SGTI is pleased to announce its third guest in the "Interspiritual Luminary" webinar series:
Dr. Ed Bastian of the Spiritual Paths Foundation.
Monday January 27, 1:oo-2:00 p.m EDT
This free 1-hr. webinar is open to the public and pre-registration is required.
In this webinar...
We will have a discussion with one of the early scholars and friends in the field of interspiritual education, Dr. Ed Bastian. We will consider the interrelationship of the past, present, and potential future of interspirituality: What are examples of interspiritual contemplative practices? How can interspiritual perspectives and processes help the "Nones" and "SBNRs," etc., find meaning and purpose in the absence of a religious foundation? What distinguishes interspirituality from interfaith? How might we integrate wisdom from multiple sources without misappropriating, misinterpreting and watering down? We hope to have some fun as we explore these questions and more. You will be able to ask Ed your own questions, too. We hope you will join us for this inspiring and educational event!
