For Robin Shohet and his co-contributors to this book, spiritual practice may be defined as the awareness there is something more to human existence than just us, as separate individuals. A spiritual perspective enables us to make deeper connections with ourselves, and accordingly with each other. We move from the finite game - that of measuring results and outcomes - to the infinite game, where creativity and new possibilities can emerge. In so doing, we transcend what Shohet argues is socially conditioned, fear-based separation from each other and everything around us. And this too isthe role and purpose of supervision, as explored in this book. Shohet brings togetheressays by counsellors and coaches from a diploma course on supervision asspiritual practice. Contributors write with brave honesty and vulnerabilityabout their journeys; how they came to embrace a state of not knowing, makingspace for greater depth and connection in the supervisory relationship whichcan translate into all relationships.
