Alan Clements: author, activist, spirtual guide and retreat leader

Awakening World Dharma – The Yoga of Freedom
The Art and Activism of Liberation Through Living

As part of the ongoing Dharma Series: The Art of Engaged Living, we are honored to have Alan Clements, a former Buddhist monk and author of the internationally acclaimed book, The Voice of Hope: Conversations with Burma’s Nobel Peace Laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, offer a special presentation exploring Alan’s keynote topic:

World Dharma – an approach to spiritual transformation and higher human potentials that is unique to each individual, and evolved through the creative fusion of one’s yoga with meditation, activism, and spiritual practice.

At the heart of the World Dharma vision is what Alan calls “the yoga of freedom” or “finding liberation through living.” Alan is widely regarded as a spiritual maverick and one of the most innovative Dharma teachers today.

“World Dharma is about having the heart, awareness and wisdom to make every encounter an opportunity to awaken, liberate, and give; to love, touch and to be touched.”
– Alan Clements

A FUTURE TO BELIEVE IN – A GUIDE TO EMPOWERMENT,
REVOLUTION, ENVIRONMENTAL SANITY AND THE UNIVERSAL RIGHT TO BE FREE

“At a time when the contemporary spiritual landscape has become dangerously gentrified and domesticated,
Alan Clements restores us to our senses – wild and elemental. He summons the voices of those who, along
side him, have not traded their souls for the market-driven need to be tame or acceptable, and points us to the
wilderness of true, engaged, fiercely authentic awakening. This is why we are alive—to set freedom free, in
ourselves and for others, in every aspect of our lives from the most mundane daily task, to the most profound
political act.”
– Kelly Wendorf, author and editor Stories of Belonging
