As Seen In

Where can we go to nurture our spiritual lives outside the confines of traditional religious institutions?

More and more people want to define what spirituality looks like for them—and find friends along the way.

We want wise guidance without dogma, structure without rigidity, and, more than anything, we want connection—with ourselves, others, and something greater than us.

We started The Nearness to offer a space that does just that. We’re excited you’re here.

How it Works

Nearness courses help you explore life’s biggest questions.

Each course gathers small groups of five to six people for weekly virtual gatherings, where participants reflect on stimulating questions, experiment with new practices and rituals, and explore inspiring concepts from a variety of traditions and perspectives.

These expert-designed weekly gatherings are supplemented by guidance from world-class spiritual teachers.
