"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."
Ewert Cousins, Professor of Theology, Fordham University

Remembering Spiritual Masters Project
We live in a time of increased dialogue and sharing of spiritual experiences among people of different religious traditions. The Living Spiritual Teachers Project of this website spotlights teachers we encourage you to meet and study with (either in person or through their books) on your journey. 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.
This Project is very much a work in progress, so check back often to read profiles of other spiritual masters, and feel free to send us suggestions of those you'd like to see here.
