Faith communities serve a crucial role worldwide, but an increasing number of people find that these communities - both conservative and progressive - no longer get to the heart of what they're really looking for. Is there anything that can offer powerful growth, encouragement and lasting spiritual friendships? Join Dave Schmelzer and other leaders as they gather and coach online groups of goodhearted, inclusive people from many countries into historic, contemplative, journeying spirituality. While making new friends, learn from spiritual masters (like Theresa of Avila, Thomas Merton, the Desert Fathers and Mothers, Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh and many more) in open, connected, friendly, and practical ways. Dave and his wife Grace founded and led what became the largest church near Harvard before transitioning the church to new leadership as Dave and Grace started Journey On. Dave has spoken at Harvard, Tufts, Boston College and other universities. He’s been featured in The Boston Globe, The Stanford Magazine, Publisher’s Weekly and Religion News Service and has written two books.
