Month of Ministry 2024

Month of Ministry 2024: Share, Network, Grow & Enjoy!

We’re officially announcing the Month of Ministry 2024, an enlightening initiative running from 1 February to 29 February 2024! This provides an incredible chance for all OneSpirit Interfaith Ministers to showcase their work on social media using a series of prompts released daily. To participate, simply use the hashtag #MonthOfMinistry.

The Month of Ministry is steered by Rev Jo Royle and backed by Rev Sass Adams with Spiritunity. The event cultivates a wider reach for interfaith ministers and enables the sharing of experiences, beliefs, and accomplishments with a larger audience. It offers an excellent avenue to foster and fortify networks within the community. With support from us at OneSpirit, and OSMIC, we’re sure this will be a month full of inspiration!

Support & Mastermind Group:

In conjunction with the main event, they’re offering four journaling sessions that address prompt themes between November 2023 and January 2024. They’re also conducting a ‘Social Media for Spiritual Businesses’ online talk on 19 January 2024, which endeavours to guide individuals in crafting a successful social media strategy.

Rev Sass Adams will facilitate the Month of Ministry Social Media Mastermind Group that aims to augment your online business presence. This group is ideal for those keen on fully optimizing their social media platforms. The sessions promise not just valuable social media skills but also aid in crafting a network of like-minded individuals and navigating social media growth in a spiritual setting.

Take part in this inspiring Month of Ministry, foster growth, generate connections, and uplift your digital presence in the ministry!

Download the prompts and sign up for the Social Media Circle on their website to participate.

Introducing the Cherry Tree Pathway

We’re thrilled to mark the commencement of enrolment for our Spiritual Development and Ministry Training. This year, we are proud to introduce the Cherry Tree Pathway - which is a new offering that continues to be an entirely online curriculum, with optional in-person opportunities, designed for your convenience. Enrolment is officially open NOW – and will close on the 30th of September, with the training beginning in October!

Wednesday Wisdom: Bali

In this first student reflection of our "OneSpirit Reflections" series, a member of Aspen Class, Andrew, shares a deeply personal ceremony held at a local beach, marking the transition from year 1 to year 2 of their Interfaith Minister training. The reflection weaves together themes of gratitude, self-discovery, and connection to nature, as the student honours the sacredness of everyday moments and the role ceremony plays in their spiritual journey. This intimate experience offers insight into the evolving relationship between the student and the Earth, celebrating the sacredness of place and the power of ritual in marking life's pivotal moments.

OneSpirit Staff Reflections: Kailee

In this first staff reflection of our "OneSpirit Reflections" series and the first reflection of 2025, Kailee shares her journey to becoming the Communications Lead at OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation. Driven by a lifelong passion for global cultures and inclusive communication, Kailee reflects on her diverse experiences—from teaching English abroad to advocating for marginalized communities in Washington, D.C. She explores how these experiences have shaped her work at OneSpirit, where she is inspired to create content that fosters connection and empowers individuals in alignment with the foundation's interfaith mission.

Human Rights Day

Human Rights Day reminds us of our shared responsibility to uphold dignity, equality, and freedom for all. Inspired by our foundation's origins, we honour this day with a call to action, inviting reflection, kindness, and community efforts to support human rights worldwide.

Celebrating Bodhi Day

Bodhi Day, celebrated on December 8th, honours the Buddha’s journey to enlightenment and invites us to awaken our own compassion, clarity, and kindness. Reflect on the light within, and embrace acts of mindfulness and connection on this special day.

OneSpirit Faculty Reflections: Monica

In this first faculty reflection of our "OneSpirit Reflections" series, Monica Douglas explores the profound power of togetherness and connection. Reflecting on her experience as a tutor for the Class of 2024 OneSpirit Interfaith Ministers, Monica candidly shares the challenges and joys of guiding a diverse group of individuals through their journey towards ordination. With heartfelt insight, she highlights how true togetherness is not about agreement or avoiding difficult conversations, but about embracing differences and standing in loving connection, even through the messiness of life. Monica also speaks to the importance of nature in fostering a sense of unity and self-love, and encourages us to find solace in the interconnectedness of the natural world. Through her reflection, she offers a message of hope, reminding us that by embracing connection, we can create a better world—one relationship at a time.

All Saints’ Day: A Time of Honour, Reflection, and Interfaith Resonance

All Saints' Day, traditionally a Christian celebration honouring saints known and unknown, carries themes that resonate across many faith traditions. This article reflects on how the values of love, service, and compassion, central to All Saints' Day, are also present in spiritual practices worldwide. By recognising the common virtues that unite us, we honour not only Christian saints but also the countless individuals from all beliefs who inspire us to lead with kindness and purpose.

Scottish Interfaith Week

As Scottish Interfaith Week approaches from 11 to 18 November, we reflect on the resilience and vitality of interfaith engagement across the nation. Despite the closure of the larger interfaith network, local groups continue to foster dialogue and compassion. Two of our dedicated ROSIM members have reached out to share their involvement in exciting events during this week. Join us as we highlight these opportunities for connection, reflection, and growth within our interfaith community!
