About Us
The Foundation for Holistic Spirituality is a UK not-for-profit community interest company. It was started in 2007 by Nigel Anthony and William Bloom.
In its Articles and Memorandum of Agreement the purpose of the Foundation is stated to be "education in the field of spirituality, religious studies, healthcare and citizenship."
It is dedicated to a holistic approach to contemporary spirituality and is not attached to any particular belief system. It does, however, assert that there is an important interdependence between spirituality and healthcare, education, and personal and community development.
It also asserts that a deep change is taking place in how our society relates to spirituality and religion. There is a mass movement of people whose approach to spirituality is open-hearted, open-minded, inclusive and celebrates diversity. But this approach is not represented on public decision-making and consultative bodies where the traditional faiths are represented. We seek to enable community building and the representation of this emerging culture.
