<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">How do
we creatively participate in the mystery of spirituality? My new book <em>Participation
and the Mystery: Transpersonal Essays in Psychology, Education, and Religion</em><span class="m_-6639301645510769233gmail-apple-converted-space"> (SUNY Press, 2017) </span>explores
participatory spirituality, which holds that human beings are active co-creators
of spiritual phenomena and worlds. With the dwindling of organized religion,
there is a growing movement for a more personal, individuated spirituality to come
to the forefront and enrich old structures. <em>Participation and the Mystery</em><span class="m_-6639301645510769233gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span>offers an examination of the
relationship between science and transpersonal psychology, the import of shared
entheogenic visions, the nature of a fully embodied spirituality, the features of
integral education, and the future of religion<span></span></p>
