  • OneTable

    Inspired by ancient Jewish wisdom, OneTable is a national non-profit that empowers folks (21-39ish) to find, share, and enjoy Shabbat dinners, making the most of their Friday nights.

  • Green Sabbath Project

    Our main focus is education and advocacy. Our mission is to spark a mass movement of observance of a weekly day of rest -- shabbat, sabbath, a green sabbath or a weekly earth day -- on which impact on the environment is minimized as much as possible. We envision individuals and groups choosing whichever day is most meaningful to them. While inspired by ancient religious sources, the green sabbath is a self-consciously refashioned ritual practice aimed at addressing current realities. As taken up by individuals and communities, it may or may not be connected to organized religion or God.

  • The Academy for Spiritual Formation

    The Academy for Spiritual Formation creates transformative space for people to be in communion with God, self, others, and creation for the sake of the world.

    Our vision is for The Academy to be a movement that helps reshape the way pilgrims conceive of and live out the Christian life — a way that is rooted in and flows from God’s spirit and action in the world.

    The Academy movement hopes to lead the way in forming Christian communities that embrace the multicultural, multi-ethnic, interfaith landscape of the 21st century for the transformation of the world.

  • The Fetzer Institute

    At the Fetzer Institute, we believe in the possibility of a loving world: a world where we understand we are all part of one human family and know our lives have purpose. In the world we seek, everyone is committed to courageous compassion and bold love—powerful forces for good in the face of fear, anger, division, and despair.
