After serving nearly thirty years in various aspects of higher education, Dr. James H. Young currently is a published spiritual author and program presenter, and widely collected documentary/fine art photographer. He has served with distinction as a teacher and distinguished professor of higher education, and in a variety of leadership positions, including President of State University of New York at Potsdam and Chancellor of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

Dr. Young is a graduate of the ecumenical School for Spiritual Directors at the Pecos Benedictine Monastery (NM), and served as the monastery’s first lay director of public relations and fund-raising, where he initiated an extensive religious arts program. Jim is co-founder and facilitator of the Arkansas Metaphysical Society in Eureka Springs, AR, and The Aristotle Group in Hot Springs, AR, where he also is the Interim Minister of the Creative Life Church (New Thought). A featured contributing author to PlanetLightworker and The Reki Times, spiritual monthly E-journals, Jim has received awards for spiritual poetry and prose, as well as for photographic images appearing in juried exhibitions worldwide.

Young faithfully follows his inner calling by writing about and leading others from various religious and spiritual traditions to the deeper, life-changing meaning and purpose for them. Jim’s writings, presentations and teachings reframe life’s journey, from one of separation and the chaos separation engenders across the spiritual threshold to Oneness, and the inner joy and peace that witness this perspective. Dr. Young is a gifted inspirational speaker who often uses life’s parables to convey spiritual meaning, and inspires others to look within for the Truth that transcends the superficial.
