InterSpirituality & Integral Multifaith
A program initiated in memory and legacy of Brother Wayne Teasdale

We are pleased to announce the new “InterSpirituality and Integral Multifaith” program and curriculum at One Spirit Learning Alliance and Interfaith Seminary. This dynamic new program brings together persons who were closely associated with Brother Wayne Teasdale (The Mystic Heart: Discovering a Universal Spirituality in the World’s Religions) and his ground-breaking work in trans-traditional spirituality and awakened awareness.

One Spirit joins with the international network of spiritual teachers, authors and scholars carrying forward the legacy of Brother Wayne (“InterSpiritual Dialogue in Action”, www.isdna.org) to create an ongoing course curriculum, events and community programs available through our seminary, leadership training, public access and long distance learning communities. This program was launched in 2008 with the One Spirit community by Drs. Gorakh Hayashi and Kurt Johnson, co-founders with Brother Wayne of “InterSpiritual Dialogue” and authors of “The Heart of Brother Wayne Teasdale’s Vision of the InterSpiritual Age” (Vision in Action 2008).

The new program further joins the profound trans-traditional spiritual vision of Brother Wayne with the important skill sets of the integral thinkers like Ken Wilber and Don Beck. Brother Wayne’s books and Wilber’s Integral Spirituality (2006) are core texts for this curriculum and program activities include participation by recognized nondual spiritual teachers and also members of New York’s “Integral Alliance” and “Integral Salon”. The program, coordinated by One Spirit President Michael Pergola and Dr. Kurt Johnson, will expand on a yearly basis to include activities in New York and elsewhere, including many of our friends and partners listed below.
