We Are One Spirit
Spiritual Education for Change-Makers
One Spirit, founded in 2001, is a transformative community for interspiritual learning, leading the charge to co-create a world guided by reverence for the sacred connection between all life and a commitment to its flourishing.
Welcome!
One Spirit is Evolving
One Spirit is entering its 25th year. The need for spiritually grounded leaders, ministers, companions, and counselors has never been greater.
As the world changes rapidly, One Spirit is taking a temporary pause in enrollment for our programs while reflecting as a community on how we are meant to meet the growing needs in the world with integrity, authenticity, and relevance.
We welcome new and long-time community members to join our discernment process and engage in our community groups and gatherings while we carry Seminary 2 students through their second year.

Our Community
Community Gatherings
One Spirit is a vibrant and growing spiritual community, welcoming students, graduates, and the general public into sacred spaces of discovery.
We offer a diverse range of free community gatherings that bring people together for spiritual conversation, practice, learning, and service, including informational town halls.
Affinity Groups
For our current students and graduates, our community-led Affinity Groups offer space where deep listening, safety, nurturance, and connection are celebrated.
Among them are One Spirit in Recovery, One Spirit Ministers of Color Sacred Circle, One Spirit in Action (OSIA), and more.
Affiliation of Ministry
Ordained ministers and certified ISCC counselors who choose One Spirit as their Assignment of Ministry or Counseling are considered to be “affiliated” with One Spirit.
All affiliates become part of One Spirit’s Spiritual Service directory as they demonstrate an ongoing connection and alignment with One Spirit.
Awaken your mind. Open your heart. Offer them to the world.
“If we are to survive and grow in our world, we must transform ourselves through love and acceptance for all teachings, all people, and all cultures, everywhere. One Spirit is a leader in this work.”
— Rev. Cory C.

One Spirit Program Offerings
Interfaith/Interspiritual Seminary
One Spirit Interfaith and Interspiritual Seminary is a 2-year ordination program focused on developing core spirituality, exploring the foundations of interfaith and interspiritual ministry, and learning how to respond and show up in spiritual service to others.
Interspiritual Companioning & Counseling
The Certificate in Interspiritual Companioning & Counseling is a 9.5-month program for seminarians, social workers, therapists, and people-centered professionals who feel called to support clients in their spiritual life.
Workshops
To support our Seminary 2 students, affiliates, and community, we are offering a selection of workshops for the 2025/26 school year. The theme for this year is applied spirituality with a focus on attaining a deeper understanding of world movements and how we, as spiritual change agents, can make a difference.
The One Spirit Approach
At One Spirit, learning is both sacred and alive. Rooted in compassion and rigor, our kaleidoscope teaching model invites students into a dynamic, co-creative experience of spiritual formation. This leading-edge model reflects the world we are building—one where wisdom flows in many directions, leadership is shared, and each voice matters.
Through integral, interspiritual, and developmental perspectives, we foster heart-expanding, personally transformative learning that radiates outward—cultivating authenticity, celebration, ethical integrity, and compassionate action in the world we serve.
Our programs are designed for spiritual change makers
