Welcome to the Lorian Association web site and thank you for your interest in our work.
Many people see that we are approaching a crisis in our relationship with the world, that there is a breakdown in Humanity’s engagement with the Earth. We at Lorian agree and believe that this is largely caused by the disconnect we have created from this planet’s living systems and our inability to fully incarnate into this sacred domain. The problems we face are as much spiritual and psychological as they are technological and social.
Lorian’s response to these world challenges is to offer training in “Incarnational Spirituality”. This spiritual education does not seek to remove us from the world but rather aims towards partnerships; creating wholeness within ourselves, our communities and our ecology.
We welcome your participation and your contributions to this work of world healing.

Incarnational Spirituality
Incarnational Spirituality is the foundation for all of Lorian’s work. It is an affirmation of the spirit innate within our world, our humanity, our physicality, and our personal lives. It sees each person as a source of spiritual power and radiance.
Incarnational Spirituality brings a holistic perspective to spirituality. The spiritual life is often seen as focusing upon the transpersonal and the transcendent, directing our attention beyond the world and beyond the self. Incarnational Spirituality seeks to balance this by restoring an awareness of the spiritual nature of our physical, everyday selves and the sacredness of the world around us.
Incarnational Spirituality is grounded in our sovereignty as individuals. Each of us is a unique incarnation of sacredness able to make contributions that no one else can make to the wellbeing of our world and the positive unfoldment of our future.
Incarnational Spirituality is a calling to discover the nobility and spiritual presence in our everyday selves. It is a calling to unfold capacities of blessing, manifesting, creating, and healing within us.
Incarnational Spirituality is a calling of responsibility to each other and to our world. It is a calling to act and not just reflect, to engage and not just contemplate. How a person answers that calling is up to him or her. We each serve in unique ways. Incarnational Spirituality can offer tools that assist us in doing so, demonstrating the unity of inner alignment with outer activity.
Join us in discovering and unfolding the radiance of your own incarnation as a spiritual presence and force for good in the world.
