Welcome to the EICWS Website
The EICWS was founded in May 2000 to provide educational opportunities and an international forum for understanding, experiencing, and participating in the rich diversity of the world's spiritual traditions. The EICWS achieves this by organising a major series of spiritual events in Scotland.

The EICWS was an events-led Scottish charity that worked with the world's spiritual and faith traditions, both in Scotland and internationally, seeking understandings of the nature of spirituality, and of interspirituality and intraspirituality, in its diversity.

The EICWS was formally wound up as a Scottish charity in 2008, and this website is now an archive website.

The Edinburgh International Centre for Spirituality and Peace, EICSP, 2007 - , continues the spiritual work previously undertaken by the former Edinburgh International Centre for World Spiritualities, EICWS, 2000-2008. See www.eicsp.org for details of the spiritual work of the EICSP, and www.mesp.org.uk for details for the annual Edinburgh International Festival of Middle Eastern Spirituality and Peace, MESP.
