My main comment is wondering how this institution can really be an accepted academic research center in psychology. Of course it should be, but its job description includes the term "spiritual". This is a fighting word in the current mainstream world of the sciences, especially neurobiology and evolutionary psychology.

Research on spirituality has become mainstream in the sense that the American Psychological Association has a division on the psychology of religion, and that division has started a new APA-affiliated journal entitled the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality.
