The Shahmai Network

The Shahmai Network was founded in 2004 as a focus for a new understanding of spiritual, psychical and transformative experiences. In recent years the need for an approach to spirituality that includes the personal exploration of consciousness, an appreciation of the scientific method, as well as an active role in humanitarian and peaceful activism, has been apparent to many involved in our work. There has in the past existed two poles, on the one hand a disdain for the personal experiences of individuals especially when reporting psychical or ‘psi’ phenomena and on the other a lack of engagement with science and reason. The Shahmai approach seeks to go beyond the stigma of previous outlooks and explore spirituality and consciousness in the light of new understandings.
