New Dimensions
Since 1973 New Dimensions Radio/Media, a not-for-profit membership organization, has been producing and distributing the "New Dimensions" radio series heard worldwide. Each week, this life-long learning program series presents leading-edge thinkers, scientists, artists, healers, ecologists, spiritual leaders, and social architects in award winning, deep dialogues.
Spirituality is about your deepest relationship to the things that matter—what’s important, who am I, and what is my role in the world. Everyone has to grapple with those questions. So even someone who claims not to be spiritual, they still live those questions. The spiritual journey requires time and it requires cultivation. So in a sense it becomes the foundation of life.” And so, Jonathan Ellerby’s spiritual journey includes helping others develop practices that bring meaning and value to their lives. He has a unique gift for identifying the place spirituality has in each of our lives, and the type of experiences that will bring us further along on our paths. He also understands the need for balance between a practice that brings us comfort and one that holds a mirror to our deepest fears. With his quiet, gentle words he evokes the peace that calls you to your cushion each day, and offers a fresh vision for how you can take your practice beyond the next bend in the road.
