May you feel held and resourced in this work of freeing ourselves and others from suffering. Let The New Saints guide you into this work of becoming an effective agent of justice, peace, and change. In this book, I share personal stories, traditional teachings, and instructions for contemplative and somatic practices, so that you have resources for self-exploration and wise action.
We must draw upon our inner fierceness and compassion to create a sustainable spiritual practice that can serve others and the planet, and embody the virtues of New Saints. Our era calls for saints who are from this time and place, who speak the language of this moment, and who integrate both social and spiritual liberation. In these times of apocalypse where the truth is being revealed to us and the status quo of society is crumbling, we must show up with a fierce dedication to getting free.
These saints have inspired me as they have likely inspired you.
