"My son recently passed on at the age of 24. I keep one of his t-shirts clipped to my headboard by means of a portable fan. It dislodged at 5:30am awakening me. I turned the tv on and Global Spirit was playing. I was directed to spirituality a few months ago by my son. I feel he wanted me to see this program to clarify my journey. The Spirit certainly works in mysterious ways. Namaste!"

GLOBAL SPIRIT is a unique inquiry into humankind’s belief systems, wisdom traditions, and states of consciousness. This TV/web series sheds light on humankind’s deepest questions, tracing the eternal, yet still evolving human quest for meaning, truth and wisdom.

“Each week (Global Spirit) brings together scholars and other experts from different religious and philosophical backgrounds, not to sell a faith or argue hot-button issues, but to discuss universal themes like forgiveness or the nature of the spiritual journey.” ~ The New York Times

“The discussions on the “Global Spirit” series are sorely needed in this dispirited and disenchanted world. In many ways it is more important than journalism today.” ~ Bill Moyers

“Belief is a perspective and it can serve you for a time, but holding a single belief indefinitely is like clasping onto the rung of the ladder and staying there.
The ladder is meant to be climbed.”
