Our Misssion and Vision

Our vision is unfolding and evolving, but we wish …

  • To live a contemplative life, while offering opportunities to support our community’s spiritual growth.

  • To be able to have challenging conversations, using compassionate communication, that impact our individual transformation and our common world.

  • To manifest non-patriarchal, non-hierarchical leadership and disentangle from gendered concepts and words about God that no longer serve us.

  • To manifest community that is entirely inclusive and affirming to all our siblings. All means All.

  • To become valued partners with, and to offer contemplative practices to, other communities in Austin and beyond – whether Christian, other faiths, or non-faith groups.

  • To foster a community without “membership.” Friends that find our offerings meaningful continue to participate with their intention, time, talents and material support.
