Touch a starBe a light unto this world.
Sacredness and activism, held together.
The Sacred Awakening is a global movement rooted in the radical and transformative teachings of Jesus. It invites a shift in consciousness, away from separation, patriarchy, fear and hierarchy, toward love, justice and equality. Jesus was not about salvation: he came to usher us into a consciousness that already exists within us.
Awakening begins inside.
We face the fear and domination we carry, and heal what has never been allowed to heal. The Beatitudes become a daily practice, not a doctrine.
No one awakens alone.
Circles, pilgrimages and retreats where people of every faith, and none, learn, grieve, question and practise side by side.
Love, made visible.
Nonviolent action for justice and equality, rooted in spiritual practice and carried into our homes, our work and our communities.
Don’t just believe it. Live it.
These are the ways to live it: on pilgrimage, on retreat, or one to one.
