The rich historical tapestry of psychosynthesis in North America reveals itself in this volume through fascinating stories from many voices. Learning from both the successes and errors of the past, we see more clearly the contributions psychosynthesis has made to transpersonal and spiritual psychology, and how it can continue to guide us in the challenging times ahead.

This book is a remarkable testament to the essence of psychosynthesis: an act of collective will that is skillful, good, and joyful. It is an honor to assist in illuminating the history of psychosynthesis in North America.

This book contains a detailed record of the history of psychosynthesis in North America to date. Psychosynthesis is rooted in eastern and western wisdom traditions and integrates these perspectives with contemporary psychological theory and practice. For fifty years on this continent, psychosynthesis has played a vital role in illuminating and guiding the process of individual and social awakening to new consciousness and values. Its applications branch into many areas of current human endeavor to make the world a better place for all.
