Sir George Trevelyan: And the New Spiritual Awakening

Sir George Trevelyan: And the New Spiritual Awakening by Farrer, Frances. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780863153778.

The first biography of the man felt by many to be the grandfather of the movement for spiritual regeneration in Britain. Trevelyan espoused alternative values long before the phrase became popular. Trevelyan explored beliefs in angels, the calming effects of crystals and the power of ley lines, alongside organic farming and communal living. In 1971 he set up the Wrekin Trust to promote spiritual education and knowledge, and in 1982 he was awarded the Right Livelihood Award (the"alternative Nobel Prize") for his contribution to healing the planet. He encouraged the emerging synthesis between science and spirituality, putting his faith for the future of society in the transforming power of spiritual awakening. He taught extensively, inspiring communities, universities and spiritual groups worldwide. He died in 1996 at the age of ninety.
