Description
Have you hungered for a complete approach to spiritual awakening — one that fuses Heaven and Earth, masculine and feminine, stillness and action, into one
alchemical path?
Are you yearning for the truth and willing to go through whatever changes are necessary to stand as the sacred, powerful being that you are?
Then you’re are ready for mystical scholar Andrew Harvey, who is offering you nothing less than a synthesis of the spiritual gold from the highest teachings of the East and West, North and South.
They all point to a profound destination — the birth of the “Divine Human.” In this new stage of our evolution, we experience a unification of our highest and lowest natures,, alchemized together in our hearts and expressed in sacred action.
This is not an abstract idea, but rather a higher calling for all of us who are awakening and committed to being positive change agents.
To avert planetary calamities, Andrew believes it will take many, many “Divine Humans” to create a new template for sacred action and enlightened service, sourced from a deep divinization of our bodies, minds and souls.
We are ALL co-creators of this new template. Together, we’re forging a path beyond what we’ve known, guided by our great spiritual ancestors and inspired by our pioneering colleagues.
While it is a shared exploration, Andrew Harvey gives voice and vision to this path as perhaps no one else ever has.
That is because he is no armchair teacher — he has steeped himself in the world’s wisdom traditions, writing more than 40 books that harvest and synthesize the gems from Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism, Shamanism and divine feminine traditions. And, he has passionately undertaken his own profound, liberating initiation into birthing the Divine Human within himself.
And now, he’s ready to share the full expression of this new synthesis.
Last year, for the first time, Andrew led this unprecedented offering, guiding hundreds of individuals on a journey toward an intimate experience with the Divine. This course was so completely transformative, Andrew is leading it again… and this time, he’s adding even more practices, exercises and mentoring.
I loved this course! I was continually amazed by the breadth of Andrew’s knowledge and the depth of his understanding. I feel my foundation is more integrated, more stable, deeper and more alive. I am excited to
see what the future will bring.
– Donna Campbell, Santa Rosa, CA
In the Living the Divine Human training, he builds upon the realizations of the great mystics of the past and shows how they all point toward the unification of multiple wisdom streams, which together illuminate our way forward to a truly divinized life.
In this powerful course, Andrew will show you exactly how to remove the limitations on your spiritual growth and walk a path that is at once heavenly and humble, enlightened and embodied, passionate and full of life.
This pathway leads into the heart of divinized sexual relationships, transformed relationships with the Earth and with animals, a new relationship with God/Goddess, and a new kind of sacred evolutionary movement for change.
It is both fiery and tender at the same time.
Andrew is an electrifying, heart-opening teacher who understands the transformation into our divine humanity in a unique and liberating way. He draws us into a mature and rigorous relationship with the Divine.
His words can sometimes be bracing or confrontational before they then melt into the tender, ecstatic tones of one who is deeply, passionately in love with God. He does not merely whisper sweet nothings in your ear, but actually shakes you awake into the unconditional love that is your birthright and your destiny.
If you are sincere in your hunger for divine truth, and committed to both your spiritual growth and sacred service, this course was designed for YOU.
It builds on four decades of Andrew’s profound mystical scholarship, as well as his most sublimely shattering spiritual openings, to give you a clearly defined map and a potent set of tools that can — if you truly harness them — propel you through the birth canal into a new way of life.
That new way of life will not be all sweetness and light. It will have its rigors, intensities and challenges. But you will be given practices to meet those challenges with strength and tenderness, fully rooted in the awe and wonder of the universe, riding ever-widening waves of grace.
During the 12 modules, Andrew will cut through surface truths to liberate the magma at your core and, in its liberation, allow you to discover fresh ground on which you can stand for the next stage of your spiritual journey.
The Importance of Embodying Your
Divine Human
We are blessed to be alive at one of the most amazing moments in history, when all that was once hidden is now being revealed, including the esoteric truths of mystics from around the world.
Humanity is awakening to who we truly are; at once finite and infinite, matter and spirit, human and divine.
And yet, as the veils are slowly lifted, the chasm also widens between those of us who are “waking up” and those of us that choose to continue to remain unconscious. The symptoms of that “sleep” are horrifying: consumerism, waste and war creating carnage in human society and our natural ecosystems.
We are fast approaching the crossroads of our destiny. Many believe that this decade is a crucial, turning-point before we hit systemic breakdown.
If we continue on the trajectory of mindless materialism we’re currently on, we will face the potential destruction of ourselves and Mother Earth.
However, if we can find the courage to live fully as Divine Humans, we will have a precious, rare opportunity to create this world in a wholly new way.
Living the Divine Human offers a foundational, even essential, set of teachings for seeing THIS planet as divine — given to us to steward and cultivate peace, communal prosperity, health and justice.
It is a path based on Oneness and seeing ourselves as a sacred family. It is a path of blessing, wholeness and embodiment.
It is a love-filled antidote to the soul-deadening, destructive greed, which holds enormous sway over our culture, our businesses, our politics and our minds.
Our collective crises are now leading us into an intensely personal and collective rite of passage that requires us to face and heal our shadow in order to reclaim our full divinity and open to this higher octave of possibility.
If you can consciously embrace this transformative journey, you not only transmute your suffering but fulfill the ultimate purpose of evolution — which is to bring Heaven to Earth and birth God in humankind.
That is what awaits you on the other side of becoming a Divine Human.
The Importance of a Sacred Guide
The good news is that Andrew Harvey has dedicated his life to navigating this passage and making the most powerful teachings and practices available to those of you who are ready to receive it.
He is the prolific author of over 40 books and spiritual classics, including The Essential Mystics, The Son of Man and The Heart of Yoga. He has a remarkable gift for opening our eyes and peeling away the falsehoods to reveal the wild, liberating truth at our core.
On a personal level, he’s been through the fires of the inner “Dark Night,” the heart-opening illuminations — and the intense disillusionments that have cracked him open, bringing him to his knees again and again.
Andrew knows the terrain of the birthing of the Divine Human in a way that few others do. Because of his scholarly depth and personal experience, there is perhaps no more articulate, passionate and perceptive teacher to lead others on this journey.
And that is why we are so excited to offer — exclusive to The Shift Network — the groundbreaking course, Living the Divine Human, with him.
It promises to be one of the most exciting, no-holds-barred trainings that Andrew has ever shared in a virtual setting. This sacred offering from his heart to yours is a chance to harvest the bounty of a lifetime of mystical practice and rigorous scholarship to accelerate your experience of incarnating more and more divinity.
Living the Divine Human has been created for heart-centered, open-minded, globally-concerned seekers, like you, to begin on a profound, life-changing odyssey together.
The journey will help you clear away lingering falsehoods that have distorted so many religious (and New Age) traditions. It will lead you instead into profound openings, mind-expanding recognitions, and the next steps on your path to transformation of body, mind and soul.
You’ll have the chance to unlock the innermost, esoteric secrets of divinization and receive the hidden truths, liberating methods and profound blessings of not only Andrew, but of many extraordinary mystics.
The goal is to pioneer and practice a 21st century embodiment of the Divine: grounded in sacred action, steeped in wisdom and illuminated by a sacred fire.
The only requirement to enter this journey is a commitment in your heart to walk the path with real dedication, as the course is for those with a powerful love for this world and a sincere desire to become an emissary of the Divine.

Module 1: The Birth of the Divine Human
Drawn from his own experience with major mystical traditions as well as the work of evolutionary mystics such as Sri Aurobindo and Father Bede Griffiths, Andrew Harvey will present his vision of our world crisis as the birthing ground of a new kind of human being — the Divine Human. He will show that this birth springs from both an unflinching look at the extremes of the crisis and a celebration of our essential divine identity.
He will lay out an overview of the four essential streams of divine wisdom that now have to be fused to make this birth possible — the shamanic, the transcendent, the tantric and sacred activism.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- A deeper understanding of the Divine Evolutionary plan
- A vision of the dance of opposites, through which this plan works
- An overview of the evolutionary worldview of the major mystical traditions
- The essence of the living experience of divine transformation of Sri Aurobindo and Bede Griffiths and what you can learn from them
- An initiatory understanding of the 4 essential streams of evolutionary wisdom and how they work together in your transfiguration
Featured Practice: The “I Am” practice of divine identity from Ramana Maharshi that leads to realization of Self
Module 2 Part 1: The Shamanic Ground
Drawing on his own experiences of shamanic initiation — in Ecuador with an Amazonian shaman, with the white Lions of Timbatati in South Africa, and with aboriginal elders in Australia — Andrew will unfold his vision of the necessity of honoring the shamanic vision and its wisdom as the grounds of divine evolution. Special stress will be placed on four laws of this wisdom; the law of interdependence with the creation; the law honoring the rhythms of creation; the law of celebration of creation and of life as sacred, and the law of taking responsibility for honoring these laws. He will go into detail about the Aboriginal vision of Kanyini, and he will also show the shadow of shamanic wisdom — it’s overly strong fusion with nature and lack of complete knowledge of transient origin.
In this module, you will:
- Experience a deep awareness of the necessity of shamanic wisdom for our survival.
- Develop a clear understanding of the 4 laws that this shamanic wisdom reveals.
- Receive insights into the sacred equality of the creation of life.
- Gain an expansive vision of the splendor and sanity of aboriginal knowledge.
- Receive a profound understanding of the shadow of shamanic wisdom.
Featured Practice: An Australian aboriginal practice to experience directly the sacred life in all things, realizing that all the world is “looking back” at you with eyes of divine compassion
Module 2 Part 2: The Shamanic Ground
Building on the teachings in Part 1, Andrew goes deeper with the material through discussion, experiential exercises and Q&A.
Module 3 Part 1: The Celebration of the Transcendent Revelation
Andrew Harvey will celebrate the revolution of the Axial Age; its breakthrough to living knowledge of divine origin. Drawing on the great Axial pioneers — the sages of the Upanishads, the Buddha and Lao Tzu — he will show how this knowledge of transcendent origin gives human beings a radical new level of divine truth and power. He will also explore the shadow of transcendental revelation — a dedication to transience, a devaluation of the creation, body, sexuality and relationship, and an over emphasis on human uniqueness.
In this module, you will:
- Receive a deep understanding of the radical breakthrough of the Axial Age.
- Open to a vision of how this breakthrough enlightens the shadow of shamanic wisdom.
- Deepen your awareness of how the vision of transcendental identity opens up new powers for humanity.
- Gain deeper knowledge of the interconnection of Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism — and its evolutionary meaning.
- Become aware of the cost of the shadow of the Axial Age.

Module 4 Part 1: Tantric Revelation
In this module, Andrew will transmit his vision of how the Tantric Revelation of later Hinduism, Mahayana Buddhism and Christianity corrected the addiction to transcendence inherent in the Axial Age. Special emphasis will be given to Jesus and the revolutionary fusion in his work and life of the shamanic, transient and tantric knowledge of the Divine, and how this fusion opens up a path of transfiguration for all human beings.
In this module, you will:
- Learn how the Tantric Revelation depends on a dynamic vision of the motherhood of GOD and reveals the five great passions that must be combined to integrate this completely:
- – The passion of GOD as mother
- – The passion of creation as the embodied mother
- – The passion of compassion for all sentient beings
- – The passion of tantric relationships
- – The passion for radical action to honor the mother’s laws
- Gain clarity about the true main shadow of Tantra — license in the name liberation.
- Receive a deeper understanding about the temptation to use the powers that Tantra gives for personal glory, and not the service of humanity.

Module 4 Part 2: Tantric Revelation
Building on the teaching in Part 1, Andrew goes deeper with the material through discussion, experiential exercises and Q&A.
Module 5 Part 1: The Transfiguration of the Body & the Birth of the Divine Androgyne
In this module, we really bring together the streams and plunge deep into the transformation of the body by unifying the masculine and feminine sides of our nature. Many of the great spiritual teachers embodied both masculine and feminine characteristics, and it is in the full embrace that we are born into a new kind of wholeness and open the pathway to a divinized body and divinized sexual relationships.
In this module, you’ll:
- Develop an expanded range of understanding of the sacred masculine from Sufism, Mahayana Buddhism, the Cult of Dionysus in Greek Mysticism and the complex vision of Shiva and Shaivism.
- Experience deeper mystical practices to connect with the Divine Mother.
- Develop an expanded capacity for deep forgiveness of oneself and others
- Develop practices to heal the imbalance in the individual and collective psyche.
- See how the 5 crucial shadows of our global crisis align, dovetail and collude to keep our world crisis going.

Building on the teaching in Part 1, Andrew goes deeper with the material through discussion, experiential exercises and Q&A.
Module 6 Part 1: Sacred Activism
As you fuse the four sacred streams into one and begin to birth the Divine Human in you, it becomes more apparent and imperative to engage in right actions to help our world evolve, heal, and manifest its glory. The Sacred Activist marries the mystic’s passion for God with the activist’s passion for justice and out of the two, a holy “third fire” is born in which you become a living flame of love in action.
In this module, you will:
- Learn the art and discipline of sacred activism — awakened love and service in action.
- Discover your Buddha heart filled with holy power as an inner form of sacred activism that you can access when dealing with difficult people and explosive energies.
- Understand the evolutionary re-engagement necessary to complete the birth of your divine humanity.
- Go beyond the pursuit of personal enlightenment to discover how you can co-create an awakened culture and society.
- Experience powerful practices to awaken and embody more of your innate divinity through focused prayer and action that flows from your heart.

Module 7: The Way Forward
In the 7th module, Andrew will offer the way forward by integrating the four streams of tantric, transcendent, shamanic and sacred activist transmission. He will address the way forward through whatever may now unfold as the potential birth of the Divine Human in you.
