About Dr. John Churchill

Dr. John Churchill’s journey into psycho-spiritual development began in his adolescence in London, where his passion for Integral theory, Western Esotericism, and Mahayana Buddhism first took root. This path led him to become a Buddhist monk at Samye Ling Monastery in Scotland, where he received the esoteric Planetary Dharma transmissions that later inspired his groundbreaking Fourth Turning teachings. With 15 years of training in “Great Seal” meditation under Dr. Daniel P. Brown, John has also gained expertise in attachment therapy, hypnosis, and peak performance psychology. A founding member of Ken Wilber’s Integral Institute, John developed the somatically based contemplative practice Embodying the Open Ground, which integrates psychodynamic healing, adult development, and meditation. He holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and is trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, blending ancient wisdom with modern psychology for transformative planetary awakening.
