Transformation Through Turmoil: When Turmoil and Trauma Bring Sudden Spiritual Awakening
For over 15 years, transpersonal psychologist Steve Taylor has studied powerful stories of spontaneous spiritual awakening—profound transformations that emerge in the midst of crisis. Whether through grief, illness, addiction, depression, or intense stress, some individuals experience a remarkable shift: the breakdown of the old self and the awakening of a new, spiritually expanded identity.
In this interactive event with live Q&A, Steve shares real-life examples from his book Extraordinary Awakenings, exploring why these shifts occur and what they can teach us. You’ll gain practical insights and learn how key principles like acknowledgement, self-exploration, and acceptance can guide your own journey of transformation.
Discover how even the darkest times can hold the potential for awakening.
