Let Your Spirit Breathe.
Living must be spiritually centered. Human beings naturally seek harmony with themselves, others and their environment. We are naturally good, creative and caring. But life becomes unbalanced when we focus overly on physical, material and mental priorities---and lack spiritual foundation, expression and growth. Loneliness and fear seep in, as well as a sense of being unfulfilled, empty and separate from others. When we place too much emphasis on physical, material and mental / intellectual goals they in fact become vulnerable, compromised, and even destructive. This is true for us as individuals, as families, communities, societies, even as a species.
At the Godspeed Institute we seek connection with and guidance from those who understand and teach the history, purpose and practices of the world's religious and spiritual wisdom---those who remind us to stay rooted in our heart, breath, soul, spirit or higher selves, and those who help us evolve into spiritually centered beings. We explore and celebrate the wealth of our diverse spiritual heritage as a source of knowledge, a path leading toward tolerance, and a way for all people to learn about and strengthen spiritual life skills. This is where we find balance, peace, purpose and fulfillment with ourselves and the world around us. Please join us on the journey to a better life, better relationships and a better world.
Listen and learn how others find meaning and purpose through spiritual beliefs.
Join us live on The Progressive Radio Network every Sunday from 2:00 – 3:00 pm (EST), where we explore the world’s spiritual belief systems as an on-air classroom with great teachers of our time. Browse all of our shows here:

Born and raised in South Africa, Rev. Robert V. Taylor saw firsthand the difference that could be made when oppressed people are given the freedom to discover their voices, trust their imaginations, and find the courage to be who they are. In 1980 Taylor was sent to the United States by his mentor, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to avoid imprisonment for his anti-apartheid activity. Along the way, Taylor found his own voice — and in his book ‘A New Way to Be Human,’ continues to explore integrating personal spirituality and values-driven strategies with the question of how we each leave a footprint of compassion in the world.

The Theosophical Society in America was founded in New York in 1875 with three main purposes: to form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or color; to encourage the study of Comparative Religion, Philosophy, and Science; and to investigate the unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent within the human being. The Society is composed of lifelong students belonging to any religion - or to none. Rooted in Ageless Wisdom, and engaging knowledge that is religious, scientific and esoteric, their bond is not the profession of a common belief, but a common search and aspiration for Truth. Joining Caer Hallundbaek to discuss theosophy is Tim Boyd, president of the Theosophical Society in America.

There are many great quotes out there, by Quakers and about Quakers, by people from Harriet Tubman to Woody Allen – but this is one that caught our attention: “A good End cannot sanctify evil Means; nor must we ever do Evil, that Good may come of it” – this by William Penn, Quaker leader and founder of the state of Pennsylvania. In this program Caer discusses Quaker beliefs and practices with Barry Crossno, General Secretary of Friends General Conference, exploring the Quaker’s spiritual core – the Light Within – which can offer an experience of faith, and worship, without rituals, clergy or other church structures.
