We often separate organizations and activities as secular or religious, creating a kind of split life in which our spiritual natures are hidden away in most environments. This is often done to avoid conflict, not trusting our ability to interact with open spirituality when we come from different beliefs, faith traditions, and cultures. The Braided Bridge Community encourages an approach to life and relationship that tends to mind, body and spirit and is grounded in love.
In some interfaith settings, participants look for what is general to all faiths and stay within those boundaries. We would like, rather, to bring the richness of the specificity of our different spiritual languages -their words, stories, people, images, and music -into a space where they can be explored and honored, even when they are different from what others in the group might have learned.
