Dr Roger Walsh: Camp fire chat with a spiritual elder

Evolving Spiritual Practice

Dr Roger Walsh is a very wise man. Since the 1970's he has devoted his life to exploring consciousness and wisdom through a wide variety of spiritual and psychological techniques. This conversation is a camp fire chat and trans-generational gifting of the lessons Roger has learned on his long journey mastering these practices. Roger (M.D., Ph.D. DHL.) graduated from Australia’s Queensland University with degrees in psychology, physiology, neuroscience, and medicine, and then came to the United States as a Fulbright Scholar. He is now at the University of California at Irvine where he is professor of psychiatry, philosophy, and anthropology, as well as a professor in the religious studies program.

Roger’s research and writings span several areas. These include the nature of psychological health and wellbeing, meditation and contemplative practices, religion and spirituality, wisdom and other virtues, integral studies, and the psychological roots of our current global crises. He is deeply immersed in contemplative practices as a student, researcher, and teacher.

Roger’s books include Paths Beyond Ego (one of Common Boundary’s “Most Influential Books”), Meditation: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives (“Outstanding Academic Book of the Year Award”), Essential Spirituality: The Seven Central Practices with a foreword by The Dalai Lama, and The World of Shamanism. He is currently editing The World’s Great Wisdom: What Sages Say about Living Wisely and Well.
