Celtic Renaissance: Living Contemporary Life In the Celtic Spirit

Only by achieving higher consciousness, spiritual growth, and better balance, can we discover greater joy, satisfaction, meaning, and purpose in our lives. In the collective wisdom of the past and present, lies the opportunity and hope for a new era of global cooperation, peace, harmony, unity, and prosperity. The knowledge and wisdom of the ancient masters is still relevant in today's world (e.g., Taoism, Buddhism, Sufism, Gnostic Christianity, and in particular, Celtic Mysticism). These sources of ancient wisdom taken collectively with the integrated, holistic perspective of humanistic philosophy and transpersonal or spiritual psychology, and the relatively new science of quantum physics have opened new and ever-expanding avenues of awareness. Much of the wisdom and philosophy of the indigenous or native people of ancient Europe is expressed in Celtic mysticism and Druidry, as well as strongly reflected in the broad span of Celtic culture, both past and present. Celtic spirituality is still a living force in the modern world in and through Celtic art, Celtic music, Celtic writing, and Celtic worldview and mysticism. Celtic Renaissance: Living Contemporary Life in the Celtic Spirit is an existential quest that bridges time and space in a journey that ultimately leads to an epistemological synthesis and the revelation that we are not merely passive observers of our universe, but are instead active participants and co-creators of our own lives, humanity, and the future; in essence, our own core of reality. This transformative journey of consciousness and spirituality is infused through the power of our beliefs and intentions, meaning that the choice, outcome, and responsibility belong to each of us alone (Braden, 2007).
