Science shows that a college student is in a hard-wired phase of spiritual awakening, yet still this transformation process is highly receptive and sensitive to the environment. We are in a global crisis of meaning among young adults, in part because the university as a global establishment has failed to meet this development imperative. The climate and culture of a university, as well as the spiritual content in college course offerings and campus-based opportunities for spiritual discovery, all weigh in to shape the emerging spiritual awareness of a student.

Emerging adulthood is a time to find direction, an ethical foundation, transcendent awareness, and an articulation of sacred understanding, that often endures across a lifetime. Together the Spirituality Mind Body Institute at the Columbia University, USA, and the Oxford Interfaith Forum, UK offer any college student on Earth an opportunity of their lifetime.

Professor Lisa Miller will host an in-person event in University College, Oxford, as a part of the Awakened Awareness UK campaign. Her presentation will be followed by a roundtable discussion with leading theologians, scientists, and members of the University of Oxford. The attendees will have opportunity to engage in conversation with Professor Miller after a roundtable discussion.
