Great Passion
The Embodied Godhead (June 20)

The Great Passion, the other “face” of the Divine, is the wild, holy evolutionary, creative passion that the Great Peace emanates. When the Great Passion is “married” to the Great Peace, the two opposites (beyond creation and within creation) dance within you, and you become one with the Father/Mother.

In this module, you’ll:

Understand why the Great Passion is the embodied Godhead, a.k.a. The Divine Mother, within creation
Be given powerful heart practices that will awaken the passion of the sacred heart
Receive effective body practices that will support the fiery energies released in and through divine passion
Be given sacred practices to help you integrate the love of the Beloved into the very core of your extraordinary ordinary daily life
Module 4: Integration Session (June 27)
In this special session, you’ll be able to engage with Andrew to further explore the course material and deepen your understanding. Andrew will also be looking forward to hearing about what you personally experienced while putting the principles and practices from the first three sessions into action. Andrew will end the session with a lively Q&A.

Module 5: The Great Wisdom of the Light (July 11)

Love isn’t simply or even primarily an emotion, it is also an eruption of a profound ecstatic knowledge as you walk the sacred path of transfiguration. Only by initiation into the holy, radiant power of the divine light can you allow the fullness of transcendence to dissolve all your separations from your own divine self that is one with the Divine self.

In this module, you’ll:

Be introduced to the wisdom of the light that divine love opens up
Awaken to the hope that the light of wisdom opens up
Discover why the great wisdom of the light is essential to the work of divine love
Receive essential practices that enable you over time to experience the light directly
Get a map of how the light works in you to transform you
Understand the different stages of the working of the light in the mystical path
Be given sacred practices to help you integrate the love of the Beloved into the very core of your extraordinary ordinary daily life
Module 6: The Great Wisdom of the Dark (July 18)

In this world of duality, the Great Wisdom of the Dark is an indispensable partner in the dance of opposites required for transfiguration. This is the wisdom of the serpent, of heartbroken, humble compassion, and can only come from radical heartbreak — heartbreak at your own inner Dark Night that’s essential for the birth of the Divine in you, and heartbreak at the agony of this exploding world crisis that threatens the extinction of the human race and of a large swath of nature.

In this module, you’ll:

Discover how to find pearls of divine wisdom by diving deeply into both your individual shadow and the collective shadow
Understand the ways in which your personal shadow colludes with the collective shadow
Receive a vision of the power and glory of the dark feminine energy of Kali and the Black Madonna
Understand why courageously facing the global Dark Night ultimately leads you to the lap of the Divine
Find out the three supreme gifts of the Great Wisdom of the Dark
Discover how to shatter the final barrier between humanity and divinity
Appreciate the imperative of sacred activism for global healing
Be given sacred practices to help you integrate the love of the Beloved into the very core of your extraordinary ordinary daily life
Module 7: Integration Session (July 25)
In this special session, you’ll be able to engage with Andrew to further explore the course material and deepen your understanding. Andrew will also be looking forward to hearing about what you personally experienced while putting the principles and practices from the last two sessions into action. Andrew will end the session with a lively Q&A.

Module 8: Putting Divine Love Into Action (August 1)

We’ll be exploring the holiest ideals of how to put the five major aspects of divine love into radical practice. These ideals are represented by the tantric vision of Christ Consciousness and by the Buddhist vision of the Bodhisattva: a being who absolutely embraces all of the pain, glory, madness, chaos, order and beauty of the world and enters fully into life, fully conscious of divine identity, and blazing with divine love to selflessly do divine work in the world.

In this module, you’ll:

Look at the numerous ways these holiest of ideals have been manifested throughout history
Understand why the fifth major aspect of divine love — putting divine love into action — is indispensable to living a truly spiritual life
Examine the vision of the divine transfiguration process
Discover why doing your own unique sacred work helps birth the new embodied divine humanity
Explore the seven laws, drawn from the great mystical traditions, that govern sacred action
Be given sacred practices to help you integrate the love of the Beloved into the very core of your extraordinary ordinary daily life
Module 9: A Universal Vision of Divine Love ( August 8)

We’ll be exploring how the lover — the one who has fallen in love with the Beloved, and is experiencing the Beloved-beloved relationship — loves all things and all beings as living signs of the Divine presence. And we’ll be examining the power of sacred imagination inspired by divine love to create possibilities for that love to be realized over time.

In this module, you’ll:

Establish the nature of divine love — how it is simultaneously dynamic and peaceful
Discover how this love is expressed through both presence and through a focus on real problems in the world
Explore what the lover does with his or her life by expressing their love in sacred action
Examine the dynamic relationship between grand ideals and practical action
Understand how putting divine love into action can help transform the cultural and global crises that threaten to destroy life on this planet
Be given sacred practices to help you integrate the love of the Beloved into the very core of your extraordinary ordinary daily life
Module 10: Integration Session (August 15)
In this special session, you’ll be able to engage with Andrew to further explore the course material and deepen your understanding. Andrew will also be looking forward to hearing about what you personally experienced while putting the principles and practices from the last two sessions into action. Andrew will end the session with a lively Q&A.

The Divine Love Supplemental Teachings
3 Audio Teachings From Andrew Harvey

These three lectures were hand-selected by Andrew from his previous courses at The Shift Network. These additional teachings will support you in deepening your commitment and practice of divine love.

Co-create an Inclusive Vision of Peace, Justice & Solidarity With Others That Joins Your Authentic Essence With Theirs

This teaching is extraordinarily sacred and important because you’ll approach with awe and reverence the central mystery at the core of the journey towards evolutionary love. And this mystery is that if we are authentic evolutionary lovers then our love is not separate from the great, fiery, evolving love force in the whole universe that is attempting to birth a new divine humanity.

Rediscover the Christ Path, Awakening the Divine Human

In this teaching, Andrew begins by recalling the teachings of his mentor Father Bede Griffiths regarding the birth of the Divine Human. These teachings changed everything for Andrew and ignited a fire in him to discover what was the force that could actually bring this Divine Human into being?

Sacred Activism & the Divine Human, Bringing Heaven Back to Earth

In this teaching, Andrew shares what we need to open to the divine in gratitude, thanksgiving, praise and adoration. He shares what sacred practices are necessary if you truly want to be an instrument of this Divine birth.

In this dynamic collection of practices and inspirational expression from Andrew, you’ll be well supported in your work in this course.

Prayer & Activism
Audio Dialogue With Andrew Harvey and Adam Bucko

In this special session, Andrew is joined by his friend and spiritual activist, Adam Bucko. Adam’s work impacts many homeless youth in New York and he is at the forefront of the growing sacred activism movement along with Andrew. These two respected leaders will discuss how the role of prayer in activism can truly change the world.

Adam Bucko is an activist, spiritual director to many of New York City’s homeless youth, and co-author of Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation. He grew up in Poland during the totalitarian regime and spent his early years exploring the anarchist youth movement as a force for social and political change. At the age of 17, Adam immigrated to America where his desire to find his path towards a meaningful life led him to monasteries in the U.S. and India. His life-defining experience took place in India, where on his way to a Himalayan hermitage, he met a homeless child who lived on the streets of Delhi. This brief encounter led him to the “Ashram of the Poor,” where he began his work with homeless youth. After returning to the U.S., he worked on the streets of various American cities with young people struggling against homelessness and prostitution. He eventually co-founded The Reciprocity Foundation, an award-winning nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of New York City’s homeless youth.
