A spiritual group forms a sacred and protected space where energy can flow from the inner into the outer world. Weaving together dreams and spiritual stories, IN THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS explores the dynamics of a spiritual group, how it functions as both a protective space and a container of transformative energy. In particular this book looks at the difficulties encountered by a seeker living in the Western world, whose material oriented values are often antagonistic to the inner journey, while at the same time exploring how spiritual groups are the sacred spaces of the future.
