Scott Edelstein will discuss his book Sex and the Spiritual Teacher: Why It Happens, When It’s a Problem and What We All Can Do 7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 3 at Magers and Quinn Booksellers, 3038 Hennepin Ave. S., Minneapolis.
Sex and the Spiritual Teacher analyzes why most of our current efforts to keep spiritual teachers from transgressing usually don’t work, and suggests a set of practices and structures that can build community, encourage healthy student-teacher relationships, increase trust and spiritual intimacy between teachers and their students, and help authentic spiritual teachers stay happily monogamous or celibate.
Edelstein is a longtime practitioner of both Buddhism and Judaism, and a committed proponent of serious spirituality in all forms and traditions. Scott’s short work on spiritual topics has appeared in the American Jewish World, among other publications, and he is also the author of 15 other books on a wide range of subjects.
