Announce a New Partnership

Awakened Awareness UK


3 November, 2022

We are pleased to announce a new partnership between the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, Teachers College at the Columbia University, NY, USA, and the Oxford Interfaith Forum, UK.

Science shows that a college student is in a hard-wired phase of spiritual awakening, yet still this transformation process is highly receptive and sensitive to the environment. We are in a global crisis of meaning among young adults, in part because the university as a global establishment has failed to meet this development imperative. The climate and culture of a university, as well as the spiritual content in college course offerings and campus-based opportunities for spiritual discovery, all weigh in to shape the emerging spiritual awareness of a student. 

The Spirituality Mind Body Institute of Columbia University, USA, and the Oxford Interfaith Forum, UK, now join in collaboration to offer global college students a broad and diverse range of opportunities for spiritual exploration and discovery.  

Emerging adulthood is a time to find direction, an ethical foundation, transcendent awareness, and an articulation of sacred understanding, that often endures across a lifetime. Together the Spirituality Mind Body Institute and the Oxford Interfaith Forum offer any college student on Earth an opportunity of their lifetime.

As a part of the Awakened Awareness UK campaign, we are delighted to gift Professor Lisa Miller’s bestselling book The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life to all UK academic institutions. This generous contribution will ensure that students have a free access to valuable spiritual resources and will contribute towards a more loving, spiritually aware, and positive society.
