Interspiritual Meditation: An Evening of Learning and Practice

Facilitated by Rev. Diane Berke

Interspiritual Meditation is a 7-step process designed by Ed Bastian, founder and president of Spiritual Paths Foundation, to allow people from diverse spiritual and wisdom traditions to engage in contemplative practice together while honoring and celebrating their own tradition and path.

Reflecting on and practicing each of the 7 steps - motivation, gratitude, transformation, compassion, mindfulness, wisdom, and service - provide a strong foundation for an ever-deepening spiritual life and practice. We are supported in cultivating deep inner peace, love and compassion for ourselves and others, wisdom and discernment, and happiness that does not depend on life's ups and downs. And we naturally bring these inner gifts into the world in service, sharing and extending them to alleviate suffering and bring happiness and well-being to everyone. Come learn these 7 steps and experience this rich and nourishing practice.
