Your Sacred Calling, Richard Harvey’s follow up to ‘Your Essential Self,’ will be published by Austin Macauley Publishers Ltd. (London) in late April 2017. This will be Richard’s eighth book and a compelling adjunct to support aspirants through the second stage of human awakening, as part of Richard’s 3-stage model of human awakening. Your Sacred Calling is an innovative and original book on preserving the sacred truths, rituals, and practices that connect us to our divine selves and empower us to grow through our personality to spiritual realization. The central theme of the book is that the sacred is fast disappearing from our world, not only due to the materialistic, non-spiritual culture, but through the influence of the spokespeople and teachers who purport to be speaking out for it. We have become immersed in spiritual half-truths, superficiality, and self-serving compassion. However, the book points the way through this mire of confusion and shows how to turn the adverse circumstances in which humanity presently finds itself into a precious opportunity for awakening.

The Arhat Project is a residential spiritual community for people seeking personal authenticity and Self-realization where the processes of personal inner enquiry and transformation are accelerated through a neo-sacred, engaged schedule and life-style of spiritual discipline and focus and psychological exploration and awakening. Based on the psycho-spiritual approach described in Richard Harvey’s book Human Awakening, particularly The Three Stages of Awakening, Arhat is a neo-spiritual living project where personal and spiritual development are intensified and potentized through communal life, group work, lectures and study, meditation, spiritual and sacred practices, and spiritual direction. If you are seriously interested in being a part of a residential community based on Richard Harvey's Three- Stage Model of Human Awakening (see http://www.therapyandspirituality.com/interview-stages-awakening.htmland http://www.therapyandspirituality.com/human-awakening.html) and you find yourself in the first, or possibly the second, stage of this model and you would be inspired and enthusiastic about establishing a core group for a spiritual community where personal and spiritual development is accelerated, intensified and potentized in a semi-monastic, secular structure of scheduled tasks and spiritual discipline, then please write via our ‘contact us’ page (http://www.centerforhumanawakening.com/Contact-Us.html).
Retreats for personal and spiritual growth are offered through the Founder's spiritual center, Cortijo Llano de Manzano. Whether you are looking at a specific issue or exploring your life's purpose, a personal retreat allows you the time and space for personal exploration, clarity and relaxation, personal growth, deepening insights and replenishment. A retreat gives you the opportunity to withdraw and turn inward, away from the world of ordinary everyday demands, pressures and responsibilities. On retreat you make time for issues that are calling to you from your inner world, to relax, recuperate and refresh yourself spiritually, physically, energetically, mentally and emotionally. Your retreat can be self-directed, or themed with guidance, skillful reflection and encouragement from our Founder. Retreats are available to individuals and couples.

Sacred Attention Therapy (SAT) Practitioners can work with you through the three stages of human awakening. See the list of SAT Therapists that are available to work with you on your journey of self-discovery, transformation into authenticity, and union with the source of consciousness.
Richard Harvey’s BLOGs and VLOGs are posted weekly. Both the BLOG and VIDEO BLOG are spontaneous, short pieces. The material is written or recorded in response to questions, remarks, and responses on spiritual matters that Richard has received or read during the week, interactions in the Sacred Attention Therapy Study Group, or simple inspiration with a feeling for the moment's revelation.
The Study Group brings together psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, complementary and alternative medical practitioners and therapists, counselors, coaches, healers, spiritual guides, spiritual teachers, students of spiritual and psychological growth and development, and more. We gather on our Linked In and Facebook Groups to build a community of SAT students and practitioners; provide a forum for raising awareness of SAT and for studying and practicing SAT; and facilitate the journey of self-discovery, transformation into authenticity, and union with the source of consciousness. The Study Group moderator posts questions and readings on Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week.
Please tell others about The Center for Human Awakening; please tell your friends, your therapists, your relatives, and any forward, progressive thinking people who could benefit from this work. In Richard Harvey’s forthcoming book[1] he states the case for us being "custodians of the future" in a world that is being debased as it loses touch with the genuine sacred-spiritual truths and ceremonies. If we do not act in all the ways that our true nature dictates we will become complicit in the destruction of the human consciousness of the inner worlds, responsible in whatever way for the degradation of the outer world, and ignorant and helpless in the insight that there is truly no separation between the inner and the outer, between us and them, and between the human and the divine. Thank you for being with us!
