He is the founder of Integral Enlightenment. He is a pioneer in the emerging field of evolutionary spirituality. In his inspired writings, talks, and teachings, he calls us to awaken beyond the confines of the separate ego and dedicate our lives to the further evolution of consciousness itself. It’s all about evolution.

I first heard of Craig through a Marianne Williamson email alert. Marianne said, “For the last fifteen years Craig Hamilton has been teaching the ideas at the core of what many call "the new enlightenment." Barbara Marx Hubbard recently wrote: "If I had to pick one teacher to take a deep dive with around conscious evolution and evolutionary spirituality it would be Craig. He empowers us to make the shift from ego to essence and from essence to emergence as an expression of the Evolutionary Impulse itself. This is very rare. To be one of his students in depth is a great privilege." To learn more and register for this free global teleconference, visit the link below: Awakening to the Call of the Cosmos

So I clicked on the link and listened to Craig’s teleseminar, Awakening to the Call of the Cosmos: How to Align Your Life with the Impulse of Evolution, along with 8,000 other fellow evolutionaries. I loved what I was hearing. I got excited! Really excited!! I signed up for his annual nine week telecourse which starts June 21, 2011, 5:30pm PST.

Then I visited his website and was blown away by one of his articles, The Next Big Bang: Awakening to Conscious Evolution. I so resonate with the insight and direction of his pointers. He says, “We are at a unique moment in history. So, how would we live if we knew that we were transitional beings and that evolution was now in our hands?”

About the telecourse: “In these live virtual seminars with Craig, you’ll discover the liberating principles and practices of integral-evolutionary spirituality. Each week explores a new vista of possibility, supporting you in making the next step in your process of evolutionary transformation. As the course unfolds, you will continue to have unlimited access to all of the course sessions (listen online or download the mp3 files to your iPod or audio player).”

About Craig Hamilton: “Craig’s work at Integral Enlightenment integrates decades of intensive spiritual practice with insights gleaned during his eight years as Senior Editor of the award-winning What Is Enlightenment? magazine. For 13 years, he participated in the dynamic living “laboratory of evolution” known as EnlightenNext, under the direct guidance of its founder, Andrew Cohen, ultimately playing a key role in the leadership of this thriving international spiritual community. In his current work, he is helping to articulate an authentic evolutionary spirituality—an “integral enlightenment” which illuminates the vital relationship between individual transformation and collective evolution.

Craig is a founding member of Ken Wilber’s Integral Institute, a member of Deepak Chopra’s Evolutionary Leaders Forum, and was a participant in the Synthesis Dialogues, a 35-person interdisciplinary think tank presided over by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. His celebrated conversations with other luminaries form the basis of the acclaimed webinar series’, “The Great Integral Awakening: Pioneering A New Spiritual Path,” and “Awakening the Impulse to Evolve: The Birth of Evolutionary Spirituality.” He has also been a contributor to Shift magazine and co-authored IONS’ 2008 Shift Report.

Craig lives with his wife, Claire, in San Rafael, California. Until you return, fill your days with GIGGLES, JOY, and APPRECIATION!
