Marc Gafni
World Spirituality Leader,
Co-Founder Center for Integral Wisdom
Marc Gafni is a visionary thinker, social activist, passionate philosopher, wisdom teacher, and author of ten books, including the award-winning Your Unique Self: The Radical Path to Personal Enlightenment, the two-volume Radical Kabbalah, and the recently published Tears: Reclaiming Ritual, Integral Religion, and Rosh Hashana. He holds his doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University, rabbinic certification from the chief rabbinate in Israel, as well private rabbinic ordination. Known for his rare combination of brilliant mind and overflowing heart, he teaches on the cutting edge of philosophy in the West - articulating a new 'dharma,' or meta-theory of meaning that is helping pave the way for the evolution of consciousness.
He is the co-initiator, with leading Integral philosopher Ken Wilber, of the Center for Integral Wisdom, an activist think tank dedicated to evolving and articulating a shared global framework of ethics, eros, and meaning. The center is chaired by John Mackey and co-chaired by Kate Maloney. In partnership with leading thinkers and change agents working on key social issues, Gafni’s work in the world is focused on collectively re-shaping key pivoting points in consciousness and culture.
