When Val first stumbled into the scholarship on transpersonal psychology (western psychology meets Eastern Spirituality meets the Perennial Tradition) she saw “transcend and include” on every page of this powerful scholarship. As she took this in, one part of her soul felt a recognition of truth. The other part of her soul shuddered a little and she mumbled to the universe (Eve-like) “Is there no other way?”

After hundreds of hours of reading, thinking, and even dreaming about how people in and around the LDS church can truly grow beyond the current climate of polarization that exists…the answer feels clear to her– “there IS no other way” to truly find our deepest, most whole spiritual power and healing. Join Val and a group of Friday Fellowship listeners in this special “Office Hours” recording–where they talk about this sacred but soul-stretching work at the spiritual ‘next level’ of development.
