MetaModern Spirituality with Brendan Graham Dempsey

The short answer to what MetaModern spirituality is that it is what comes after New Age spirituality. The New Age, popular from the 1970’s onwards, was strong in the sense that its progressive outlook brought together all the various spiritual traditions of the world, but weak in the sense that it was rather shallow and whimsical in this approach. The MetaModern view keeps the openness to the rich variety of traditions and practices from around the world but makes a point of situating that within the rigour of the scientific method and the potency of sustained and faithful practice of traditional spiritual techniques. Brendan Graham Dempsey is a writer whose work focuses on the meaning crisis and the nature of spirituality in metamodernity. He earned his BA in Religious Studies from the University of Vermont and his MA in Religion and the Arts from Yale University. He lives in Greensboro Bend, Vermont, where he runs the holistic retreat center Sky Meadow. He is known to sometimes answer to the names Julian, A. Severan, Sadie Alwyn Moon, and others… He moderates a Facebook group called MetaModern Spirituality.   To find out more about Brendan’s work please visit: https://www.brendangrahamdempsey.com/   For more information about my work please visit www.bodyheartmindspirit.co.uk   To hear more of my music please visit my soundcloud page www.soundcloud.com/ralphcree   My youtube channel is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUfQp5jM16pPB7QX2zmMYbQ   My Facebook page is www.facebook.com/bodyheartmindspirituk/   My Evolving Spiritual Practice Podcast can be found on all major podcast platforms P and C owned by Ralph Cree 2022
