Romulo Villalba’s Education

  • One Spirit Interfaith Seminary

    Ordained Interfaith Minister , Study World’s Religions and Spiritual Diversity to Support Deep Personal Growth and Transformation , 20072009

    All authentic spiritual traditions, at their core, are committed to the common values of peace, tolerance, wisdom, compassionate service, and love for all creation. Beneath the diversity of theological beliefs, rites, and observances lies the deeper common ground built on a clear understanding of authentic spiritual experience. While there is great value in learning what others believe about the Divine, it is only on that deeper ground of how we experience this vast presence of energy and intelligence that we can recognize and embrace one another as brothers and sisters, and help each other become more fully who we are.

    We draw from the resources of the great wisdom teachings, both ancient and modern, to increase our appreciation for the diversity of life and to nurture a direct experience of the unity that underlies it.
