We aim to embark on an exciting journey of discovery through various important paths that lead to greater awareness and many awakenings to life’s deeper meaning and purpose.’
– Glyn Edwards.
‘… I was completely won over…This sharing of ideas can only be good - and will lead to greater understanding between faiths, for it is only with understanding that we can move forward and progress as one.’
‘… I am so pleased to see some well-known people like Glyn Edwards looking at new ways ... ’
– Readers replies to the first article published about the Fellowship.
The Fellowship took shape in the spring of 2006, when the internationally renowned teacher and medium Glyn Edwards began discussions with some friends and colleagues about forming a new spiritual organisation that would draw on more than one tradition and look at numerous areas connected with the whole of growth, including after-death and shamanistic states of consciousness, levels of mystical experience, spirit communication and, most importantly of all, realms of the Divinity-centred living and its implications for daily-life practices and co-creativity.
Before any meeting took place about the Fellowship’s formation, Glyn approached the spiritual writer Santoshan (Stephen Wollaston) about composing a list of what he felt were important areas of unfoldment, along with the wording for a mission statement that would summarise the Fellowship’s aims. These were then presented to a small gathering of friends who tentatively got together with Glyn to discuss the idea of a new fellowship.
After more than three hours of shared thoughts and concerns about spirituality, where everyone present discussed what they felt it truly needed to embrace, the ideas put together by Santoshan were read out to see if they could be used as a possible framework on which to build. Amazingly they summarised and solidified exactly what had just been discussed and were instantly adopted as the Fellowship’s core Unfoldments and mission statement. The Fellowship’s Seven Reflections were added later and emerged out of a book that Glyn Edwards and Santoshan started writing together in the spring of 2008.
An initial team of volunteers then gathered together in order to start the Fellowship and look at ways in which its inclusive, creative and interspiritual approach could be promoted. Since then, the Fellowship has drawn people from diverse fields who have placed differences aside in order to be involved in an enriching organisation for authentic spiritual growth and maturity.
From its humble beginning the Fellowship has continued to run numerous successful courses throughout the UK, received invitation form various overseas students and organisations to conduct training days and seminars, and published its first teachings book in the summer of 2008 – Realms of Wondrous Gifts by Santoshan – which looks at past and contemporary spirituality, the powers in the great wisdom traditions, and features two extensive and in-depth conversations with Glyn Edwards.
The Fellowship hopes that you will find some nourishment from which to draw on your spiritual journey in some of its essential courses and teachings. |
