Worldview, Culture and Spirituality

The global culture and spiritual parctise of the future has to be based on intimacy and compassion.
Sunday, 6th December

People today live in a global village, divided by man-made boundaries, especially on the religious and political world map.

Across the globe a new humanity is sprouting forth, a humanity whose cosmology and spiritual practice built on common understandings and shared histories. We are children of the same Earth and the same creative force.
