This week on Healthy You! our guest is David Spangler.  Since 1964 David has been an author and spiritual teacher.  From 1970 to 1973 he was a co-director of the Findhorn Foundation Community in northern Scotland and the founder of its educational program.  He was also a co-founder in 1974 of the Lorian Association, a non-profit spiritual educational foundation, which remains to this day the organization for which he works. 

In 2003 the Lorian Center for Incarnational Spirituality was created to define Lorian’s role more specifically. Its purpose is to administer a series of approaches to education, including:

• A long-term program with Masters degree options
• Home study education books and materials
• A worldwide network, using online connections and classes to explore and research Incarnational Spirituality.

Today Lorian remains an organization committed to the definition, grounding, and support of an emerging spirituality that recognizes and engages the Sacred within the heart of all life. 

David is also a Fellow of the Lindisfarne Association. He has developed and taught classes at a number of institutions, including the University of Wisconsin, Seattle University, Bastyr University, and the California Institute of Integral Studies.  His current work involves developing and teaching a spiritual practice called incarnational spirituality. Information about his work and the online courses which he teaches can be found at www.Lorian.org.

David is the author of multiple books including:  The Call; Everyday Miracles; Parent as Mystic, Mystic as Parent; Blessing: The Art and the Practice; The Story Tree. His latest book is Subtle Worlds: An Explorer’s Field Notes. He has another new book,  Facing the Future, which is due out in March.
