Channel: Radical Spirit

Stephen Dinan

The Radical Spirit channel explores the meeting point between consciousness and societal change, highlighting leaders who exemplify spiritual depth and passionate engagement in public processes, as well as offering practical steps to engage change work in life-enhancing ways.

We are especially focused on bridging between different evolutionary movements such as sustainability and spiritual practice. Our preference is to look at the leading edge – how is a more integral version of spiritual activism emerging in a next generation of leaders? How are these leaders engaging the public sphere?

Ultimately, Radical Spirit offers a non-dual perspective that sees our spiritual work and our world work as inextricably linked. When societal change work is undertaken with reverence and compassion instead of mere frustration, old dichotomies can dissolve and all parties’ truest interests can be fully honored. Old versions of activism rest upon antagonism, whereas spiritual activism seeks a greater wholeness that includes those who were once opponents.
