A spiritual group forms a sacred and protected space where energy can flow from the inner to 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 for 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.
