The Spirituality Mind Body Institute, Teachers College, Columbia University, NY, USA,
and the Oxford Interfaith Forum, UK,
Announce a New Partnership
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.
The global state of mind — mental or psychological health — is in urgent and indisputable need of transformation. Symptoms of hopelessness, depression, despair, addiction, suicide, and substance abuse are at alarming levels, and rising at alarming rates.
The Awakened Campus Global Conference convenes leading thinkers from universities around the world to speak on the discovery and application of a scientific, evidence-based solution — one that is equivalent to the world’s leading vaccine and offers the highest levehttps://spiritualityineducation.org/awakened-campus-global-2024/ls of prevention and protection against onset and development of severe disease. The administration of the “shot” for this “vaccine” against psychological disease intruth comes from a birthright within the human. We all are born, “hard wired” with an innate capacity to participate in and awaken to a transcendent relationship with a higher power (however one calls the ultimate loving, guiding life force) and feel this sacred presence in our relationship to fellow human beings and Earth.
Demonstrated across multiple levels of analysis (MRI, genotyping, epidemiology) and leading peer-reviewed published studies, Awakened Awareness to our natural, innate spirituality is not only robustly protective against disease but central to our human nature for optimum thriving and wholeness.
