Who Are We?
Our Central Focus
Awakening Spirituality (AS) is an emerging community for seekers—people drawn to the spiritual quest.
Some people are drawn to spiritual practices outside of religious norms and structures. We support people who are seeking life-fulfilling experiences that differ from conventional experiences. We support seekers who want a personal relationship with the Divine.
AS is a safe space to ask questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is the true nature of God, Goddess, Creator? Do we even need these titles? How can I develop my relationship with spirit?
AS is a safe space to explore practices, ancient and modern, and to develop healthy, creative approaches to spiritual growth.
A spirit of acceptance, authenticity, inquiry, and inclusivity guides our activities. New ideas are welcome, and old ideas are viewed through a new lens.
As an open, evolving group of seekers, we also enjoy a sense of fun.
Welcome! We're excited that you've chosen to come with an open heart and mind to explore the infinite with us!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AS? Where are we located?
AS is an online community that is evolving and growing. Since our formal activities began in 2020, we have been abiding by COVID-19 regulations as set out by the province of Ontario.
We hope to hold retreats and gatherings when it’s safe to resume in-person activities. In the meantime, the good news is that so long as you have access to the internet, you can join in.
The plus side of meeting online is that people from anywhere and everywhere can take part. Creative options for developing a grassroots group like AS are also flexible because geography is not an issue.
Who founded AS? Do I have to be a member to take part in an activity?
The AS founding group is based in Southern Ontario, Canada. Anyone can take part in AS activities, at their own comfort level:
Spiritual Development Circles are small groups of 5-9 people who want to explore topics and practices in safe settings
Podcasts & Spiritual Lifestory Writing shed light on the lives and passions of various practitioners
Workshops, Events & Webinars offer the chance to learn from teachers, practitioners and avid seekers who are willing to share their expertise
