Uniting the global transpersonal community
Welcome to the online home of the International
Transpersonal Association (ITA). We have developed this
website for those involved in academic research, projects and other
activities with a transpersonal focus. We define the term
'transpersonal' as having three fundamental connotations:
- Connectedness to a larger sense of being
- Recognition of the sacred
- Sense of quest … that we all have a journey to make to
reach that larger sense of being
The ITA aims to support our journeys, both by building and
sharing substantive knowledge about the transpersonal and by
exploring practical ways to achieve our potential.
The ITA seeks to promote a transpersonal vision in research,
scholarship, education, and those therapeutic and practical spheres
in which a spiritual orientation is beneficial. It aligns itself
with no single approach, be it religious or scholarly. Rather it
encourages a diversity of perspectives through which insights from
spiritual traditions might be effectively integrated into modern
culture.
