In this audio Chris Parish, a pioneer of a new discussion forum called “Enlightened Communication,” describes the extraordinary creativity that emerges when an entire group of people reaches beyond what they know to collectively explore the frontier of consciousness. Based on the Evolutionary Enlightenment teachings of Andrew Cohen, Chris explains, these discussions offer the direct experience of a higher order of relationship between human beings—in which there is a heightened sense of being one's truest self while meeting in a profound communion with others. Dissolving all barriers of separation, this remarkable consciousness, he suggests, holds the potential for solving the enormous problems caused by human conflict and division.
BIO
For almost two decades, Chris Parish has been studying and introducing others to the Evolutionary Enlightenment teachings of spiritual teacher Andrew Cohen. In association with Cohen, the founder and editor in chief of EnlightenNext magazine, he has been developing a process for individuals to come together to explore—and literally co-create—the leading edge of consciousness. Parish has led these “Enlightened Communication” forums, ranging in size from six to sixty people, in the U.S., the U.K., and other European countries.
During the past thirteen years, Parish has directed the London Centre of EnlightenNext, the organization dedicated to supporting the development of Cohen's teaching work. He is currently directing EnlightenNext's new, state-of-the-art facility in London, which houses conference facilities, meditation space, a publishing house, and offices. The new centre offers opportunities for engaging with the Evolutionary Enlightenment teachings and provides a forum for thought leaders from emerging fields such as collective intelligence.
Parish also manages EnlightenNext centres in Paris, Amsterdam, and Copenhagen. Before he met Cohen in 1986, Parish was on the Board of Directors of Gaia House Meditation Centre in Totnes, England.
