Andrew Cohen: Spiritual teacher & founder of EnlightenNext
Founder of EnlightenNext
an emerging culture
In 1988, Andrew Cohen established EnlightenNext, a nonprofit organization committed to a
single-pointed goal: to help create a new moral, philosophical, and spiritual framework for
the 21st century. Inspired by Cohen's ongoing investigation into the meaning and purpose of
enlightenment for today's world, EnlightenNext is exploring—through print, online media,
public events, and collective inquiry—a wholly positive direction for humanity's future.
