This fully online program is designed to foster personal and ministerial growth through a blend of live weekly webinars, an online classroom filled with resources, and a dedicated student communications platform.

Curriculum: A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

Our curriculum is ever-changing, deeply experiential, and responsive to the evolving world. Structured around six strands, it incorporates the exploration of faith paths and worldviews, ceremony and ritual, deep listening skills, spiritual accompaniment, psycho-spiritual development, and spiritual and pastoral service in the community. Our approach exceeds traditional teachings, inviting a dynamic interaction between students and tutors to facilitate a profoundly experiential learning experience.

1-1 Meetings: Reflect on your training journey through regular meetings with your tutor team.

Embrace the Journey Ahead

As Caroline, a current OneSpirit student, reflects, “It feels like a very solemn and sacred commitment…I am growing positively through examining these internal struggles.” Your journey with OneSpirit is not only about spiritual growth but also about making a reflective and contemplative impact on the world.

We invite you to join us on this transformative journey, to explore the depths of your being, and to contribute towards a world awakened to love, consciousness, and spirited unity. Enrolments are now open for the Birch Pathway—take the next step in your spiritual journey with OneSpirit.

The Art of the Pause

True listening isn’t about waiting our turn, it’s a loving gesture of presence. In interfaith spaces, listening deeply creates space for stories, identity, grief, joy. It’s not about understanding perfectly, but about saying, “I’m here with you,” and offering connection as an act of love.

Listening is Love

Lessons from a Luminous Life

The Cherry Tree Pathway is our new blended learning programme, offering a mix of online and in-person experiences for those seeking a flexible approach to spiritual development.
