Anxiety, stress, and depression are on the rise—impacting all ages, genders, cultures, and countries. This trend is fueled by our inability to befriend our grief, and our lack of knowledge around how to dance with grief. But this book can help tremendously!\nTears Are the Source of Your Passion encapsulates the collective wisdom of Chris Saade and Mandy McMullen Bird, M.A., LCMHC, and their powerful 60+ years of combined experience counseling and coaching hundreds of clients through the grieving process and their dances with depression back to a deeper authenticity, creative passion, health, and wellness. 
Upending the traditional perspective of grief, Saade and Bird espouse that grief is ultimately a paradoxical treasure of life—we can mine it to be a gift of heart and soul. They demonstrate how your wounds can actually become wombs holding important keys to your authenticity and life-calling. The specific and concrete steps laid out within these pages are designed to give you hope and to offer tools to relate to grief and anxiety as they surface throughout your life-journey.\nThis ingenuitive model celebrates grief as an integral part of our humanity. Through the model, hope and dignity bring some much-needed openings to a universally difficult part of our human journey. By tackling the profound intricacies of authenticity, passion, paradox, global connection, solidarity, and the heart, Saade and Bird lay out a path of self-exploration, self-birthing, and peace.\n"This brilliant, down-to-earth book is precisely what the world needs right now. Rich with tools and wisdoms, it will support you in your efforts to both heal and to empower your steps forward. Grief repressed, is grief that destroys. Grief honored, is grief that liberates. This book will help you to transform your grief into the gold at its roots." ~Jeff Brown, Author of Grounded Spirituality and An Uncommon Bond\n"This is an essential read. As someone who has lived the words in this book, I so deeply and wholeheartedly vouch for the wisdom, truth, and necessity of all the gems shared here. The insights and understandings found in this book are essential for the healthy, whole, and vibrant lives we all so yearn to live." ~Chelan Harkin, Author of Susceptible to Light\n"What is being offered within these pages is precisely what Rumi knew to be possible… a guide to reach the gold through your grief… a path forward when you are suffering, aching with pain that seems as though it is devouring you… Seldom, in all my years of pursuing and championing sacred activism, do I encounter teams as dynamic, dedicated, and willing to dive deep into excavating the heartbreak of the world as the team of Saade and Bird!" ~Andrew Harvey, Internationally acclaimed poet, novelist, translator, mystical scholar, and spiritual teacher\n"I’ve learned so very much about the power of grief through both Chris and Mandy. As hopelessness is at unprecedented levels, especially from the impact of the pandemic and racial unrest around the world, now more than ever we must learn to harness our grief to fuel our passion for positive change. When we dive deep into our despair, feel it deeply, and learn from it, we can turn our greatest pains into our most significant work. Chris and Mandy give us a roadmap for how to turn our tears into our greatest triumphs. They have certainly done so for me, and it led to my global advocacy for teaching the 'how to' of hope." ~ Kathryn Goetzke, Creator of Hopeful Minds and Hopeful Cities, Author of The Biggest Little Book About Hope, Host of The Hope Matrix Podcast, and Chief Mood Officer at The Mood Factory

Motivational

In this profoundly uplifting book, authors and sacred activists Andrew Harvey and Chris Saade call us to the next paradigm in human relations: love connections that are solidly grounded in individual authenticity, and passionately focused on service and solidarity. Rather than limiting their gaze to each other,partners are invited to take their focus outward, channeling their energies toward those causes that both unite them and transform the world we live in.With love as the fuel for inspired action, the relationship becomes a homage to sacred purpose, finding its deeper meaning in its efforts to positively influence the planet. There are many books that invite us to focus on love relationship- its perils and delights, its shadow and light- as the place where meaningful change happens, and there are others- including some potent ones written by these two authors individually- that invite us to unite our individual spiritual paths (sacred purpose, callings, and the like) with benevolent action, but this is the first book that focuses on the next step:the bringing together of sacred activism and love relationship. Evolutionary Love Relationships contains a powerful vision that offers humanity a path to coupledom, not as a privatized escape or preoccupation, but a path to evolve into dedicated activists whose combined purpose is to utilize their resources to help and sustain the planet, and which does not forsake but includes the pleasure of personal fulfilment between the bonded pair. They can enjoy the fullness of divine human love in the depths of their own personal relationship, supporting each other's authenticity, but also enjoy it in the ways that those healing depths make them powerful and strong and lucid and vibrant enough to go out into the world and pour their gifts out for the transformation of the planet. What is really at stake is this: If we continue to have a vision of relationship as purely personal, purely private, and something that we cultivate only for our own pleasure, we will keep feeding the tragic narcissism that is now ravaging the planet on every level. The real thrust and purpose and divine importance of relationship is to give us the fuel to take on the world,to give us the passion to embrace the causes of justice, to give us the energy to keep on pouring ourselves out for the transformation of the planet. With a foreword by An Uncommon Bond author Jeff Brown, this inspiring book shows us the way to turn our love relationship into a prayer for world transformation. And not just a passive prayer, but a prayer in action, impassioning the world with a bonfire of sacred and benevolent activism that cannot be stopped. This prayer may well save us.

In his work as a spiritual teacher interacting with seekers and activists from around the world, Chris Saade has witnessed a remarkable recent phenomenon: an emerging wave of spirituality that is socially and globally engaged in the pursuit of justice, earth care, and solidarity. Saade calls this movement "second wave spirituality," and in this book he maps out the cutting-edge ideas that are fueling this burgeoning wave of engaged spirituality. He challenges us to rise to our spiritual task and join the millions of all faiths who are awakening to the suffering and social struggles of all living beings. According to Saade, second wave spirituality holds a vision of the intrinsic values of love: justice, global peace, solidarity, inclusion, democratic freedom, compassion, and reconciliation. Saade explores current trends of thought that are shaking the foundations of our belief systems and propelling us toward an evolutionary leap. We are in the midst of a spiritual renaissance, Saade asserts, a universal reawakening that will steer us away from the abysmal global dangers we are facing. The book also includes a collection of quotations as a resource for those working for peace, justice, and inclusion. By dividing the selections into theme-specific chapters, Saade helps us easily access the wisdom and companionship of other souls committed to our diversity, our oneness, and our pursuit of justice.
