WE ARE ONESPIRIT
30 years of transformative interfaith and spiritual development training, online and in person.
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
— Howard Thurman
YOUR PATHWAY INTO INTERFAITH MINISTRY
Spiritual Development and Ministry Training
Enrolment is now open for our two-year training in spiritual development, presence, and real-world practice, with both online and in-person pathways available.
Applications for the Class of 2028 close at midnight on 30 September 2026.
This is not just a course, but a space to explore spiritual traditions, deepen self-awareness, and grow your capacity to listen and respond with care. Whether you feel called to ministry or simply sense that something in you is ready for more, you are welcome to begin here.
TWO PATHS, ONE JOURNEY
Our Offerings for 2026 – 2028
Choose the way of learning that best supports your life. Both pathways offer the same depth of training and community, and both can lead to ordination as an interfaith minister.
Willow Pathway (Online):
- Flexible and relational, with weekly live sessions and supported self-study.
- You’ll learn within a consistent small group, building real connection over time while integrating the work into your everyday life.
- This pathway is designed for those who want to go deep without stepping away from their current responsibilities.
Sylvan Pathway (In Person):
- Immersive and retreat-based at Florence House in Seaford, East Sussex.
- Through residential retreats, you’ll step into a dedicated space for reflection, shared practice, and community.
- This pathway is for those who feel called to fully immerse themselves in the training, away from the pace of daily life.

INSPIRING TESTIMONIALS
Words from Our Students
Samantha, 2024 Graduate
Paul, 2024 Graduate
It has been great. I have very much enjoyed working with all three tutors and look forward to the onward journey. I have found all three tutors to be very knowledgeable, professional and supportive in a very mindful and caring way. They do so in a way that shows compassion and genuine care for the well-being of students.
Rebecca, 2024 Graduate
Jennifer, 2024 Graduate
It was wonderful to find myself among a group of gifted, committed seekers who had all signed up for this shared journey while coming from different backgrounds with different stories, experiences and strengths. The way that different people’s individuality and perspectives emerged more into the community throughout the programme continues to inspire me and we are staying in contact too which fills me with joy.
HOW WE DIFFER
Spiritual Development & Ministry Training
For 30 years, OneSpirit has been offering interfaith ministry training rooted in real experience and lived practice. This is a training focused on formation, not just information. It is about how you grow, how you relate, and how you come to meet others with presence and care.
Learning unfolds through experience, reflection, and community rather than theory alone. We recognise that people learn in different ways and come with different needs, and our approach is designed to be genuinely flexible and inclusive.
At the heart of everything is a grounding in presence, ethics, and conscious communication. Not as concepts to study, but as ways of being to develop and carry into the world.
WHAT WE DO
Courses, Workshops, Webinars, and Retreats
At OneSpirit, our Spiritual Development and Ministry Training sits at the heart of everything we offer. It is a two-year journey designed to support personal growth, spiritual exploration, and preparation for interfaith ministry.
From this core training, our wider offerings naturally extend. Courses, retreats, and workshops create space for continued learning, reflection, and connection, supporting both ministers and the wider community.
We offer live, interactive learning online and in person, making the training accessible to people in different locations and at different stages of life. At its core, this is about creating space for meaningful growth in a way that feels inclusive, supportive, and responsive to each individual’s path.
WHO WE ARE
OneSpirit Interfaith Ministers
At OneSpirit, we train interfaith ministers to serve in diverse spiritual landscapes, supporting individuals and communities with compassion, understanding, and inclusivity.
Our growing network of over 1,000 ministers offers personalised ceremonies, rituals, and spiritual accompaniment for life’s significant moments, including weddings, funerals, and blessings. Alongside this, many bring their work into a wide range of settings, including:
- Educational workshops on spirituality and personal growth
- Creative spaces that support expression and transformation
- Chaplaincy and emotional support in hospitals, hospices, and community settings
- Healing practices and holistic approaches to wellbeing
- Talks, writing, and creative work that deepen connection and meaning
Each minister shapes their work in their own way, bringing their skills, presence, and perspective into what they offer. Their inclusive approach and deep listening allow them to support others in ways that feel meaningful, personal, and true to the moment.
