Andrew Harvey

Andrew Harvey is a Shakespeare scholar and mystic who was born in India. He envisions true spirituality to be the divinization of earthly life through spiritual practice. These practices can take many forms and can be taken from any religious tradition. The process of divinization will result in the gradual elimination of ecological destruction and of all forms of prejudice, especially racism, misogyny, and homophobia. He lives in Nevada with his husband, the photographer Eryk Hanut.
