The study of spirituality and consciousness through Bohm Dialogue

Abstract

ABSTRACT The International Network for the Study of Spirituality (INSS) has recently established a Spirituality and Consciousness Studies Special Interest Group (SaCs SIG), using Bohm Dialogue as the method for gaining knowledge and awareness. This article presents an overview of the rationale for the formation of the group. It explores the potential connections between spirituality and consciousness, and what might be gained by enquiring into the nature of a relationship between them. It also provides an explanation of Bohm Dialogue, and how it can be used as a process for enabling group participants to engage in a participative form of research which includes reflection on, and learning from, the sharing of subjective experiences.
