Become a memberJoin us for Evolving Spirit, a new monthly series that takes us deep into the heart of Integral Spirituality, hosted by Kimberley Theresa Lafferty.
Are you a spiritual leader seeking to elevate your practice with integrity and compassion? Or perhaps you’re a seeker interested in understanding the dynamics of ethical (or not) spiritual guidance?
Join us for an enlightening podcast episode that delves into the heart of ethical awareness and the right use of power in spiritual leadership.
Kimberley will be joined by Jac O’Keeffe, a Theology graduate with postgraduate studies in Adult and Community Education. Jac has followed her own eclectic and disciplined spiritual path for over 25 years, including 15 years served as an independent spiritual teacher, guiding people in the unfoldment of their own spiritual journey. She offers an extensive library of teachings, courses, talks including two books: Born to Be Free and How to Be a Spiritual Rebel.
As a co-founder and president of the Association for Spiritual Integrity Jac’s primary passion is to be in service to this organisation seeking to change the paradigm of spiritual leadership. She draws upon her long experience as an international spiritual teacher, her academic qualifications, and professional certifications that include: The Right Use of Power (instructor level), Leadership Skills for Women in Management, and Financial Coaching.
Each month, Evolving Spirit will feature intimate and thought-provoking discussions with Kimberly and leading experts, exploring the intersection of integral ideas, personal lived experience, and transformative spiritual practices. From ethics in spiritual communities to psychedelics and stages of development, we will deeply explore the topics that shape our evolving spiritual lives.
With her rich expertise in adult development, integral metatheory, and Indo-Tibetan Vajrayana, Kimberley brings a unique depth to the conversation. A seasoned teacher-practitioner and Board member of the Association for Spiritual Integrity, she lives and teaches from a remote valley in the North Cascades, grounding her work in embodied practice.
Throughout human history, the spiritual or extraordinary experience has appeared in our storytelling, rituals, art, literature and oral wisdom traditions. Reality shifts at some point for all of us. Non-ordinary realities are mysterious, deeply impactful moments of our life, yet we rarely have the place or space to talk about or make meaning of them — until now.” —Kimberley Lafferty
“There are four major stages or phases of spiritual unfolding: belief, faith, direct experience, and permanent adaptation: you can believe in Spirit, you can have faith in Spirit, you can directly experience Spirit, you can become Spirit.” —Ken Wilber, One Taste
