ABSTRACT

All human beings are spiritual beings so there is potential for collective spiritual energy whenever people come together. As Jesus said, ‘Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am’ (Matthew 18:20). Hindus gather together in Satsang, or spiritual community, as an important part of evolving in their consciousness. Native Americans gather in Wisdom Councils for spiritual guidance about major decisions that affect the tribe and future generations. All wisdom traditions have spiritual practices incorporating a group of people coming together for some higher purpose.
