As a minister turned designer, I combine a grounded empathy and a builder’s imagination to reweave our missing moral infrastructure. I lead the San Francisco Contemplarium as its Founding Director, and write a personal ideas newsletter at Moral Infrastructure.
I have been a practicer of human-centered strategy, innovation, and design in the private and public sectors for more than three decades. As I've searched for ways to may such work more personally fulfilling and meaningful for myself, I've sought the intersection between my professional expertise and my cultural and spiritual heritage. I now use my expertise to help engender a new generation of innovation to serve Jewish people who seek a connection to Judaism that today's institutions struggle to satisfy.

Interspiritual minister, spiritual director, and sacred activist who lives, works, and plays in Brooklyn, NY. I'm obsessed with the question of what sparks consciousness change on both the personal and collective level. Some responses to that question look like cultivating alternative forms of spiritual community for activists and changemakers, as well as dreaming up and leading bold, creative, and moving direct action in the public sphere. I'm currently bringing together people for shared meals, sacred conversations, and singing with Brooklyn Center for Sacred Activism.
I serve as the executive for digital community at United Women in Faith, where I find deep joy in work that's focused on connection and community-building. Curious about rooting deep, building webs, and human-centered design. MDiv from Drew Theological School, recipient of the Technology, Innovation and Digital Engagement Lab fellowship for faith leaders in 2024-2025. Based in NJ with my spouse, toddlers, and rescue dog.
I grew up secular and when people I loved died, my interest in the role of ritual in public life began. My participatory installations invite anonymous testimonies of desire, dread, sorrow, hope, and courage from the public, challenging norms of visibility and modes of communion. Before I Die has been created in over 5,000 cities across 75 countries. After the End was a 2021 New York Times Critic’s Pick.
Born in the U.S., I grew up in a culture that champions individual expression while living in a Taiwanese household where Chinese calligraphy was worshipped as both personal and spiritual art. This instilled my reverence for the handwritten word, which I have utilized for most of my installations. As the steward of hundreds of thousands of handwritten reflections on life in the early 21st century, I use these fragments in paintings and videos that explore the nature of language, desire, ritual, and our relation to the past.
Inspirations include the speculative worlds of Philip K. Dick and David Lynch, the humanistic visions of city life by Jane Jacobs and Juhani Pallasmaa, the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and Byung-Chul Han, and the laid-back curiosity of Zhuangzi.
LIGHT Movement is an interfaith grief-healing organization rooted in the belief that no one should grieve alone. We create accessible, community-centered spaces where people can explore their grief with compassion, connection, and support.
Our work brings together ritual, somatic practice, meaningful conversation, and gentle movement to nurture mind-body-spirit integration. Through classes, workshops, retreats, and gatherings, we help people feel held, seen, and supported across the many forms grief can take.
Our signature event—the Night to Illuminate Grief—invites faith leaders, chaplains, healers, and community members from diverse traditions to co-create a shared ritual of remembrance. Held in person across Colorado and virtually, this gathering reminds people that grief is universal, love is enduring, and community makes healing possible.
LIGHT Movement draws from interfaith spiritual traditions and trauma-informed community healing approaches. We welcome collaboration with innovators exploring grief support, somatic and spiritual care, interfaith ritual, and collective healing.
Our mission is simple and unwavering: to remind every person experiencing loss that they are not alone, and that grief—when met with community—can be held with tenderness, dignity, and hope.

Numadelic Labs is a nonprofit research and creative hub dedicated to developing and ethically applying transformative technologies that support human flourishing through Awareness, Connection, and Insight. The term numadelic - meaning “spirit-manifesting” or “spirit-revealing” - reflects our commitment to designing experiences that expand conscious awareness and evoke a sense of belonging to something greater than oneself.
Working at the intersection of neuroscience, immersive technology, contemplative practice, and art, we seed and support the creation of tools and environments that foster healing, relational depth, and spiritual growth. Our current initiatives include XR-assisted group therapy for social anxiety and end-of-life distress, numadelic VR protocols to enhance lucid dreaming, and a compassion training platform inspired by the Buddhist practice of Tonglen.
While numadelics were originally conceived as VR experiences, we are also exploring non-VR modalities that evoke similar states of presence and insight. As a transdisciplinary, international , and intercultural collective - with hubs in Spain and UK as well as the US - we aim to cultivate technologies that are emotionally attuned, scientifically grounded, and in service of the flourishing of all life.
Our Mission
The Trinity Foundation exists to foster planetary transformation through anthropological change management, systems innovation, and the emerging field of postmaterialist science.

Our Method

• Targeted Grant Distribution and Consciousness-based Education
Why It Matters
Humanity faces simultaneous crises of ecology, meaning, and governance. Old paradigms are collapsing. What comes next must be designed with care. We believe the future belongs to those who can integrate consciousness science, cultural renewal, and systems design into actionable, elegant frameworks for change.
Who We Serve

What the Hispanic Scholars Program set out to achieve from its inception as the “Hispanic Summer Program” in 1989 was to supplement and enrich the theological and ministerial education being offered in seminaries and universities with academic courses and other programs directly addressing Latinx history, ministry and theology. As an ecumenical and inter-religious program, it seeks to heal the divisions in the Latinx community fueled by denominational and theological differences. As a Latinx program, the HSP tries to find ways to restore connections and build bridges between Latinx and non-Latinx communities, among others, by enhancing the awareness and appreciation that non-Latinx scholars, ministers, and administrators have of Latinx contributions to the past, present, and future of our religious institutions and our nation.With over fourteen programmatic offerings in the areas of education, professional development, mentorship, and public scholarship, the Hispanic Scholars Program empowers thousands of leaders annually with tools for serving the Latine community.

The ZISL Model
The ZISL Model is built around four core concepts which are incorporated into everything we do: Spiritual Authenticity, Mindful Community Training, Co-Created Community, and Sustainable Living
Spiritual Authenticity is at the heart of our communities, deeply rooted in the Soto Zen tradition, and the Buddhist ideals of mindfulness, meditation, inquiry, and compassion. Our first community, Enso Village, was created with 10% of the housing available for retired Zen teachers who help provide a basis of Zen study and meditation to the programming on offer.
Each community has a full-time spiritual director who helps with Mindful Community training and assures the zen inspired authenticity and values integration. Each community also has a meditation hall and program director/meditation hall coordinator who helps program the space in terms of both educational and meditation offerings.
Mindful Community Training offers a way of approaching each other with compassion and mindfulness throughout all the ways we care for each other in our communities. Designed in partnership with the Zen Caregiving Project, our unique approach is provided in our training for staff but also available to all interested residents.
Co-created Community provides a constructive and participatory governance model for an intentional residential community. Our approach is inspired by over 50 years of community living in San Francisco Zen Center’s three campuses. We have developed a set of guiding principles that describe how we use interdisciplinary teams and consensus-building in the decision-making process to consider the people who will be affected by our choices. We recognize that our ability to live in accordance with our principles depends on the wellbeing of all of our resources— including people, land, buildings, finances and community agreements—and we collectively care for them with transparent, human-centered practices.
Enso Village opened in November of 2023.
The Unique Self Institute advances a pioneering spiritual (human) framework that integrates enlightenment and evolution, science and spirit, East and West. Founded by visionary philosopher Dr. Marc Gafni and integral master coach Claire Molinard, our work goes beyond interfaith dialogue or new-age eclecticism to articulate a unifying vision of what it means to be fully human in an evolving cosmos. We see the global meta-crisis and breakdown of meaning as an invitation to catalyze profound transformation to a new identity for a truly global civilization.
At the heart of our teaching is the realization that each person is a Unique Self—a unique expression of the interconnected and unified field of LoveIntelligence. We are not separate egos seeking transcendence, nor merely impersonal drops dissolving into oneness, but distinct manifestations of the infinite field of being, participating in the evolutionary unfolding of the cosmos toward greater wholeness and interconnectivity, indeed greater love.
Through Unique Self Coaching, courses, books, and videos, we offer practical pathways for transforming ego fixation into creative contribution, and awakening from alienation into participation in the Evolutionary Love Story of the universe.
Our approach combines developmental psychology, contemplative practice, and philosophical rigor into a coherent technology of transformation—bridging the interior sciences of awakening with the outer work of contributing to a better world.
Unique Self Institute: where enlightenment meets embodiment, and spiritual realization becomes evolutionary activism. We are dedicated to the radical democratization of greatness through a new story of human identity.
We are committed to strengthening communities through unity, education, and cultural preservation. Our organization fosters understanding across faith traditions, empowers children through quality early learning experiences, ensures access to nutritious food for all families, and celebrates the rich heritage of minority communities.
Through interfaith dialogue, we bridge divides and build lasting relationships rooted in mutual respect. Through early childhood education, we provide every child with the foundation they need to thrive. Through food security initiatives, we address hunger and promote community wellness. Through heritage preservation, we honor diverse cultures and ensure their stories continue to inspire future generations.
Together, we create inclusive communities where every person is valued, every child can learn and grow, every family has access to basic needs, and every culture is celebrated and preserved for posterity.
At Temple of the Forgotten, we understand the crucial nature of non-denominational spiritual care for the unhoused. This is why we are dedicated to educating our communities, training ministers & chaplains, and advocating for the innovative, life changing work of the street chaplain. We believe that true change begins in the community. Through carefully developed programs and workshops, we have found a way to transform and inspire communities to approach the issues of homelessness and trauma from a place of deep compassion, care, and a desire to help. Temple of the Forgotten is committed to helping communities across the U.S. transform their approach to homelessness by addressing the spiritual, relational, and emotional well-being of people experiencing poverty, homelessness, and local incarceration.
We believe that everyone, regardless of their life circumstance, deserves community and care.

The FJN is an international community devoted to making it easier for journalists to get the resources they need to source, pitch and produce stories on topics surrounding the mysteries of human experience, such as the nature of consciousness; the relationship between mind, body and spirit; the truth and purpose of faith and wisdom traditions; the science of spirituality; and the ‘big questions’ of life and the universe. In addition to helping editorial professionals get story leads and cover these topics, we train the research community (academics, scientists, practitioners) on how to engage positively with the press.
At the Fetzer Institute, we are helping build the spiritual foundation for a loving world. We believe that a shared sacred worldview — one that honors the interconnectedness of all life and the love at the heart of the Sacred — can guide humanity toward greater wholeness and flourishing. Our work centers on strategies to foster spiritual transformation in several sectors, including religion, science, philanthropy, media, organizational development, public life, the environment, and spiritual innovation. In collaboration with others who are integrating contemplative practice, scientific insight, and social transformation, we seek to create cultures, systems, and stories that make the Sacred visible in public life — and nurture a world grounded in love, belonging, and shared flourishing.
Our work in the spiritual innovation sector focuses on network weaving and field building. We convene a collaborative of 12 organizations who are key leaders in the sector, and we support their work in spiritual innovation. In a changing religious landscape, we support the emergence of Spiritual Innovation as a new field to meet the needs of spiritual seekers within faith traditions, at the creative edges of religion, and in secular spaces outside the traditions.
We offer silence in unexpected places — for example, in a lively cultural venue in our city. We seek a language that resonates with people who have become estranged from religion. In our project Care for the Carers, which supports healthcare professionals in their self-care, we collaborate with partners in medicine, such as the Palliative Care Center at the University Hospital.

The mission of the Center for Faith and Enterprise is to help people find ways to experience a deeper sense of purpose, fulfillment, and community in their work lives by tapping into their own faith or spirituality.
We are especially interested in hearing from people who might like to share thoughts or collaborate.
As our work has progressed, we have become convinced that many people possess a deep, intuitive faith or spirituality that, although sometimes overlooked, can be powerful and life-giving. We look for ways to help people (including ourselves) connect with this deep resource and allow it to become a source of strength and purpose in their work lives.

We are deeply interested in how people today understand “spiritual,” especially those no longer connected to organized religion. Our aim is to listen, to learn from diverse experiences, and to share our own insights rooted in the Christian tradition. In doing so, we seek to contribute meaningfully to postsecular contexts where faith, meaning, and belonging are being reimagined.
At the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC), we believe that transformation begins with learning to see and love the world as it is. Through everyday Christian contemplative wisdom and practices, we support those seeking healing—within themselves and in the world around them.Founded by Richard Rohr in 1987, our work is rooted in a long tradition of Christian contemplation but presented in ways that meet people where they are today. Whether through teachings, practices, or community engagement, our goal is to help people live out this wisdom in practical ways—so that they become instruments of love, peacemaking, and positive change in the world.
All are welcome. We foster care that is responsive to all individuals, regardless of present or past spiritual or religious affiliation (including none), race, nationality, sexual orientation, ability, and gender identity. We convene organizations, institutions, individuals and stakeholders interested in any facet of chaplaincy.We respect differences. We do not seek to proselytize, convert, or otherwise convince others of a particular religious or spiritual conviction. We support a professional field cognizant of and responsive to cultural and individual differences in all forms.We value learning together. We believe collaboration leverages our strengths and expands community benefits. People doing the work of spiritual care can learn much from (and with) one another beyond their specific setting. Engaging those who become, train or work with chaplains fortifies the foundation for our field. Similarly, we nurture connections with social scientists, religious leaders, and civic leaders. We believe that spiritual care is best provided through collaboration across disciplines and communitiesWe are research-driven. We gather, foster, and share rigorous academic research about the provision of spiritual care across a range of settings to enhance best practices and improve delivery of care. We privilege applied, praxis-oriented research and feedback loops that include clients, practitioners, educators and researchers in a way that strengthens the work of spiritual care.
Kesher Pittsburgh is a post-denomination, independent community underpinned by Jewish values, rhythms and practices. We seek to build a village-minded community which celebrates life’s joys and supports through life’s challenges. Our guiding values + principles include:

We are in a process of transformation, where we know our free and inquiring faith, commitment to equality, and focus on justice are needed, but many of our existing congregations are being stewarded by a very small number of people, with little capacity to welcome the people they might serve.

Living Stories Sermons transforms the Sunday sermon into a shared act of storytelling and interpretation. Rooted in the Episcopal tradition yet adaptable across denominations, Living Stories combines lectionary-based scripts, tactile storytelling with wooden figures and underlays, and open-ended wondering questions to invite whole congregations—children, adults, and elders—into co-creating the sermon together.
Our mission is simple: to make proclamation participatory. Instead of one voice interpreting Scripture, Living Stories trusts that the Spirit speaks through many voices. The preacher becomes a facilitator, guiding conversation and weaving insights into a communal experience of God’s Word.
We create and share resources—scripts, guides, training materials—and support a growing network of preachers experimenting with this method in their own contexts. Already, more than 40 preachers in 19+ congregations have tried Living Stories, discovering that it deepens belonging, nurtures intergenerational connection, and brings Scripture alive in fresh ways.
We are eager to connect with fellow innovators exploring participatory worship, intergenerational formation, and collaborative leadership. We bring expertise in curriculum design, theological grounding, and building supportive peer-learning cohorts. Together, we can learn how worship practices that honor every voice help communities heal, flourish, and embody the radical welcome of Christ.

At The Nurturing Place, we’re building a centralized hub for each local community to learn, heal and grow – a community of curious souls who come together to engage in therapy, support groups, classes, on the playground or in the library, both in-person and online, all year long.
Where Sacred Traditions Meet Bold Experiments. For more than a decade, Glean Network has supported spiritual innovators to reimagine the role of faith in our changing world. Discover how innovation and design-thinking can strengthen your leadership, grow your vision, and serve your community in new ways.
We are a multi-religious and Unitarian Universalist seminary preparing religious leaders for the future of religion and spirituality. We have been helping folx get into ministry, spiritual care, and chaplaincy for over 100 years. At the heart of the work that we do is a commitment to countering oppressions in ourselves and in the larger world.
Judaism Unbound is an expansive and radically inclusive digital-first Jewish organization for people who want to discover innovative Jewish ideas, practices, and communities. Judaism Unbound imagines a Jewish future full of “Unbounders” who will develop transformative toolboxes for Jewish engagement, experiment with Jewish theory and practice, and craft new links in the chain of tradition, ultimately bringing about new versions of Judaism that awaken and sustain the universal aspiration to live a meaningful life.
Judaism Unbound’s podcasts and the classes in our UnYeshiva (digital center for Jewish learning and unlearning) feature leading thinkers and practitioners engaged in bold, sometimes-transgressive spiritual experiments. They aim to offer inspiration and models for how one might build a Judaism of meaning. Partnership and collaboration with these brilliant thinkers, and with the Unbounders who are drawn to this approach, are baked into everything that we do.
The Jewish world that we have known is crashing, and a new Jewish world is on the horizon. But getting there is not inevitable. It will require new ideas, new leaders, and new communities.
Beloved supports open-hearted, passionate spiritual leaders who are creating new spaces of sacred belonging; training and resourcing these spiritual leaders is at the heart of our mission. In a crashing, crumbling moment for our country and the Jewish community, our Beloved leaders and their people practice living into a new (old) world where religion is a force for interconnectedness, wisdom, and love.
We make it easy to meet neighborly people & to practice neighborly skills. We learn from the latest research in kindness, gratitude, parenting, friendship, etc.
and create in-person gatherings where we can practice together. We're always looking for new resources and partners. Other topics include:
- Generosity
- Curiosity
- Dying
- Listening
- Compassion
- Patience
- Loving-kindness
- Connection
- And the like.
Some years ago, a small group of friends recognized our need to slow down. Like many people, we felt overwhelmed by the speed of life and found little space for reflection. We created spaces where we could explore an important question we all shared: How are we going to be in the world?
We found a rhythm for reading, watching films, eating, and walking together. We shared stories, songs, poems, paintings, and nature. They inspired us to tell stories about our lives. Our shared encounters evolved into this movement we call Nexus. Today, Nexus has a presence in over fifteen countries in Europe, North America, and Asia.
The mission of Nexus is to create space for the voice and story of everybody. Learning to listen to life, we turn people towards and for one another.
“I have come that they might have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10
We envision human beings engaging with money as an expression of divine love for the well being of all. We envision communities in which people of all genders, faiths, races, cultures are able to work, celebrate, and worship in their unique particularity together. We envision economic systems that ensure that every human being has access to the material resources necessary to sustain life and that honor and respect all of creation.
Rooted in the wisdom and prophetic traditions of Christianity, Wisdom & Money invites people of wealth and people from a culture of wealth to engage with money as a doorway to spiritual transformation at the personal, communal and systemic levels.
This is accomplished by:
- Convening small circles for transformational conversation and spiritual practice
- Providing training in spiritual practices that support inner transformation, build authentic community, and sustain equitable and diverse partnerships.
- Inspiring participants to undertake bold experiments with money that create unity across historical divisions and nurture abundance for all.
- Making publicly available practical examples and personal reflections on the ways that money can be used in alignment with divine love
- Partnering with aligned organizations and working in groups of people of financial diversity
We help churches slow down long enough to hear what matters: God’s voice, the dreams of their congregation, and the deep longings of their neighbors. Rooted in spiritual disciplines and grounded in context, our resources guide you through a process of intentional listening that leads to clarity, compassion, and Spirit-driven action.
The Gaia Games is reimagining sport as a living ceremony — a global festival that unites athletes, fans, artists, and communities in play, music, ritual, and ecological stewardship. Born from decades within high-performance sport and the recognition of its limits, our mission is to shift the paradigm: from medals to meaning, from extraction to regeneration, from spectacle to connection.
At its heart, the Gaia Games is both deeply ancient and radically new. We draw from indigenous knowledge systems, neuroscience, and transformative festival culture to design experiences where competition inspires, but play, presence, and joy heal. Music — with a capital M — forms the pulse, weaving rhythm, ceremony, and coherence into the Games. Partnerships with projects like the Global Coherence Project 2.0 allow us to measure transformation not just in outcomes, but in heartbeats and collective states.
We are eager to learn from others experimenting at the edges of spirituality, culture, and systems change. We hold expertise in the world of sport but seek to collaborate with artists, healers, innovators, and wisdom keepers who are equally passionate about creating regenerative, soul-aligned alternatives to the systems making us sick. Together, we can play our way into a new story.
The Thread is an emerging interfaith/interspiritual seminary and spiritual education organization. We are grounded in several core principles:
Interspirituality: We honor many traditions—none as dominant, all as sacred.
Embodiment: The body is a site of wisdom, memory, and transformation.
Relational Learning: We grow in connection, not isolation.
Nature as Teacher: The natural world reflects our cycles of growth, decay, rest, and renewal. We look to its rhythms as sacred guidance.
Practices Over Performance: We value what is lived—not what is polished.
Truth-Telling: Staying with what is, not rushing to resolution. This is a space for complexity, not easy answers.
Grief touches every life, yet our culture often isolates us in it.
The Grievery offers another way: a place to pause, to be witnessed, and to discover how grief can open us into deeper compassion, connection, and aliveness.
Here, grief is not treated as a problem to solve but as a sacred teacher. We gather to remember that grief is not meant to be carried alone—it is meant to be tended together. Through trainings, workshops, and communal rituals, we create spaces of belonging where people can explore grief as a pathway to resilience and care.
Our work is shaped by somatic practices and community-based ritual, while remaining attentive to the unique needs and wisdom that each circle brings forward. The Grievery is both a community of practice and a resource, offering tender space, transformative learning, and practices that nurture communal care around loss and transition.
We are eager to continue learning how to create gatherings that foster connection across difference, promote relational care, and to collaborate with others who are reimagining how spirituality meets the realities of our times.
The Collective Healing Lab is a soulful communal wellness initiative rooted in the Boise Treasure Valley. We draw on the ancestral wisdom of the village mindset to reimagine how people gather, heal, and flourish together. We translate many models of human wellness into communal programs, practices, and publications that ground people's sense of self in a community of earnest belonging and reciprocal care.
The Center for Transforming Engagement is a PNW-based nonprofit born out of The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. Our groundbreaking work and research focuses on building the personal, team, and organizational resilience needed to face the challenges of a fractured world in a post-Christendom context. The Center's leadership comes from a variety of faith traditions and our work is cross-denominational, serving clergy, nonprofit leaders, artists, therapists and others in the helping professions. Our methods are deeply rooted in traditional Christian messages of hope, restoration and relationship, yet we recognize that the old ways of doing ministry need a reboot, so we offer alternatives to traditional models of leadership that have caused harm. We long for a paradigm shift that allows us to dig deeply into our call in a fresh and more sustaining way and we are reimaging what ministry and leadership can look like within our complex, modern context.
St. Lydia’s is a church that gathers to share a sacred meal, as the first followers of Jesus did. Simple unaccompanied music is sung, scripture explored, and prayers offered, all in the context of a home-cooked meal. We regard practice before belief, trusting that eating, praying and singing together moves congregants deeper into faith. Instead of trying to figure out what a shared orthodoxy (right beliefs) might be, Lydians are trying to find what a shared orthopraxy (right living) looks like. This offers a place of healing and growth, particularly for people seeking a faith or spiritual life but who have been harmed by the Church.
We are an Episcopal church in Oakland, CA, pursuing wholeness by celebrating the mystery of Christ through human connection, stories & conversation, and meaningful ritual. Our aim and our hope is to build a space where folks who have left the more conservative, biblical literalist traditions of Christianity can find a home to return, heal, and grow.
Soul Seated Journey pioneers evidence-based pathways to human flourishing by integrating contemplative wisdom, compassion science, and transformative practices. We guide emerging adults through life's pivotal transitions—not just to heal, but to transform suffering into strength, wisdom, and compassionate leadership.
We are:
- A unique organization bridging ancient wisdom with modern science through validated frameworks.
- A transformation catalyst that sees suffering as the soil from which gifts grow.
- A community-driven ecosystem for emerging adults navigating modern life transitions.
- A pioneer in "applied spirituality"—making profound practices accessible and actionable.
We are dedicated to meeting the challenge of spiritual crisis among young adults today. Our approach meets young adults where they are, while guiding them to who they're becoming.
We are eager to connect with other spiritual innovators and catalysts in the field. Together we can build culture and shift narrative around the place of spirituality and contemplative wisdom in modern society.
We are committed to forming and launching 150 Spiritual Directors by 2033.
Why? Because the world is aching. It has been sold the delusion that capitalism is the dominant religion, and people are left fragmented and weary. The relentless pace of life warps our sense of time and possibility. Even our own Unitarian Universalist movement is navigating liminal times, seeking to reconstruct a bold and loving future.
Spiritual Direction offers a way forward. It cultivates spiritual maturity, courage, and imagination. It creates the pause we need to slow down our meaning-making and surrender our certainties, making room for Spirit to move.
The Spiritual Direction Formation & Certification program at Meadville Lombard equips and forms lay leaders, ordained clergy, professional religious leaders, and spiritual seekers with the skills and orientations to be compassionate, creative, and certified spiritual directors.
At its heart, the program is grounded in hospitality (belonging), liberation (becoming), and sustainability (beyond). These values are embodied through deep, radical listening practices that reconnect people to their authentic selves and to the God—or holy mystery—of their understanding.
This is healing work. This is liberating work. And the world needs it now.
Shomer Collective envisions a world where end-of-life matters are spoken about openly, thoughtfully, and frequently, creating opportunities for many more people to engage with Jewish wisdom, values, and practices.
These conversations and experiences can be transformational, having an impact not only on the person who is dying but on whole family and community systems.
Shalom Quest endeavours to provide resources that will support people in the search for their own unique spiritual path. These resources will come in the form of professionally made 15-minute films around themes like ‘Spirituality’, ‘Community’, and ‘Wellbeing’. The films will also support conversation groups stimulating interaction with others as they think through how to respond. Also, we will be developing carefully crafted Apps to continue supporting participants as they journey forward exploring and experimenting with universal life-giving values day by day. There will be two other powerful resources to support Shalom Quest. The first will be our Inter-spirituality Circle, which will be made up of active participants from every expression of spiritual understanding, who will be free to speak into what we are doing, make suggestions, and be available for participants to talk to. They will also act as advisors to our other resource the ‘Living Values Project.’ This project will identify all known life-giving values, mapping them to show their inter-relationship to every other value, plus exploring how they are each understood in many different cultures. Finally, we call our project ‘Shalom Quest’ because in Hebrew ‘shalom’ is understood the be the source of every life-giving value.
The purpose of the San Francisco Contemplarium is to create space in our neighborhoods to honor the human journey. We offer regular neighborhood rituals, physical installations, and lay support for neighbors to dignify life’s joys, sorrows, and transitions with the respect and care they deserve. Our work is powered by community volunteers – the Neighborhood Flamekeepers – who continuously develop skills of presence, ritual, and accompaniment while supporting each other.
We focus on the neighborhood as the primary locus of belonging, piloting this approach in the greater Hayes Valley area with plans to expand throughout San Francisco.. Our participants span generations and backgrounds, reflecting our neighborhood’s diversity. Our vision is a city where everybody's humanity is honored through accessible spiritual infrastructure woven into the fabric of daily life.
The Jewish ritual of shiva can be incredibly powerful for mourners, but challenging to orchestrate. Too often, it falls on mourners to plan shiva for themselves, because many of us have lost our “shiva circle”—the close-knit village of friends, clergy, and acquaintances who, for millennia, would step in and organize any time there was a death in a Jewish family.
By removing the burden, Shiva Circle unlocks the power of shiva to help people feel held by Jewish tradition and community. We provide accessible resources; digital tools that make it easy for friends and family to organize shiva and to help; and volunteer Shiva Guides who support mourners in prioritizing their needs and creating a shiva experience that’s right for them.
Get involved by joining a Shiva Circle workshop where you will learn how to hold space for mourners with compassion and care. These live, interactive sessions are designed to empower you with a deep understanding of Jewish mourning rituals and practical guidance for supporting mourners.
Prairie Sky Counseling Center is reimagining what community-based mental health care can look like when rooted in creativity, cultural humility, and spiritual integration. Our mission is to ensure that healing is accessible to all—regardless of income, insurance, or background—through a collaborative model that embeds counselors in trusted community spaces such as nonprofits, arts organizations, and faith communities. This lowers barriers, reduces stigma, and meets people where they already gather.
We believe healing is most powerful when the fullness of a person’s experience is honored. Our clinicians are trained to hold race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and spirituality as integral parts of identity. For some, faith and spiritual traditions are sources of resilience; for others, they have been sources of trauma. Prairie Sky provides space for clients to explore these dimensions in ways that support their growth, while offering evidence-based care that is not prescriptive but deeply responsive.
We are eager to connect with other innovators exploring how spiritual wisdom, cultural humility, and mental health can intersect. Together, we can imagine new ecosystems of care that restore belonging, cultivate resilience, and honor both the sacred and the everyday in human healing.
Our work ripples & snakes across various realms & disciplines. Worlds we touch include: Art & Design, Social Practice, Nightlife & Festival, Spirituality, Intersectional Environmentalism, and Wellness & Healing. Our toolkit includes collective ritual, body moves, guided meditation, sound design, storytelling, and installation.
Founded in 2009, Sacred Threads is a Boston-based, non-denominational nonprofit organization that meets the unique spiritual needs of women across many different backgrounds and stages of life. We provide a spiritual home at Sacred Threads for women to delve beneath the surface of their lives, uncovering places of connection, growth, and inspiration. We welcome all who are seeking opportunities to explore a more vibrant and transformative spiritual life to join us.
The Neuro-Relational Integration Model (NRI) emerged from doctoral work mapping how neural systems integration is spiritual praxis, creating emergent properties that enable thriving, not just surviving. We understand salvation as wholeness-making, experienced through neural integration within and between humans. Wholeness-making generates functional harmony between differentiated parts—in individuals, organizations, and communities.
Our offerings include:
Dynamic Integration Workshops transform evolutionary mismatch into integrated coherence through the NRI Spiral, linking Mind(IQ)–Body(SQ)–Relational Spirit(SEQ) in real-time applications.
NRI Integration Coaching for individuals and small groups addresses how evolutionary mismatch manifests in life and leadership, expanding coherence capacity through tailored neuro-relational practices.
NRI Coherence Labs—90-minute weekly micro-communities practicing integration, identifying fragmentation patterns, and building lasting coherence.
We translate neuroscience into accessible embodied practices and analyze how systems create neural dysregulation. We help leaders in faith-based and professional spaces understand their three neural systems as organizational infrastructure.
We're eager to learn from traditions that long practiced what neuroscience now validates and collaborate with innovators addressing wholeness-making through somatic praxis.
Our work demonstrates that transformation requires addressing neural architecture, not just belief systems. Human evolution occurs through practice—one integrated neural system creating coherent fields enabling others to transform.

The goal of The Center is not to give answers, but by using stories, poetry, music, general teaching, and conversation, the Center exists to create a safe place for others to find their own path toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is a new platform and design studio that explores the intersection of wisdom, culture and technology. We exist to inspire a new generation of leaders, designers and builders to create technology with spirit.
Founded by Peaboody Futures Award winner Anna Gerber, HUWD is guided by spiritually intelligent design principles that serve human flourishing, relational integrity and systemic knowledge. We believe tech with spirit is about building technology with ethical depth and inner wisdom – not just speed and scale.
We stand for: Building Beloved Community. From Oakland to the World.
Building Beloved Community is a global vision in which all people can share in the wealth of the earth. In The Beloved Community, poverty, hunger, and homelessness will not be tolerated because sacred standards of love and human decency will not allow it.
Embrace builds beloved community by providing a multi-cultural, multispiritual platform for social entrepreneurs, spiritual innovators and liberation leaders. Together, we co-create access to the spiritual, social and material resources needed to make our greatest contribution to the world.
This vision, articulated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., is the same vision that our ancestors have been dreaming for generations, and that indigenous peoples and wisdom traditions around the world have been reminding us of.
Just as royalty once commissioned the great artists of their time, at Creative Muse Studios, we are creative conduits translating your essence into a brand that feels soulful, magnetic, and true. Our work exists to elevate you —to make sure your boldest visions have the bones and beauty to back them up. This is a studio for leaders who move differently — and we’re here to build a brand that’s as powerful as your purpose. Our role is to make you unforgettable through branding, styling and design — to tell your story and bring your visions to life.
Together, we support each other as we continue to share our wisdom and resources while seeking to connect leaders of emerging contemplative communities with the Christian contemplative movement at large.
Colourful Women exists to inspire, empower, and uplift women by sharing stories of resilience, faith, and growth. We are building a vibrant community where women can rise above life’s challenges, live with purpose, and flourish together! We are celebrating the beauty of diversity and the power of shared inspiration.
Our mission is to provide a safe, participatory, and holy space to foster spiritual growth deepening our love for God, ourselves, neighbors, and all of creation. We are a hub for Christian contemplative prayer, spiritual practice, and living.
In communion with others we participate in the Christ mystery through contemplative practice, learning, growing, and doing life together. Through this sacramental tapestry, we and our world are transformed.
Faith Matters Network is an organization that uses womanist wisdom to support spiritually-grounded leaders in their work for personal and communal healing. We believe in the power of accompaniment and seek to build a vast network of changemakers. Through our core program areas—including Learning Journeys for deep spiritual formation, Movement Chaplaincy which provides support for activists, and Spiritual Innovation which explores the future of faith—we empower leaders to advance justice and create belonging. We are eager to connect with other innovators who share our commitment to equity and collective flourishing, and we have deep expertise in building spiritually centered leadership.
1504 is a narrative studio that integrates strategic communications with the visual arts. Our practice is interdisciplinary and in service of the common good.
We humanize complexity with a journalistic focus, bridging strategy and creativity to translate across disciplines. We have produced initiatives for organizations such as the National Endowment for the Arts, Equal Justice Initiative, and Columbia Records.
In our work and, more importantly, our process, we embrace nondualism and contemplative traditions in hopes of staying present in a world of distraction. Within this dialogue, we pursue stories that immerse us in the human condition and belief that, ultimately, the finding is in the seeking.
We are based, but not biased, in the American South, the frontlines of many complex issues where we draw inspiration from the rural landscape, oral traditions, and the presence of ghosts.
At The Verse, we create games, experiences, and rituals that uplift humanity. We are a global community of gamers, developers, designers, scientists, artists, visionaries, teachers, and students—each of us contributing our expertise to invent experiences that foster human flourishing.
At The Verse, we embrace the power of play to redefine how people learn, create, connect, and heal through gaming. Our approach fosters personal growth and explores critical issues like mental health and social impact, using play as a foundation. We build games with Breathwork Mechanics & Prosocial Mechanics.
