Abstract:
Aim of this paper is to show, via the lens of a culturally specific dream, how the transpersonal could benefit from broadening its approach to spirituality to include the wisdom of African spiritual beliefs. Considering some of the reasons for its lack of prominence, together with an exploration of some of the richness held within African spirituality, this paper suggests that a more Cosmopolitan approach to the Transpersonal is needed to avoid the creation of a spiritual Other. [This paper was based on the
presentation at the 18th Annual Transpersonal Psychology Section Conference on 10–12 October 2014,
The University of Northampton.]
