Fetzer Institute

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.
