About SpIRE

The Spirituality Institute for Research and Education (SpIRE) was established in 2015 to serve the spiritual seeking of people; it emphasises the value of the academic study of spirituality in higher education, and the interface of spirituality with the professions and with the manifold areas of lived experience.

In order to serve this global spiritual awakening and the journey of life in its spiritual dimension and connection, SpIRE aims to develop contemplative and critically informed spirituality guides, reflective practitioners, spirituality theoreticians, and skilled researchers. It gives effect to its aims through education, research, conferences, training, consultancy, publishing, and networking.
