ProSocial Spirituality

Our unique initiative integrates scientific research and spiritual practices to build thriving, cooperative groups and communities.

ProSocial Spirituality provides tools for groups to deepen their connection, foster collaboration, and work towards shared goals. By blending evolutionary and behavioral science with contemplative spirituality, the initiative offers a transformative approach to personal and collective growth.

What do we mean by “spirituality”?

Spirituality is a flexible term with great reach, scope, and room for interpretation. It’s more a way of life than any one set of dogmatic beliefs.

Our Spirituality Initiative explores the global movement known as Inter-spirituality, which invites people of all religious, spiritual, and secular persuasions to experience the heart of humanity - in all of its diverse expressions - on the path toward greater harmony with one another and all of life. Contemplative practices unearth the mystical roots of the world's religious traditions, revealing a deep unity that stands in stark contrast to rampant trends toward isolation and divisiveness. 

“We have been given the gift of life in this perplexing world to become who we ultimately are: creatures of boundless love, caring, compassion, and wisdom.”

- Interspiritual pioneer Wayne Teasdale

What is ProSocial Spirituality?

ProSocial Spirituality combines two powerful frameworks:

  • Elinor Ostrom’s Eight Core Design Principles (CDPs)
    Grounded in evolutionary science, the CDPs provide practical strategies for effective group functioning, including fair decision-making, equitable resource sharing, and conflict resolution.
  • Wayne Teasdale’s Nine Interspiritual Elements
    These spiritual principles emphasize self-knowledge, simplicity, compassion, and living in harmony with the cosmos.

Together, these frameworks empower groups to thrive by cultivating a shared sense of purpose, trust, and flexibility.
