Good day,
Our current political system is often polarized, dysfunctional and
corrupted by corporate interests.
It’s easy to feel disheartened about
creating the kind of shifts that are so desperately needed in our world
today.
What we need is a path to social change that is not only effective,
but also sees beyond party lines and is built upon shared values that
unite us all.
That’s why I want to invite you to The Shift Network’s free online Politics of Love & Justice Summit, May 19-21, hosted by Rabbi Michael Lerner and Cat Zavis.
Join 25+ of the planet’s most visionary spiritual leaders and soul-powered activists – including people like Marianne Williamson, Charles Eisenstein, Larry Rasmussen, David Korten and others – who are sharing how we can effectively integrate spirituality and activism to build a sustainable, caring world.
Can you imagine a world where all governments, legislation,
businesses and schools use an approach of compassion, generosity, love
and justice for humanity and the planet?
With The Politics of Love & Justice Summit, you’ll join
an emerging wave of people who are co-creating a new “bottom line” – so
that all economic, political and social institutions, practices and
behaviors are judged not only on efficiency and productivity, but also
to the extent that they promote love and care, kindness and generosity, ethical behavior, social and economic justice and ecological sustainability... and enhance our capacity to treat others with respect and dignity.
During this exciting event, you’ll discover profound insights, wisdom and powerful practices for
bridging divides, infusing more Spirit into social change – and
fostering these global standards based in loving kindness, ethical
behavior and reverence for the sacred in all life.
With guidance from the most remarkable and visionary pioneers in spirituality and activism in the world, there’s no way you can’t come away from The Politics of Love and Justice Summit
deeply inspired, transformed, informed – and part of the the next wave
of what’s possible for our planet and its beautiful inhabitants.
You’ll be exposed to a vision of a world based on love and justice...
and have the opportunity to connect with other folks who are infusing
those values in their work for social change and transformation.
If you consider yourself a global citizen and are concerned by the
many crises that face us, this is an essential – even imperative –
conference for you to attend. Join us to drink deep of wisdom and bring
together the love in your soul with your passion for a truly just world.
All the best,
Joseph Giove and the Common Passion Core Team

PS – Here are what people are saying about the hosts of The Politics of Love & Justice Summit, Rabbi Michael Lerner and Cat Zavis:
Lerner is the most significant prophetic public intellectual and spiritual leader of our generation.
– Cornel West
[Cat] combines a unique quality of passion and strength in which
she can play an unequivocating truth-sayer role with vast skills in
hearing the depths of needs that are at hand in which compassion and
understanding are wonderfully present.
– Wes T., NVC Trainer
Lerner's rare and eloquent voice goes beyond left/right political
dichotomies, and will help progressives overcome their fear of
spirituality and will challenge spiritual people to avoid the danger of
narcissistic self-indulgence.
– Jim Wallis, Sojourner Magazine
Presented by a team [Rabbi Michael Lerner and Cat Zavis]
unsurpassed in experience, skill and wisdom, [their] densely-enriched,
spiritual activist training immersed me in a theoretically rigorous,
practically sensible, emotionally deep, spiritually enlivening communal
event that stiffened my resolve and strengthened my confidence in my
ability to meaningfully contribute to the creation of the caring world
we long for.
– Philip Boche, Activist, Lawyer
Lerner is a rare voice of sanity and intelligence in a nation
where our moral values have been corrupted by the greed of the market
and the ambitions of empire. He gives eloquent voice to our yearning for
a union of the spiritual and the rational in the quest for peace and
justice.
– Howard Zinn
