Committed to the Sacred: In Honorof Thomas Steininger–with Mary Adams, Steve Brett and François Demange

Mike Kauschke in dialogue with Mary Adams, Steve Brett and François Demange

Thomas Steininger, our friend and companion, editor of evolve, founder and host of Radio evolve, passed away on October 9. He succumbed to the effects of a brain tumor that was diagnosed two and a half years ago. Like his life, he completed this transition of dying with an unshakeable trust in the eternity of life.

Thomas was imbued with a deep love for the new horizons of our humanity. For the possible, the creative, the not-yet-realized, the true, beautiful, and good that can still happen in and between us. The sacred space between people was his guiding star, the interbeing that can be experienced vividly in Emergent Dialogue, which Thomas co-foundedwith his partner Elizabeth Debold.

Thomas was a pioneer, a trailblazer, a co-creator of a contemporary culture of consciousness in which spiritual depth, anawareness of the sacred, clarity of thought, and ethical heart come together. He tirelessly sought dialogue and created spaces for encounter, in which the essential, the deeply meaningful, the mystery of life could reveal itself creatively.

Mary Adams, Steve Brett and François Demange where partners in this dialogue in different ways. This week, Mike Kauschke, managing editor of evolve, talks with them in honor of Thomas Steininger about a life committed to the sacred.
