Spiritual practices range from internal focus on the spirit within that is also underlying the universe, to relational spiritual practices such as kindness, helping others, forgiveness, and other aspects of positive psychology. A focus will be the benefits to the agent of kindness, and the flourishing of self that flows from contributing to the lives of others. This presentation will unfold at the interface of spiritual thought, wisdom literature, and the sciences.
