Evolutionary Enlightenment: Creating the Future

Join Andrew Cohen, visionary thinker and Voices from the Edge founder, for an evening exploring what he calls Evolutionary Enlightenment.

Andrew Cohen is an American spiritual teacher and visionary thinker widely recognised for his original contribution to the emerging field of evolutionary spirituality. Through his talks, retreats, publications, and ongoing dialogues with the leading philosophers, mystics, and activists of our time, he is becoming a defining voice in an international alliance of individuals and organisations committed to the transformation of human consciousness and culture.

Cohen's original spiritual teaching for life in the twenty-first century, Evolutionary Enlightenment, places the traditional realisation of enlightenment in the context of fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution. As a vocal critic of the extreme individualism that characterizes much of contemporary spirituality, Cohen is awakening in people around the world a purpose for living that far transcends egoism: namely, a moral obligation to wholeheartedly participate in the evolution of consciousness itself.

Cohen is the founder and editor in chief of the international award-winning magazine What Is Enlightenment? His most recent book, Living Enlightenment: A Call for Evolution Beyond Ego (2002), was praised by cosmologist Brian Swimme for its "simple, searing wisdom connecting religious ideas about enlightenment with the scientific understanding of an evolutionary cosmos." Cohen travels extensively each year, lecturing and leading retreats on Evolutionary Enlightenment throughout the United States, Europe, India, and Australia.
