Activate a Wellspring of Personal and Political Empowerment by Accessing the Hidden Capacities of Your Heart, the Perceptive Powers of Your Mind, and the Indomitable Strength of Your Spirit.
Would you like to infuse your life with wisdom, authenticity and a purpose greater than yourself?
Would you like to positively affect the world in an evolutionary way?
You’re not alone.
Concerned and committed people are rising up around the world, awakening to the necessity of growing spiritually AND increasing their capacity for effective public engagement.
This love revolution is taking many forms, from sacred activism to conscious business, all with an aim to manifest lasting cultural, political and personal change.
Becoming a love revolutionary means, first and foremost, awakening your revolutionary heart — which is a profound matter!
Our nervous systems are programmed for self-preservation when faced with danger or trouble, which means we need to contact a deeper identity and logic that can naturally source our consciousness, choices and actions in love, even during one of the most perplexing, challenging times in history.
Of course, we need to grieve for what has been lost, face the shock of the ugliness that has taken its place, and metabolize all the pain and despair we’ve experienced. That’s no minor task! But it’s the deep work through which we can prepare ourselves for a whole new relationship to life.
The Heart’s Deeper Intelligence
Virtually all of us on a spiritual path have been deeply moved by the unconditional love displayed by history’s greatest saints and sages, who almost universally are depicted as masters of the heart.
The awakened heart’s essential expression — unconditional, sacred love — is what we all most deeply appreciate, are most attracted to, and aspire to embody. It’s the sign of true spiritual maturity.
Science is increasingly confirming our spiritual traditions, showing us that there’s something akin to a brain within the human heart. Our heart’s deeper intelligence is real — and VERY important for our health, our relationships and our work.
In fact, an awakened heart is the most important bridge between the personal and the political — the wellspring from which a better life flows, giving us the capacity to meet difficult circumstances with clarity, compassion and transformative power.
Threats such as tyranny, climate change and social upheaval may be upsetting, but they can also be powerful catalysts for transformation. Especially when we relate to them with a revolutionary heart.
The truth is that both our culture and our planet are precariously vulnerable. We are being called to shift into this higher octave of our potential because the stakes have never been higher.
Your despair, outrage and concern are a sign of your care. That care expresses your soul’s depth. It is a sign that you are ripe to awaken a level deeper — and to start living your revolutionary heart.
That same despair and outrage, lived unconsciously, however, can be toxic. It can not only undermine your happiness, wellbeing and efficacy, it can infect your mind and behavior such that you become an unconscious agent of the very energies you wish to be free from.
It’s time to turn your upset into inspiration, despair into trust, and hopelessness into fierce resolve.
Ultimately, this journey is about contacting the “soul force” inside you — the same force that has animated some of history’s greatest heroes — to work for what is noble and right and good, and leave this planet a better place for generations to come.
Basic mindfulness practice might provide a respite of equanimity, but it’s not going to call forth the kind of soul force that is now required.
More powerful spiritual practices are required to give us the heart-force to stand in our freedom, truth and love — even when dark forces are descending and casting shadows on our future.
Summoning that kind of soul power is at the heart of how major change movements in history have, often against seemingly insurmountable odds, created lasting change and cultural advancement.
Transforming Your Relationship to Life Challenges
So how do we move beyond unproductive cycles of reactivity and reframe the perilous situations we’re experiencing as opportunities to grow and expand our capacity to create positive change?
We need to transform our relationship to these circumstances so we can recognize our challenges as opportunities we can embrace with clarity, love and joy (yes, joy!).
There’s real urgency for us to awaken to this next level of consciousness and take positive actionsto help our families, communities and countries navigate the dark territory that seems to lie ahead.
As you discover your very ground by awakening your heart intelligence, you become fully engaged in a way that attracts more grace, clarity and freedom.
You can then authentically and passionately serve the evolution of the whole… and emerge feeling lighter, freer and more empowered.

The Path of the Revolutionary Heart
During the Awakening the Revolutionary Heart training, integral visionary Terry Patten will show you how to empower yourself to make a radical shift into living from your integral heart intelligence, marrying your spiritual life with your energized engagement with life — including engaging as a citizen-participant.
As you come into your own, you’ll be better positioned to live your truth “out loud” and activate your higher intuition. You’ll discover how to move beyond the typical ebbs and flows of changing emotions to a steadier undercurrent of commitment to omnipresent, unconditional love.
You’ll see how your heart is a hidden portal to the wisdom of your soul that can guide your life, infusing everything you do with meaning, purpose and a bedrock of love that you can now only imagine.
You’ll discover how to pass through this portal with authentic humility, patience, wisdom and skill — developing a new capacity for what some mystics call “feeling intelligence.” This feeling intelligence involves embracing all the dimensions of love in all the areas of your life… from the blissful to the sublime to the heartbreaking.
The intelligent, revolutionary heart is your gateway to conscious evolution — functioning as the actual integrator of body, mind, spirit… and the larger field of global and cosmic intelligence.
It’s also your gateway to a different kind of citizenship.
As you understand how to awaken your revolutionary heart, you mobilize a new form of intelligence in your life — one that gives you access to more clarity and empathy, making you capable of knowing your true commitments and keeping them, equipping you to be a far more effective change agent.
You’ll feel Truth in a whole-bodied, visceral way. You’ll be able to navigate complex situations guided instinctively by tacit wisdom, sensitivity and intuitive knowing.
And you’ll begin to experience an ecstatic current of divine presence pouring through your body and mind in a way that magnetically attracts what you most want to create in your life — and what “It” wants to create with and through you.
Fully activating your revolutionary heart is like plugging into the universal electrical grid… the lights just “come on.” When you know, down to your toes, that you are all about love in this world, you can then shine that light on a world in urgent need of it, in many forms, on many levels.
The Importance of a Trusted Guide
One of the foremost integral thinkers and activists of our day, Terry is focusing on how we can each apply the wisdom of integrated, holistic practice to become what he calls “heart revolutionaries.”
Terry worked closely with the Institute of HeartMath, leading the team that developed its first heartrate variability device. He also partnered with Ken Wilber to translate and present his brilliant integral theory (used at the highest levels of business and government) in the breakthrough book, Integral Life Practice: A 21st-Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening. Even more importantly, Terry embodies 40 years of wisdom as a serious student and teacher of authentic spirituality.
In Terry’s 7-module Awakening Your Revolutionary Heart program, he’ll reveal the pathway for you toopen your heart, expand your understanding, anchor yourself in sacred wisdom, and contribute to cultural healing and transformation.
He’ll light the way into a rich dance of evolutionary inquiry and action that calls more of your spirit and soul forward in the midst of tumultuous times.
He’ll offer you a truly integral approach — one that honors and integrates all the major wisdom streams as one coherent whole.
Terry will provide you with both a map and a set of practices that marry body, mind and soul with the deep wisdom of the heart, enabling you to become a fiercely effective advocate for cultural evolution.
This highly experiential program is focused on cultivating the practices that bring your revolutionary heart alive — not just for a moment but for the rest of your life. By practicing these disciplines, you’llexperience your feeling life come alive in a wholly new and deeply fulfilling way.
During Awakening the Revolutionary Heart, you’ll:

What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
In this 7-module transformational journey, Terry will guide you through a series of insights, exercises, challenges and choices that will draw you into a very deep place within yourself where you can open your heart in a radical way that will profoundly affect your whole life.
Each session will build harmoniously upon the next so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to sustain your commitment to something larger than yourself that is actively changing your inner life and attracting undreamed-of opportunities and a higher quality of connection with others.
You’ll also experience the joy and support of committing to an evolutionary, love-based community, one that will help you metabolize old stories and traumas as well as encourage you in stepping forth as a pioneer of what’s possible. Having brothers and sisters on the journey is a profoundly important component of accessing the deeper realities of the heart.
Module 1: Connecting With Our Heart’s Intelligence, Strength & Commitment
It’s easy to trick the mind, but the heart knows better. In the first session of this 7-module journey, we’ll set a sacred container and choose to come together in a sacred community of practice, dedicated to living from our heart’s deepest wisdom.
Through a series of experiential processes and epiphanies, we’ll support each other in reawakening our authentic gratitude, which naturally quiets the anxious mind and brings us back to empathy and confidence. We’ll become more fully present and open up new psychic space, inviting forward the wisdom and joy of our integral heart, which unites the highest intelligence of our whole being. We’ll invite the heart to raise its voice and to empower our whole way of being in the world.
In this module, you’ll:
- Access the wisdom of your heart through practices of the heart
- Discover what your heart most cares about and appreciates
- Drop into your gratitude — for life, the world, your freedoms, the people and animals you love, and those you will love
- Connect with the regenerative power of care and appreciation — and learn to empower yourself at the heart
- Discover and explore the amazing practice of trans-rational prayer
- Begin to live based on recognizing that love is the only engine of survival

Module 2: Facing Our Denial, Allowing Our Pain & Grief & Finding Our Truth
In this session we’ll face what we have avoided, and discover new strength. In the process we’ll allow, acknowledge, own and honor the pain we carry for all that is hurting and angry and unhealthy in our world. By daring to experience our grief, we can encounter a new source of moral intelligence and compassion. We’ll begin to discover the immensity of our heart-mind. What had isolated us in private anguish now opens outward and delivers us into the wider reaches of what Thich Nhat Hanh has called “inter-being.”
In this module, you’ll:
- Examine what we and our country lost in 2016
- Bravely face the dark potentials of our ecological predicament
- Notice the pervasive strategies of denial and avoidance that surround us and rob our authentic power
- Recognize how you’re affected by our collective attack of anxiety and anger
- Explore how the five stages of grief are being enacted all around you, and find your way to the amazing dynamic energy of true acceptance
- Discover the powerful humble work you can do, expressing the higher wisdom of the bodhisattva
- Awaken your natural ability to be strengthened and empowered rather than drained by empathy and grief
Module 3: The Alchemy Where Grief Becomes Inspiration
Healthy grieving weeps for a time, intensely, both alone and in community. And then there comes an end to the grieving period, and life goes on. The life force rises, and qualities like faith, hope and charity are called into play. In this session we’ll engage the alchemy through which our shock, grief and loss can be metabolized and transmuted into deep trust and love of the wild processes of life and death, darkness and light, loss and renewal. We’ll begin to trust what is, and magnify the irrepressible love and life that are our deepest nature.
In this module, you’ll:
- Experience the grieving process among a community of sisters and brothers — and then emerge, purified and wise
- Awaken to the life energy that is powering you — the raw impulse that always wants to keep living and evolving, no matter what
- Conduct that energy so it can manifest as resilience, humor, determination, sass, spunk and playfulness
- Know your own True North to be love, not reactivity; health, not disease; wholeness, not fragmentation, integrity, not corruption
- Discover that the deeper your losses, the more defiantly unreasonable your happiness can be
- Become the health of the body politic — both its immune system and its healthy vibrant life force
Module 4: The Anatomy of an Intervention
We are each participants in the patterns of our world, including its dysfunctions. For it to change, each of us must change. If we recognize our current crises deeply, perhaps we can “hit bottom” and begin something truly new. The process of addiction recovery is a useful metaphor. It often begins with an intervention.
Family and friends sit the patient down and help him or her recognize that things must change — now. With real recognition, plus support, a former addict can start a new life, calling on a higher power to partner with their personal choice. Instead of letting bad news torment and upset us, turning us into agents of that reactive energy, we can make a radically different choice. In this session we’ll embrace this recognition and find our “Yes” to the profound wholeness that can reshape our lives and our world.
In this module, you’ll:
- Allow your shock to function as a spiritual initiation
- Grasp the meaning of current events as a “calling” — a conscription by the higher power of the heart
- Discover that the practice of wholeness is the practice of recognizing the ongoing tendency toward reaction and contraction
- Find a genuine “Yes” to being alive in this moment, recognizing that in a time of fragmentation, reaction and corruption, it is truly revolutionary to choose wholeness, health and integrity
- Open to the possibility of standing in wholeness as a magnetic call to others, recognizing citizenship as a sacred calling
- See the opportunity to renounce your identity as a soft and entitled consumer in favor of being an aspiring citizen of a new republic of the heart

Module 5: Joining the Integral Revolution
The last thing we need is more antagonism, violence, or the disruption of civil order, and yet this is an unmistakably revolutionary time, one that calls for our participation. The pace of evolution has never been steady. The fossil record shows long periods of stability punctuated by times when the whole ecology suddenly transforms.
Those periods must have been wild, revolutionary transitions. The old structures became unstable, and creatures were transfigured as they tried out new ways of being. In our time, pressures for such truly revolutionary changes are building in consciousness, culture and society. In this session we’ll discover how we can participate consciously in an entirely benign integral revolution of the being — following the examples of Gautama, Socrates and Jesus.
In this module, you’ll:
- Recognize the revolutionary struggle in your own heart between the tendencies toward contraction, fragmentation and corruption on one hand, and the impulse toward expansion, wholeness and integrity on the other
- Understand how that same dynamic is visible in every relationship, family, group, organization, community, faction, ethnic group, religion, party, state and nation
- Awaken to the kinds of transformation that you can participate in spiritually
- Awaken to the nature of an integral, or spiritual revolution, and discover the practical steps you can take to practice it every day
- Clarify the critical shifts in your attitude and way of being that will enable you to renew and purify your intention many times each day
- Learn about the original teaching of Jesus on kenosis, or becoming empty
- Be inspired by the recognition that our truest spiritual intention is ultimately revolutionary, open-ended and lifelong
Module 6: Striding Deeper Into the World
Sustainable activism deepens, connects and sustains the soul of the activist. As we transcend our exclusive focus on ourselves, we need not abandon ourselves. In fact, we have to “put our own oxygen mask on first.” Thus, as we stride deeper into the world, we must drop deeper into our connection with our source of peace and inspiration, and with each other.
This requires relating very skillfully to political news and turning our activism into an inspiring spiritual practice. In this session, we’ll unpack the lived experience of making that a reality in our lives.
In this module, you’ll:
- Discover how to build the inner muscles that enable you to be nourished by the outer work
- Find the peace to accept that our world has changed, and that the rest of our lives will be a marathon,which requires a very different orientation than a sprint
- Be inspired by a practical understanding of the implications of the Bodhisattva Vow so that it guides wise choices that balance self-care, relationships and care for the world
- Find out how to penetrate the common false ways of seeing current events that hemorrhage your energy
- Understand how to relate to bodacious “impossible” goals so that they’re a source of ongoing inspiration rather than discouragement while you live in the gap
- Explore how to engage the three essential domains of sacred activism
- Understand how to see through the surfaces of events with a “spiritual X-ray vision” that allows you to take strong positions without putting people out of your heart
Module 7: Becoming True Friends — to Ourselves, Each Other & Our World
An integral revolution is a revolution of love, under the guidance of our deepest heart intelligence. And that radiates from a sweet spot in our being. It is the place where two dimensions of our being intersect: (1) the uplift of our humble reverent devotion to all that is sacred, and (2) our grounded practical care, compassion and courage on behalf of all our relations.
Then we can show up with our friends in ways that are truly vulnerable and also spiritually fragrant. We can reduce their loneliness and bolster everything that’s best in them. In this module, we’ll locate and exercise the practice of such true friendship.
In this module, you’ll:
- Understand how to take strength from the fact that you need others, and they need you
- Explore how to forgive and embrace the flawed humanity of your friends, family and self while still challenging yourself and those you love to be your best selves
- Consider how integral practice ultimately goes beyond mere “self-help” into “each-other-help”
- Discover how to grow into a capacity for deeper friendship
- Find your way into shared activism with heart friends
- Examine the five key principles of evolutionary dialogue
- Find your way to the gate of a new republic of the heart
