It seems that times are changing. The term "natural spirituality" refers, basically, to the teachings of the Divine that come to every individual through the natural processes of life. It describes that realm of human experience that includes dreams, synchronicity, body knowledge, visions, and other means of intuitive insight. Natural Spirituality is also the name for local church programs made up of one or more dream groups supported by introductory classes that teach the principles of Jungian psychology as tools for a deeper Christian journey. Natural spirituality as a program was pioneered in 1991 at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Athens, Georgia. I was the initial teacher in that undertaking, and I eventually wrote a book, Natural Spirituality: Recovering the Wisdom Tradition in Christianity, which contains the contents of the introductory class and a description of the Emmanuel program. This has provided other churches with a means to start natural spirituality programs of their own by structuring their introductory classes as study groups centered on the book. There are now more than forty natural spirituality programs underway in churches of several denominations. The strongest geographical concentration so far is in Arkansas, where the Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas supports natural spirituality through a diocesan program called SeedWork, headed by the Rev. Canon Sims-. Working closely with Bishop Larry Maze, has encouraged the initiation of natural spirituality programs in more than twenty Arkansas parishes. We in Emmanuel Church have found that there is no better container for the individuation process than a weekly dream group that meets within the context of traditional Christianity. Prayers and hymns to God on High strengthen, enhance, orient, and empower our ever-so-vital relationship to God Within. Our inner teacher and guide is the Living Christ, the same powerful reality that is called the Self in Jungian terminology. We use both terms. She is also Wisdom, whose praises are sung so beautifully in Scripture. The amazing stream from within that flows into our individual lives and into our lives in community, bringing us teaching and healing, is clearly recognizable as the Living Water. It is our daily bread. It is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We sing the old hymns with enthusiasm. We pray. We analyze dreams, and we examine synchronicities. We meditate, and we talk about chakras. We consult the I Ching. We live a whole, rounded spiritual life, filled with joy and meaning. As a church program, natural spirituality can, potentially, spread to all corners of the world, so that every seeking person in every little town may some day have access to a weekly dream group in at least one church in that town. This is not such a utopian idea. It is already a reality in much of Arkansas. Experience has shown that wherever there is dedication to the inner journey, this seed, when planted, will take root and grow. How to Start a Natural Spirituality Program Organize a book study of Natural Spirituality: Recovering the Wisdom Tradition in Christianity by Joyce Rockwood Hudson. After the book study, start a dream group with those who want to continue on. (A packet of materials to help dream group leaders is available from SeedWork, PO Box 164668, Little Rock, AR 72216.
