A New Republic of the Heart

Creating A New Republic of the Heart Book Release

March 8, 2018

Marin Valley resident, author, teacher, and (r)evolutionary, Terry Patten launched his new book, A New Republic of the Heart: An Ethos for Revolutionarieswhich envisions specifics of what we can do and how we can be in order to create a heart-based republic. His book illustrates how inner and outer transformation are entirely interdependent, and that the future of our very life-support system is utterly dependent on the quality, intelligence, tenderness, and courage that each of us can cultivate in ourselves and with each other. It lays out the difficult, necessary, creative, and ultimately rewarding work each must engage in to meaningfully address our most “wicked” problems. He helps show that people can recognize an untapped reservoir of latent inner and outer nobility that they contain, and challenges al l— no matter what happens in the years ahead — to allow ourselves to come, truly and deeply, face to face with ourselves and with one another.
