The Helen Keller Spiritual Life Collaborative
An effort to cultivate a bit more heaven here on earth.
The Helen Keller Spiritual Life Collaborative is a gathering of individuals who are dedicated to making space to explore and live the call of the new church as outlined in the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, with the intention of living into the deep unity of life that makes possible our incredible diversity.
Helen Keller was devoted to the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg and understood his vision of the new church as a call to make worship a part of all of life, to love others as ourselves, and to creatively collaborate to build a better world.
We understand that God/the holy/love/truth is only discovered within actual people, all actual people and life throughout the universe, and so the path of love must be through our lived relationships.
To that end, it is the vision of the Helen Keller Spiritual Life Collaborative to create sacred space that is radically inclusive, that fosters love, understanding and new creative collaboration between different groups and peoples, with the aim of lessening the suffering of the world.
We aim to seek together to Be Love, Be Honest, and Be Useful.
- BE LOVE by honoring the worthiness of all peoples, the deep interconnectedness of life, and the source of all healing, joy, pleasure and transformation.
- BE HONEST by bringing to light the truth of our experience, the stories and systems that cause both wounding and healing, that we all might grow in wisdom.
- BE USEFUL by finding ways to be of service to one another and the world we collectively inhabit through new creative collaborative efforts to be of service.
