"We cannot simply mimic another culture, cannot simply adopt their patterns of ritual to find our answers. We must create the new forms in order to heal the tears in the tissue of our land. We must become indigenous ourselves, come to know and love this place and learn its stories, moods, and myths. This is the challenge of the new millennium." - Inès Mazas

The foundational texts of the world's great faith traditions and in particular, their mystical/spiritual universal teachings are the very bedrock for helping persons of any age, denomination, faith or no faith, find personal meaning , purpose and a background for listening, joyful service, respect & admiration!!! for traditions considered as "other" and a path towards personal inner dignity/ Self Realization. Fons Vitae received a 2015-18 Templeton Grant for $750,000 for a spiritually transformative education program for children of the Islamic world which has gone on to be translated into 13 languages and become the basis of schools being established world wide. The books and videos of FV are used by lay folks, spiritual seekers, and in university classrooms. A new FV imprint has just been created called Spiritual Journeys which will publish as both e- and audio books (also printed) personal accounts which we consider of universal relevance and value.
