Emerging Proud is a Human Rights campaign. We’re entering a new evolutionary period for humanity, it’s time we normalised spiritual experiences to end stigma and the pathologising of them; International #Emerging Proud day aims to initiate this on 12th May 2017! Normalising spiritual experiences is fundamentally a Human Rights issue. Article 9 of the Human Rights Act states a right to Freedom of thought, belief and Religion. And yet certain spiritual beliefs are still being pathologised as mental illness. Will you #emergeproud to help the shift?

May 12th will then mark INTERNATIONAL #EMERGING PROUD DAY every year from then on…"
