David Spangler is a spiritual explorer, teacher, writer, husband, and father.

While studying at Arizona State University to become a molecular biologist, a childhood contact with subtle worlds blossomed into a collaborative relationship with inner beings which resulted in his leaving the university in 1965 at the age of 20.

He then began his career as a teacher and explorer of subtle and spiritual realms that he still pursues today, over fifty years later.

He was a co-director of the Findhorn Foundation community in Northern Scotland from 1970 to 1973, a Lindisfarne Fellow, and, in 1974, he became a founder of the Lorian Association.

His work with both his non-physical colleagues and his Lorian associates has led to the development of Incarnational Spirituality.

He is the author of over 30 books, including Journey Into Fire; Apprenticed to Spirit; and Working with Subtle Energies, as well as four anthologies of short stories.

He writes a free monthly email essay called “David’s Desk”.

Information about David’s Desk, online courses, books, and workshops can be found at www.Lorian.org.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, he is happily married to his wife, Julia, and together they have four adult children and two grandchildren.
