What is Global Spirituality? with Annette Kaiser

In this video clip, Annette Kaiser speaks on how a Global Spirituality respects the diversity of all the pre-modern, modern, and post-modern ways of knowing and being in the world, and at the same time, is the through-line that weaves together with discernment and elegance, a way to navigate through this confusing terrain of spirituality and the global world.

Annette Kaiser is the spiritual director of „Villa Unspunnen“ in Switzerland and „Windschnur“ in Germany. She was authorized by the English-Russian Sufi teacher Irina Tweedie to carry on this tradition, which she makes accessible in today’s world. She is married, has two grown children and teaches mainly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. She is author of eight books and in 2000 developed in the Integral DO-Path. Her deepest heart-wish is the transconfessional spirituality that manifests in this world based on the reality of Oneness.
