There is an increasing interest in questions of meaning in many areas of life. There are strong debates taking place around us about the ‘God thing’ with Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens mounting challenges to those of traditional faith. Many people don’t hold to any strong particular faith and yet… they have a real sense that there is more to this than another trip to IKEA.

A transpersonal approach to those questions is one that works in an experiential rather than academic way. It provides a chance to explore with others some of the aspects of experience that ordinarily we get little opportunity to do.
