Are there higher “stages” to spiritual friendship?
Can next-stage friendships become our superpower amidst our current crises?
One of our key leverage points in this fragmenting world, increasingly plagued by delusion and misinformation, is our capacity for radical generosity and spiritual friendship.
In deep spiritual friendship, we stabilize each other by being clear, present, and open — trusting that “we are wiser than me.” We enlighten each other by showing up with grateful generosity and refusing to put anyone out of our hearts.
How can we begin to make a real beneficial difference amidst our cultural madness?
For one thing, we can keep “going sane.” We can travel together through both joy and grief. We can approach each moment humbly. We can listen in a way that evokes others’ best wisdom.
By practicing together our collective depth of presence, sanity, goodwill and care can become a source of stability and wisdom in the lives of everyone we touch.
In this live, online 75-minute teaching event, Terry Patten shares new insights about our cultural challenges and what is required to create truly dynamic spiritual friendships and practice communities that can outshine whatever madness may arise.

Questions that Terry addresses include:
- How do we find our deep “spiritual friends” who are humble and open, and who can meet us at the heart amidst whatever craziness arises?
- What kind of “spiritual friendship” is required at this critical stage in the human journey? How can we stabilize a new way of being with one another and magnify its impact through our collective practice?
- How can our depth of presence and curiosity add a valuable buffer against the collective manic episodes we see happening in our world?
- How can the practice of gratefulness — celebrating the gift of this very moment, no matter the circumstances — blossom naturally into radical generosity?
- Which experimental practices and ways of relating might be most likely to catalyze the dynamic spiritual friendship and coherence that our moment requires?
