Sacred Activism – Trusting the Dark–Finding Faith When the Path is Unclear
April 27 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
Learn to find faith when the path is unclear and navigate the unknown as a fertile ground for new beginnings
How can our spiritual work serve the transformation of the world we live in? How do we navigate grief, anger, and hope in times of division?
Join Beth Hedquist and Cibele Salviatto for a new ongoing series exploring the intersection between spirituality and courageous action grounded in love. Together, we will inquire into how our inner patterns—both conscious and unconscious—mirror and sustain the collective systems we seek to change.
What We Will Explore
We will weave together the wisdom of the Pathwork Lectures, sacred texts, body work, and personal sharing to cultivate:
• Systemic Awareness: Seeing how we personally and collectively “collude with the system.”
• Emotional Resilience: Learning to stay engaged without burning out.
• Love-Based Action: Tools to act from clarity rather than reactivity or despair.
• Community: A supportive space of like-minded souls.
This Month: Trusting the Dark
In this session, we embrace the mystery of the unknown. We will explore how to find faith when the path ahead is unclear, and the old maps no longer serve us.
Together, we will practice navigating the darkness not as a void, but as the fertile soil of creation—learning to trust the cycles of rest and gestation that are essential to true transformation.
