Expanding the Circle of Universal Faith
Peoples Monastery is a modern interspiritual and intercultural sanctuary that is part theatre company, spiritual collective, education center and ritual altar. It is a living and evolving space rooted in building bridges, healing love, transformational reflection and creative expression. Participants involved in our gatherings are invited into a wonderfully ritualistic journey that incorporates contemplative practice, sacred wisdom, candid conversation and personal exploration. It serves as a spiritual safe space for those seeking a deeper connection with themselves, with the divine as they understand it, and within the world we all share.
“A ritual is a ceremony in which we call spirit to come and be the driver of our activities. The elements of ritual allow us to connect with the self, the community, and the natural forces around us. In ritual we call in spirit to show us obstacles that we cannot see because of our limitations as human beings. Ritual helps us to remove blocks standing between us and our true spirits.”
