We are not a religion, we are an experiment in philosophical spiritual community. We believe that we can positively affect the way we experience and treat each other without claiming that ours is the only way.

We believe that people shouldn’t be excluded or disenfranchised because of race, gender, sexual orientation, physical or intellectual challenges, income, etc., and that we should take an active role in inclusion.

We believe it is important to support community initiatives in areas of social justice and hunger drives, to name a few, as well as projects closer to home such as accessibility improvements and youth education.

If you are intrigued, curious, excited by this different way of approaching a sense of meaning and purpose, come to a Celebration of Life, talk to a member and they’ll be glad to share their experience with you.

The Last Mountain (2011)

A Documentary by Bill Haney

In the valleys of Appalachia, a battle is being fought over a mountain, a battle over protecting our health and environment from the destructive power of Big Coal. Nowhere is that concern greater than in Coal River Valley, West Virginia, where a small but passionate group of ordinary citizens are trying to stop Big Coal corporations, like Massey Energy, from continuing the devastating practice of Mountain Top Removal.      

Doors open at 7:00, movie starts at 7:30. Sliding scale starting at $1, no one turned away. Popcorn, sodas, water, and other snacks available for donation.

Co-sponsored by Stop Plant Vogtle Coalition. Stay for discussion led by Courtney Hanson of WAND after the film.
