The Spiritual Paths Foundation
The Spiritual Paths Foundation is a tax deductible 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that was founded in 2002 in Aspen, Colorado.
Since 2002, we have provided retreats, classes, and e-courses wherein contemplative teachers and practitioners from many major traditions have developed close friendships and shared meditative processes and insights. Together we have forged a new paradigm of InterSpiritual Wisdom leading to greater inner peace, compassion, social justice and a healthy natural environment. We are of one heart. Through these friendships and collaborations Dr. Ed Bastian has coalesced a three-part process for education and practice called of Inquiry, Insight and Integration offered through three primary courses: (1)The InterSpiritual Mandala Process, (2)InterSpiritual Meditation and (3) InterSpiritual Mentor Training.
Spiritual Paths is also the fiscal sponsor for the film in production, “The Dalai Lama’s Gift to the World – the Wheel of Time – Kālachakra.”
