Wednesday Night Edition

On Wednesday Night, December 17th, we will be having another collaboration with our colleague Kurt Johnson.   We will be exploring the powerful two-volume set from Light on Light Press on the topics of Interspirituality: The Heritage, and Interspirituality: The Future.   This Anthology book is profound and Kurt is bringing two of the contributors to our show.   We look forward to meeting Patrick Carolan and Diane Berke.

INTERSPIRITUALITY: THE HERITAGE brings together more than 100 global contributors to explore the roots, emergence, and meaning of the interspiritual experience—a dynamic convergence of the world’s wisdom traditions grounded in shared values of compassion, justice, unity, and love.

With an introduction by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, foreword by Matthew Fox, and featuring Wayne Teasdale – Thomas Keating – Ken Wilber – Mirabai Starr – Joan Borysenko – Ashok Gangadean – Cynthia Bourgeault – James Finley – Kurt Johnson – Netanel Miles-Yépez – Charles P. Gibbs – Kabir and Camille Helminski – Philip Goldberg – Ed Bastian – William Keepin – Lama Surya Das – Andrew Harvey – Rory McEntee – Adam Bucko – Paul Chaffee – Diane Berke – Robert Atkinson – Beverly Lanzetta – Swami Shraddhananda – Matthew Wright – Rami Shapiro and other notable spiritual teachers, Interspirituality: The Heritage, along with Interspirituality: The Future, forms a historic two-volume set.

INTERSPIRITUALITY: THE FUTURE continues the global conversation from Interspirituality: The Heritage, honoring the 25th anniversary of Dr. Wayne Teasdale’s seminal book The Mystic Heart. Teasdale introduced the term Interspirituality to describe a “universal spirituality” found within all the world’s religions.

Volume 1 offered a historical tapestry of the emerging interspiritual experience (1999-2015). Volume 2—The Future traces its evolution from 2015 to the present, spotlighting the next wave of voices, visions, and initiatives of this global phenomenon. The contributions reflect a world in urgent transformation—socially, ecologically, politically, and spiritually—and affirm Interspirituality as a dynamic, adaptive response to our global challenges.

Omashar will also provide musical offerings.
