Spiritual Crisis Network UK

The Spiritual Crisis Network is a UK non-profit organisation that provides support and resources to help make meaning of and integrate a crisis experience, resulting in the relief of suffering and more positive outcomes. Spiritual crisis, often called spiritual emergency, awakening or psycho-spiritual crisis, is a turbulent period of psychological opening and transformation.

The International Spiritual Emergency Network (ISEN)

ISEN is a collaboration of not-for-profit support networks from around the world. Each network is run by volunteers and offers information and referrals at no cost to those experiencing or affected by Spiritual Emergency. They encourage and assist in the establishment of local Spiritual Emergence Networks (SENs) and related projects in countries where support is lacking. Additionally, as a forum, they support each other, pool resources and share knowledge. They recognise that a Spiritual Emergency/Spiritual Crisis is part of an ongoing, natural process of human growth and transformation towards wholeness and a greater sense of wellbeing. They see spirituality as an integral part of everyday life. Spiritual emergence and spiritual emergency are holistic concepts that include physical, psychological and social dimensions.

Thousands upon thousands of people around the world are reporting having spiritual experiences, waking up to a more expanded level of consciousness, which have the potential to catalyze a greater capacity to realize our collective human potential. They can also be extremely destabilizing within our current cultural framework, resulting in a growing number of people experiencing mental health problems, exacerbating the current global crisis. A growing body of research shows us that having a non-pathological framework within which to understand spiritual experiences reduces the chance of a person going into crisis.

ISEN (International Spiritual Emergence Network) was created to be a vital resource and collaborative platform to assist established networks around the world that offer compassionate support to individuals who understand their experiences to be a spiritual crisis, rather than a mental illness. We are in the process of helping to link existing spiritual emergence networks with each other while assisting in the process of creating new spiritual emergence networks in countries where they don’t yet exist, helping to bring together people who need help with those who can assist them, in order to assist with this vital paradigm shift towards an integral world. ISEN provides assistance, education and encourages research toward a non-pathological, integral framework that understands and embraces spiritual emergency, reduces the crisis’ risks, and raises awareness globally—assisting the emerging paradigm shift to a higher consciousness for all of humanity.
