EnlightenNext: A 22 Year Experiment Jeff Carreira and Amy Edelstein

 
At this pivotal moment in history, it is clearer than ever that human beings urgently need to find new ways to come together-to work together, live together, and evolve together; to create solutions and discover potentials that lie beyond the reach of any individual alone. But coming together-as anyone who has ever been involved in a community, a congregation, a team, or a marriage knows-is easier said than done. And coming together for a higher purpose, a spiritual purpose is perhaps the greatest challenge of all. EnlightenNext is a thriving experiment in conscious evolution that has been actively leaning into this challenge of coming together for the purpose of evolution for over twenty years. Inspired and guided by Andrew Cohen's philosophy of Evolutionary Enlightenment, and informed by ongoing dialogue with leading thinkers in a variety of fields, EnlightenNext's core group of men and women have been pioneering a new form of individual and collective spiritual practice that has resulted in not only personal transformation but in the discovery of a dynamic and creative collective consciousness. This "intersubjective enlightenment," as Cohen calls it, is the source of all of EnlightenNext's work, including Folio award-winning magazine What Is Enlightenment?, dynamic online forums and broadcasts, and courses and events held around the world.
