Marc Gafni is a cutting edge spiritual teacher, author, television personality, mediator, corporate consultant, iconoclast, and gentle provocateur.
He has written seven books, including the national bestseller Soul Prints, which won the prestigious NAPRA award for Best Spirituality Book of 2001, and was a main selection of the One Spirit Book Club and the Amazon.com Best Book in the Jewish Thought category in 2001. This book was also made into a National PBS special and an audio series by Sounds True recordings. Soul Prints is published by Simon & Schuster.
Marc Gafni?s second major English language book, also published by Simon & Schuster, was The Mystery of Love. It unpacks an esoteric Kabbalistic tradition about the profound relationship between the sexual, the erotic, and the sacred. The Mystery of Love was critically acclaimed and made into an audio series called The Erotic and the Holy, published by Sounds True.
Marc Gafni has been teaching and leading spiritual seminars, learning communities, training programs, and spiritual movements since he was in his early twenties. During much of that time, Marc Gafni struggled with the question of whether to teach conventional spiritual wisdom in a conventional spiritual context or to follow a more post-conventional style of teaching and living. This tension brought great dynamism to his work but also caused some dissonance. Now and in the future, Marc Gafni is committed to teaching a post-conventional spirituality that is rooted in traditional wisdom, yet fully adapted to the needs of a postmodern spiritual world.
Like some other leaders and teachers in this age of unregulated internet conversation, Gafni has been attacked on some non reputable or ill informed private websites and blogs. He has chosen not to directly respond to the blatantly false complaints or seriously distorted accounts of his life and relationships that appear on these sites.
However even when complaints are false, as in this case, Gafni believes that he, like any human being, must joyfully accept full responsibility for whatever his part might be in the contribution systems that led to false complaints.
In his words, even when a person is falsely accused and even if they are ninety five percent right, their power lies in the five percent for which they can take personal responsibility.
Marc Gafni is the co-founder - with leading spiritual teachers and holders of the Integral Feminine - Diane Musho Hamilton, Sally Kempton and Sofia Diaz - of iEvolve Global Practice Community.
Marc Gafni is also currently the co-founder of Incorrect Inc., a publishing entity dedicated to producing a library of teachings on the human spirit, designed to help create a better future for our children and grandchildren. There are seven volumes in various stages of preparation covering a range of topics.
All of these books emerge from Marc Gafni?s own experience as a human being, teacher, and student on the path of life and liberation. Several are being written with co-authors. Topics include: The Unique Self and No Self; Non-dual Humanism; The Masculine and the Feminine; The Dance of Tears-the Path of Laughter; Sex, Ethics and Injury; Shadow Dancing in the Light; Tragedy and Transformation; Sexuality and Kabbalah; Integral Judaism; Integral Kabbalah; as well as a personal sacred autobiography.
Marc Gafni is also preparing a series of books on the weekly biblical reading of the Hebrew tradition as well as the sacred cycle of time as a spiritual path in the ancient Hebrew tradition.
