LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Imagine an evening of spiritual cross training: Committed citizens gather with the intention to shift the way of engaging with the world from fear and judgment to grace and understanding.

The celebration of Stephen Dinan’s book Sacred America, Sacred World at the beautiful ABC Home in NYC exemplified that a discourse beyond borders of political affiliation, gender, race, age, and religion is not only possible but a luminous pathway toward America’s flourishing.

As evolutionaries who uplift and transcend, rather than revolutionaries who overthrow and remain on the same plane, we have the unique opportunity to embody and cherish the mandala of diversity that animates America. Political yoga, then, that’s fed by transpartisan approaches to current crises offers solutions to calcified modes of operations.

May this serve as inspiration and aspiration to you and your community. Enjoy this introduction to the principles that rekindle our connection to America’s sacred nature. Meet Stephen Dinan, Grandma Nancy, Rabbi David Ingber, Dr. Cari Jackson, and Kristin Hoffmann:
