Jeff and Amy
Spiritual teachers and partners Amy Edelstein and Jeff Carreira are leading voices in Evolutionary Spirituality, a path that integrates contemplative wisdom with a modern understanding of cosmic and cultural development. Both spent two decades in a dedicated Advaita-based community before co-founding Emergence Education, a platform for transformative philosophy and publishing.
Residing in Philadelphia, they apply their spiritual insights to diverse educational spheres. Edelstein is the founder of Inner Strength Education, a nonprofit that has brought trauma-informed mindfulness and systems thinking to over 35,000 high school students. Carreira, a philosopher and meditation teacher, leads the Mystery School, guiding adults through mystical inquiry.
Together, they work to shift the human paradigm from separation to wholeness, teaching that spiritual awakening is an active, participatory process that fuels both personal liberation and social evolution.

Stephen Fulder
A PhD in molecular biology from Oxford, Stephen Fulder traded a career in science and herbal medicine for a life dedicated to the Dharma. His journey began in 1970s India, practicing primarily in the Theravada (Vipassana) tradition under teachers like Christopher Titmuss and Ajahn Chah. In 1995, he founded Tovana (the Israel Insight Society), the country’s largest meditation organization. His teaching is characterized by “engaged spirituality,” bridging deep meditative insight with social action and Middle Eastern peace-building.
Fulder currently resides in the eco-village of Klil in the Galilee, Israel. He remains an active author and senior teacher, leading retreats and guiding practitioners to find “the mud and the lotus“—inner equanimity amidst outer conflict. His website is at https://www.stephenfulder.com
Fulder was interviewed about his Experience of Being in 2025 in his garden in Klil.
Issho Fujita
A former doctoral student of educational psychology at the University of Tokyo, Zen Master Issho Fujita abandoned academia to pursue Zen at Antai-ji under Soto Zen master Kosho Uchiyama. His journey led him to western Massachusetts, where he served as abbot of Pioneer Valley Zendo for eighteen years, teaching a “somatic style” of Zen that integrates mindfulness with body-based therapies like Feldenkrais.
Fujita-sensei currently resides in Hayama, Japan, where he leads the Chizanso Retreat and the online community Masen-ji. He emphasizes shikantaza (just sitting) as a creative, physical act rather than a rigid ritual, continuing to write and teach global audiences.
He was interviewed about his Experience of Being in 2025 on the porch of his home near Kamakukra.
