Challenging the Divide; Connecting Inner and Outer Change

This week on Love (and Revolution) Radio, we interview Simon Dennis of the Center for Transformational Practice about how to integrate the inner and outer work of creating powerful, meaningful, and long-lasting change. We explore constructive action, direct action, contemplative practice, and self-reliance. Along the way, we shake up the notion that those processes of change can be separated from one another . . . and we challenge the idea that any one form is more important than the others.Sign up for our weekly email: http://www.riverasun.com/love-and-revolution-radio/About Our Guest:Simon Dennis is the Director of the Center for Transformational Practice in White River Junction, Vermont, where he lives with his partner Elizabeth, an eight year old, Una, and their cat, Spooky.
