Spiritual practice, like everything else in life, is evolving. What does this mean? By ‘Spiritual Practice’ I mean any activity that expands your sense of identity, for example meditation, contemplative philosophy, prayer, yoga, martial arts, psychedelics, transpersonal psychotherapy, fasting, visualisation, lucid dreaming, conscious parenting, forgiveness and much more. By ‘Evolving’ I mean that everything develops and adapts over time. Most of the spiritual traditions that have spawned these transformational practices emerged hundreds and often thousands of years ago in the pre-modern era. Modernity (rationality and science) and post-modernity (cultural diversity and the information age) are hugely influential historical periods that have happened since then, and I believe that contemporary spiritual practice needs to integrate the insights of these two worldviews as well as the premodern in order to keep being relevant and adaptive in a changing world.

This conversation is part of a series exploring the personal journeys people have taken with a holistic approach to transformational practices integrating body, heart, mind and spirit. In this episode I speak with Gary Hawke about his journey. Topics covered are: bodybuilding, yoga, love as the essence of spirituality, long distance running, Integral theory (the good things about it and the limitations), Critical Realism and the work of Roy Bashkar, drama therapy for shadow work, Gary’s experiences in psychotherapy and then transitioning to becoming a therapist himself.
