We are a growing community of thinkers, activists, healers and therapists trying consciously to engage in the processes of transformation as one civilisation loses its power, and another emerges. To maintain coherence, integrity and dialogue, we have created a reading team from a number of different academic, spiritual and therapeutic disciplines who will advise and comment on in-coming articles.
All readers are actively engaged in both intellectual and experiential work on fostering a new paradigm both in their own places of work, and at the East West Sanctuary. Each specialise in one of our three categories of healing, consciousness and society.
