What is Spirituality? - Keith Kurlander and Dr. Will Van Derveer - HPP 88

The Higher Practice Podcast for Optimal Mental Health

What is the relationship between mental health and spiritual health? How do we define spirituality? Are there differences between a mental illness and spiritual illness?

That is the topic of today’s episode, where we explore the shared elements of spiritual well-being and mental health, how they support one another, and where these areas diverge.

Will and Keith dive deep into a conversation around spirituality, their own personal experiences, the technologies used in spiritual traditions and the field of mental healthcare, and how these synergistic fields interact with each other in overcoming states of suffering and achieving wellness.
