ProSocial Spirituality is an emerging global initiative dedicated to integrating spiritual wisdom, contemplative practice, and evolutionary science in service of human flourishing and collective well-being. Its mission is to support individuals and groups in cultivating inner transformation that leads to ethical, cooperative, and compassionate action in the world.

Mission and Vision

The mission of ProSocial Spirituality is to bring spiritual practice into meaningful relationship with real-world challenges, helping people align inner life with outward responsibility. Its vision is a world in which spiritual traditions, contemplative practices, and ethical frameworks actively contribute to the healing of communities, institutions, and ecosystems—fostering cooperation, resilience, and care across differences.

ProSocial Spirituality draws on insights from contemplative traditions, behavioral science, and systems thinking to explore how spiritual values such as compassion, humility, interdependence, and moral responsibility can be translated into prosocial behavior at personal, organizational, and societal levels.

Core Focus

ProSocial Spirituality emphasizes:

• Integrating contemplative practice with ethical action
• Supporting spiritual leadership rooted in humility and service
• Applying evolutionary and systems science to cooperation and compassion
• Creating spaces for dialogue across spiritual and secular perspectives
• Bridging inner development with social and ecological responsibility

Relationship to the Charter for Compassion and Charter 2.0

ProSocial Spirituality is deeply aligned with the global mission of the Charter for Compassion, particularly its commitment to compassion as both an inner discipline and a public ethic. Within the framework of Charter 2.0, this partnership supports a more integrated understanding of compassion—one that connects spiritual depth with measurable impact and systemic change.

Charter 2.0 emphasizes the need for compassion to be cultivated, practiced, and embodied across all sectors of society. ProSocial Spirituality strengthens this vision by:

• Offering reflective and contemplative frameworks that deepen compassion practice
• Supporting ethical clarity and resilience among leaders and practitioners
• Helping translate spiritual insight into cooperative, prosocial action
• Providing language and tools that bridge secular and spiritual audiences

Within the Compassion Transformation Institute, ProSocial Spirituality contributes essential insight into the inner dimensions of transformation, ensuring that compassion-based education and leadership are grounded in wisdom, integrity, and lived experience. Together, ProSocial Spirituality and the Charter for Compassion affirm that meaningful societal change requires both inner transformation and collective responsibility.
