Understanding Islam from an Integral, Cosmopolitan, and Meta-Spiritual Perspective (FREE EVENT)

October 27, 2023 at 9:30 am - 11:00 am PDT

This Integral Life Experience is only available to the supporting members

Join the live Zoom session

In this presentation, Jared Morningstar will explore some of the lesser-known potentialities and actualities of the religion of Islam. He will explore three unique features of the faith tradition: its proclivity for diverse expressions and ability to synthesize multiple value-memes in a cohesive framework; its cosmopolitan orientation which has brought myriad philosophical and spiritual material together; and its endogenous theology of religions and spirituality which provides resources for a non-relativistic but deeply integrated pluralism in this domain. Through these explorations, Jared will try to shed light on some lesser-known ideas and spiritual orientations which could serve to augment, qualify, or transform perspectives in the Integral community which have historically remained under-exposed to Islamic traditions.

This event is free in order to make it available to more friends! Do share!
