Sex and the Spiritual Teacher looks at the complex of forces that tempt otherwise insightful, compassionate, and wellintentioned teachers to lose their wayand that tempt some of their students to lose their way as well. It analyzes why most of our current efforts to keep spiritual teachers from transgressing usually don't (and in fact can't) work. Perhaps most importantly, it suggests a set of practices and structures that can build community, encourage healthy studentteacher relationships, increase trust and spiritual intimacy between teachers and their students, and help authentic spiritual teachers stay happily monogamous or celibate. Sex and the Spiritual Teacher is for anyone who is or might become part of a spiritual community: students, teachers, clergy, lay leaders, and even casual visitors. It's a readerfriendly, nononsense guide to making spiritual life safer and fuller for all of us one person, relationship, and community at a time.
