Spiritual Life Foundation hasn't added a story.
A Safe Place
We are living in stressful times, bombarded with bad news, and isolated from friends and loved ones during a global pandemic. We struggle to make sense of things. We try to find compassion for each other. These are the kind of times that force us to look inward and decide what is truly important to us.
For some of us, these reflections are leading to a search for a deeper meaning in our lives. Some might call that meaning God, or Spirit, or the Divine. The name doesn’t matter, but the journey does.
The Spiritual Life Foundation is a safe, non-judgmental place to begin that journey.
Building an Open-minded Spiritual Community
The Spiritual Life Foundation (SLF) seeks to create a network of individuals and groups connected through either in-person gatherings or online meetings. The individuals can range from young adults to seniors. The SLF is open to all persons regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
The SLF affirms the principal values of open-mindedness, compassion, kindness, empathy, patience, integrity, and generosity.
A Collaborative Spirit
The SLF does not seek to compete with other institutions but to provide an additional resource for those wanting to expand their spiritual expression. The SLF believes individuals may be able to participant in a myriad of groups or religious forms. The SLF can enhance their exploration and expression of their self-defined spirituality.
For individuals who find themselves feeling alone or isolated in their spiritual exploration, the SLF may become a primary home for as long as it resonates with the individual. The SLF will not and should never be an authoritative presence for any individual. The SLF seeks to always be collaborative in all its relationships.
Personal and Organic
Our current and past endeavors include the following:
Personal Consultation and Collaboration: The SLF provides open and safe spaces for individuals and groups to speak freely about their own personal spiritual experience and explore emerging concepts and interdisciplinary forms of spirituality such as meditation, new science, metaphysics, psychic phenomenon, and artistic expression.
Projects and Workshops: From the SLF perspective, spirituality lies where people find a passion to bring forth something positive in life. The SLF encourages individuals to develop and present their own projects and workshops.
Currently, the SLF hosts the following online workshops:
- Enneagram Studies • Health and Wellness • Reiki
• Science and Spirituality • Ancient New Ways Studies - Astrology and Liberation • Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance.
Retreats: In 2022, SLF will host a wellness
retreat and a director’s retreat.
Support for New Experiences: Through the
consultative process, the SLF provides grants for individuals and
groups to experience new forms and expressions of spirituality.
In the future, SLF hopes to provide a quarterly e-journal, opportunities for travel to ancient spiritual sites, books, and podcasts.
Our Vision
The vision for the SLF is both humble and profound. We want to create a space where people feel safe to explore the yearnings of their souls and feel accepted in sharing their own expression of spirituality. We hope to be both an intellectual refuge and a place to feel emotionally supported. The eventual outcome is necessarily organic and dependent on our participants, but our intention is to start a ripple of peace and solace, and joy that continues to spread to our community and beyond.
Initially, the SLF will meet online or in person in an appropriate space.
In time, we envision the development of a "Spirit Wellness Center" where may find resources for expanding their spiritual experiences and perspectives.
Our Financial Need
In this our first year (2022), we hope to raise $25,000 to launch this new endeavor - creating a spiritual expression that is unique among the traditional American religious forms. Our teams are volunteers or part-time. Our costs are primarily administrative, site - rentals, program expenses, and developmental for future programming.
