onespirit interfaith foundation

OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation was founded in the 1990s as a response to division, pain, and suffering in the world. Inspired by visionaries like Rabbi Gelberman and Miranda Macpherson, our mission is rooted in creating unity amid global challenges. With a deep commitment to interfaith dialogue and spiritual exploration, we have grown into a vibrant community dedicated to fostering understanding and meaningful connections.

Grounded in a desire to promote peace after the Holocaust, OneSpirit stands as a challenge to the forces that divide us. At a time when separation feels ever-present, we choose to embody compassion, connection, and unity. Through our training programmes, workshops, and wider community, we invite individuals to step into a space where respect and understanding flourish.

We welcome people of all faiths and none to learn, grow, and serve in a way that feels authentic to them. Our programmes focus on peacemaking, inner leadership, sacred activism, and embracing diversity. Whether you seek to deepen your spirituality, lead meaningful ceremonies, or cultivate skills to bring people together, we offer a path of exploration and transformation.

At our core, we believe that spiritual exploration is an act of defiance against division. By opening doors to deep listening, dialogue, and shared wisdom, we foster a community where all are valued and respected. We don’t claim to have all the answers, but we do know this: walking this journey together, with curiosity, compassion, and care, creates the foundation for a more peaceful and connected world.

Welcome to OneSpirit: Celebrating Your Unique Journey

At OneSpirit, we honour the beauty and individuality of every spiritual path.

As an educational charity, we offer training with two core aims:

  • Deepening spiritual self-development
  • Cultivating authentic ministry to serve others

What we’re not:

  • A cult, religion, or church
  • Aligned with any one faith or belief system
  • A place that imposes beliefs or promotes doctrine

What we are:

  • A welcoming space for learning, growth, and connection
  • Dedicated to open-hearted communication, respect for all beliefs, and authentic relationships
  • A community that recognises and supports the light within you
Our Touchstones

Inclusivity, compassion, authenticity, spiritual transformation.

Our Mission

Is to work towards evolving consciousness in the world, by facilitating open-hearted people to awaken to inner leadership and their capacity for forgiveness, reconciliation and peacemaking.

Our Mission

A world in which humanity awakens in an inclusive, global spirituality that encompasses us all in a field of love and life.

Courses, Workshops, Webinars, and Retreats

OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation’s Spiritual Development and Ministry Training is the heart of our organisation — a transformative 2-year journey that forms the foundation of everything we offer.

Each of our other courses, retreats, and workshops branches out from this core programme, designed to deepen spiritual growth and inclusivity for ministers and the wider public.

We provide live courses (both online and in-person to cater to various preferences), ensuring that all who want to participate are able, no matter their location.

We’ve pursued this approach because we recognise the distinct needs of our community, and firmly believe that anyone seeking personal growth should have the opportunity to achieve it.

Who are Our Interfaith Ministers?

Nurturing unique individuals in diverse spiritual landscapes, our interfaith ministers are trained to excel in a wide range of roles, guided by compassion and a deep understanding of diverse spiritual needs.

With an extensive alumni network of over 1,000 ministers, they offer personalised ceremonies, rituals, and spiritual accompaniment for significant life events such as weddings, funerals, and blessings.

While these examples highlight some of the roles our ministers can undertake, the possibilities are truly endless. They may teach educational workshops and classes on spirituality and personal development, lead creative workshops to foster artistic expression and personal growth or provide chaplaincy and emotional support in hospital settings. Additionally, they offer healing therapies, deliver inspirational talks, and engage in artistic endeavours that enhance spiritual and emotional experiences.

If you’re looking for someone to help you bring your unique and special vision to life, consider an interfaith minister.

Their diverse skills and compassionate approach make them ideal partners in creating meaningful and personalised experiences tailored to your values and needs.

Interfaith at OneSpirit: A Journey of Connection & Belonging

At OneSpirit, interfaith isn’t just a concept—it’s an invitation to explore, connect, and celebrate the diverse spiritual threads that unite us all.

What interfaith is not:

  • It’s not about blending or erasing beliefs.
  • It’s not a new religion or faith.
  • It doesn’t ask you to abandon your personal beliefs or convert to something else.

What interfaith is:

  • A welcoming space for dialogue, respect, and understanding.
  • A celebration of shared humanity and the connections we create.
    A commitment to unity that honours the richness of diversity.
  • We cherish those who walk paths outside traditional structures and embrace the spiritual essence that ties us together. Interfaith celebrates listening to our global neighbours, seeking empathy, and finding inspiration in the world’s many spiritual traditions.

Discover what interfaith means to you in a community that values respect, curiosity, and authenticity. We believe everyone belongs here.

Words from Our Students

Thank you again, I didn’t know my life and soul yearned for this process until I found it, and until I began I didn’t know how much my life and soul would be drinking from the bountiful cup that OneSpirit offers.

Rebecca, 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.

Paul, 2024 Graduate

I have become more aware of myself in different ways. I am seeing the importance of daily practices and prayer. My self-worth has increased. My understanding of the divine has shifted from being all light to incorporating the dark moments too. I have more in my toolkit for dealing with adversity. There is more compassion for self and others. I realised how my neurodiversity and past wounds drive some of my responses to the world and others.

Samantha, 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.
