Do you feel that you are able to have a direct, intimate relationship with spirit? Do you ever just talk to God, ask for help, pour out your heart, even problem-solve with the divine source?

As post-moderns, we may feel uncomfortable in the kind of face-to-face encounter with a divine Other that traditional religions taught. Some of us associate the word God with the mythic or fundamentalist God — the scary patriarchal deity of childhood religion, the one whom science rejects, and evolution debunks.

Yet even when we can find spirit in nature, or in our inmost self, we unconsciously miss the comfort and inspiration of relationship with the personal face of the divine. In this course, we’ll unfold a series of integrally informed practices for coming into that relationship. We’ll look at the different forms the personal face of the divine can take, and the different ways that you can relate to the personal God.

At the core of this teaching is the Three Faces of God. Embracing and Living the Three faces of God on a regular basis is the essence of joy, love and enlightenment as lived realities in your life.

What You’ll Learn

These practices are part of an emergent World Spirituality, implicitly practiced by people across the globe and are now being articulated and consciously evolved, as Spirit’s next audacious and necessary move.

In World Spirituality, we move beyond the ethnocentric traditions, embrace their best medicines, integrate then with the deepest and most powerful insights of modernity and post modernity – all set in an evolutionary context of joy and responsibility — and there you have it, the Eros and Urgency of Spirit seeking to emerge in the practices of our lives, beyond the religions, as a World Spirituality based on Integral Principles.

Join us at the leading edge — with radical humility and gentle audacity — as we catalyze the practice community of Integrity and Love that we all hope for and all need to make our lives an evolutionary triumph!

This course brings together the best of pre-modern, modern and postmodern insight and practices to guide you in your personal — Evolutionary Partnership — with God.
