Beloved Friends and Family,
I am excited to announce that my old friend and cherished soul-brother, Andrew Harvey, is returning to Taos after a long absence and that we are going to be offering a daylong retreat on Saturday, June 22 from 10am-5pm called “RADIANT EMBODIMENT: Kabir, Lalla, & the Radical Invitation of the Poet-Mystics.”
If you have ever wished to hang out with Andrew in an intimate setting, this is a wonderful opportunity. In keeping with our shared passion for social change and environmental sustainability, Andrew and I will draw on the poetry of the mystics Kabir and Lalla as luminous guides to activating our inner lives in service to the human family and our Mother the Earth.
Special guests, Zen teacher and author Sean Murphy and renowned singer-songwriter Jenny Bird, will contribute their brilliance to this transformational gathering.
Andrew will also be giving a public talk, reading and book signing from his new translations of Kabir, Turn Me to Gold, on Friday, June 21, from 7-9pm at Unity of Taos.
Looking forward to celebrating the poetry of the soul with you in Taos.
Love,
Mirabai
RADIANT EMBODIMENT
Kabir, Lalla, & the Radical Invitation of the Poet-Mystics”
Saturday, June 22, 2019
10am-5pm
A 1-day Retreat with Andrew Harvey & Mirabai Starr
With special guests, Sean Murphy & Jenny Bird
Unity of Taos
69 Blueberry Hill Rd, Taos, NM 87571
In partnership with the Earth Herself, Humanity seems to be undergoing the pains of rebirth into a more integrated and radiant state of divine connectedness. In this gathering, we explore the sublime poetry and fierce wisdom teachings of two radiant pioneers of human evolution, Kabir and Lalla, one male and one female, who illumine a path to radical transfiguration of heart, mind, soul and body.
Seasoned mystic scholars Andrew Harvey and Mirabai Starr offer a passionate and balanced transmission of the heart of two awakened poets who embody the nourishment we need to navigate these tumultuous and ultimately transformational times. Meditation and Zen poetry with Sean Murphy and music with Jenny Bird add even more richness to this tapestry of teachings, deep dialog and stillness. As always with the wild mystic, Andrew Harvey, expect the unexpected!
