What we’re about
Do you consider yourself spiritual but not religious? Are you looking for a place to explore what this means? To enter into dialogue and community with others around spirituality?
This community is open to all who would like to explore their own and others' sense of spirituality by reading and discussing books on spirituality of all kinds: nature spirituality, women's and men's spirituality, spirituality inspired by Eastern religious traditions and also Western, spiritual takes on mythic traditions, spirituality and creativity, etc. The goal will be thoughtful and respectful conversation to inform ourselves more deeply of different spiritual and religious traditions, as well as to explore our own sense of spirituality in light of these traditions. Conversations may take place online or in person.
