"It may well be that the meeting of spiritual paths — the assimilation not only of ones personal spiritual heritage, but that of the human community as a whole is the distinctive spiritual journey of our time."

Living Spiritual Teachers Project
Email This PageThe twenty-first century has been dubbed the "age of interspirituality" by Brother Wayne Teasdale and others who are impressed by the increased sharing of ultimate experiences among people of different spiritual traditions. Certainly publishers have taken note of the trend — making available an unprecedented array of resources from all the worlds religions.
Still, many of us only pay attention to teachers in our own tradition. The result is a missed opportunity to expand and deepen our faith by learning from sacred texts and practices of others.
The "Living Spiritual Teachers Project" is an ongoing project of this website. We hope these brief profiles — complete with background on each teacher, a bibliography, and a list of his or her distinctive contributions to the field — will make it easier for you to identify living teachers whose wisdom might augment your spiritual journey.
A companion area, the Remembering Spiritual Masters Project, profiles teachers who are no longer with us physically but still offer great wisdom through their books, audios, and films.
