Interspirituality: What Is Its Meaning and Significance?

Session Description:

In this session, our presenters engage in a conversation on the history, meaning, and significance of the emerging Interspiritual paradigm. Special attention is given to Brother Wayne Teasdale who coined the term “InterSpirituality,” and to Father Thomas Keating whose interspiritual gatherings included expert meditators from many traditions. We also experience a holistic, non-sectarian “InterSpiritual Meditation” process that honors spiritual, ethnic, gender, and cultural diversity. This process is designed to help individuals to create a personal contemplative process by harnessing their own spiritual learning styles. Based on the contemplative wisdom of the world’s great contemplative traditions, this seven-step process guides each person to create a personalized non-sectarian meditation leading to (1) happiness, (2) gratitude, (3) transformation, (4) love and compassion, (5) mindfulness, (6) wisdom, and (7) service to others. Following the meditation, the interspiritual questions and perspectives of the attendees are welcomed.
