New Works of Transformation: Publications from the CIIS Community (2024–2025)

CIIS scholars continue to enrich the world of integral education with an extraordinary array of new books, chapters, articles and contributions across disciplines. From the contemplative roots of Upanishadic wisdom to the unfolding dialogues between AI and mythology, and from healing narratives that center marginalized voices to innovative expressions in neuroqueer theory, our faculty are expanding the horizon of what is possible.

This curated selection presents a meaningful cross-section of recent and forthcoming works from 2024 through 2025. While impressive in its breadth, it represents only a glimpse of the full spectrum of scholarly and creative output produced by the CIIS community. We invite you to explore these offerings and discover how our faculty’s research and creativity are shaping conversations in spirituality, ecology, psychology, philosophy, justice and beyond.
