Sacred Activism

We will focus on "sacred activism" as we begin this quarter and the beginning of a new decade.
Andrew Harvey in his article shares this quote by Robert Kennedy, " Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he or she sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." We can all make a difference with each act of kindness or consideration or holding someone accountable. However we must become current with what we hold true, what we value, where we want to direct our energy. We must be clear and honest with ourselves and know that we need continual renewal to stay with our intention.
Yoga helps us with that renewal, that "getting clear", that "right intention".
