Faith Matters Network is an innovative organization centered on *womanist wisdom that accompanies spiritually grounded leaders in their journey to heal themselves and their communities. Because no one transforms their community alone, we empower faith leaders, social activists, and community organizers through resource-sharing, coaching, and cohort-based learning that builds a vast network of folks who can connect on their passion for equity and justice.
Faith Matters Network creates communal spaces across race, class, and religious/spiritual background where leaders can develop new leadership skills, gain new perspective, and understand one another’s struggle and vision in movement work. Since 2014 we have accompanied and trained more than 10,000 leaders and provided a national platform for them to share their work.
Faith Matters Network is not just an organization, we’re a network of changemakers– and our partnerships exist locally, nationally, and across both rural and urban communities. We are the refuge from your burnout in movement work. Welcome! We’re happy you’re here.

I provide trauma-conscious healing/spiritual care, education and consulting grounding in an ethic of equity and healing justice and through the lenses of traumatology, Andean Indigenous medicine/spirituality, and creative arts. I integrate the practice of intergenerational resilience, the vision of multi-diasporic futurism, and ancestral reclamation as a way for all peoples to see ourselves in relationship to past, present and future - to build a world together that is beyond what we think is possible. I am trained as a clinical social worker, meditation/yoga teacher, community-based full spectrum doula and healer in the Paqo Indigenous tradition from the Kiko territory of the Q'eros tribal lands of the Andes. I love building curricula and facilitate training and education digitally and in person on issues such as social movement trauma, BIPOC/QTBIPOC healing methodologies, spiritual and religious trauma, among other areas of focus.

We interweave spiritual wisdom and principles from diverse traditions and cultures with inspirational, practical, and educational resources. We provide (1) online courses and virtual groups for recovery and empowerment from sexual and other traumas and from grief due to death, divorce, and other losses, (2) workshops and retreats on various topics for emotional healing and empowerment), (3) coaching services for individuals and couples, and (4) consulting services for justice organizations. -

Rise Up Project nourishes the soul of Jewish justice work. We provide grants and capacity-building support to strengthen movements for multiracial, inclusive democracy by investing in the spiritual resources of Jewish social justice leadership and the communities they lead. Rise Up funds transformative work that integrates deep Jewish wisdom and practice, centers the margins of our community, and drives progressive action for social change – expanding entry points for hundreds of thousands of Jews across the country who often feel alienated by the majority of Jewish spaces. Instead of asking Jewish people to only use traditional avenues for accessing Jewish life, we meet them where they are. In just under five years, we have grown into a powerful seed funder, distributing $1.8 million to over 60 projects working at the intersections of justice and spirituality, many of them outside major Jewish population centers, and developing the leadership of over 100 organizational leaders.
The diversity of our grantees illustrates the success of our approach: Half of the projects we fund are led by Jews of Color, 80% are led by women, and 94% are led by those with a marginalized identity overall (within that we include Jews who are poor/working class, queer, trans, and/or gender non-conforming, disabled or chronically ill, and/or Mizrahi/Sephardi). We believe that this critical representation is why our grantees have already collectively reached over 900,000 Jewish people across the country throughout the course of our grantmaking. -
Intended Community:
Jewish people, marginalized Jewish people, BIPOC Jews, queer, trans, and/or gender-nonconforming Jews, disabled Jews, poor/woorking class Jews

Healing by Choice! (HbC!) is a diverse circle of Women and Gender Non-Conforming Health and Healing Practitioners of color based in Waawiiyatanong / Detroit, MI. HbC! is engaged in healing justice work through listening deeply to our communities and what is needed at this time on the clock of the world. Our practices range from energy work like Reiki and Craniosacral to group support via spaces to hold grief, transformative conflict support, workshops on relieving stress, childbirth education, and therapeutic art.
We call ourselves Healing by Choice! because we get to make the choice about how and when healing happens and uphold that each of us is the expert of our own experience(s). That is one of the reasons we use the exclamation point. It says that we will be open and upfront about our healing. It is not in the background, or an afterthought, as it so often has been in society. We are inspired, in part, by Adela Nieves Martinez, our founder, INCITE! Women, Gender Non-Conforming and Trans people of Color Against Violence, and are are making a point of our existence and our practice. -
Intended Community:
HbC! does most of our work with Detroit-area groups. We choose to center and serve the most marginalized/ generationally traumatized groups of our communities. We also aim to support folks involved in justice movements in order to increase their resiliency.

Wild Fig is a newly forming decentralized network of independent Christian ministers and ministries woven together through mutual relationships and bound by a commitment to shared purpose, principles, and practices.
-
Intended Community:
We are pastors, congregations, leaders, and ministries longing to see an expression of Christianity in the world that is more loving, just, and inclusive. The Church is facing unprecedented challenges and systemic problems, and we know the best way to navigate uncertainty and ambiguity is to walk together with others. However, current denominational structures are proving unable to adapt to an increasingly complex and fast-changing world, and many newer associations are lacking robust structures for belonging, credentialing, and support grounded in trust and relationships. For these reasons, we are seeking to create a more flexible organizing structure for an increasingly post-denominational world. We are seeking a way for leaders and organizations of all kinds to connect, collaborate, and share resources with one another without the bureaucracy and top-down hierarchies of traditional denominations. Our dream is to cultivate a diverse, relational network based on mutuality and interdependence that makes the work of God’s love, healing, and justice more sustainable and generative for all.

I am committed to the role of embodied leadership and resilience, culture, ceremony, relationship building and community wisdom in creating a society filled with wholeness and beauty. I offer programs and ceremonies that are rooted in indigenous prophecy and teachings that help us to understand the context of the times we are in, how each of us is needed, and how our personal and group work together contributes to the transformation and reclamation of a world rooted in purpose and belonging.
I offer individual personal and ancestral healing services, organizational development, mediation and circle work, group ceremony and healing services, facilitation, team building, and strategic advising and consulting.
I believe that individuals, families and groups have tremendous amounts of untapped knowledge, wisdom, and medicine within them. The best part of my work is creating space for that to be rediscovered and unleashed in the world. In this calling, I am grateful to my parents and my ancestors for instilling in me the values and teachings that have led me to cultural, spiritual and transformative work.

"The Street Church" or "The Church Without Walls", is what many have come to call us. THE ROW-LA is a church, quite literally, without walls. We have no physical building. For us, this is a constant reminder that a building does not make God's church - people do.

Our goal for the last 18 years has been to serve those in need; feeding people both spiritually & physically. If you're interested in hearing the Word of God, receiving a hot meal, or you're just curious to see how God is moving where you may have least expected it, THE ROW readily welcomes everyone!

Through our two core offerings, God Fellowship and Jewish Mystical School, we provide pathways for spiritual growth, integrating ancient wisdom and modern perspectives, timeless practices with modern approaches. Our purpose is to support participants in ending cycles of trauma and suffering within themselves, creating the foundation for a more liberated and compassionate world.

Year of the Black Woman is a course for those who offer womanist-inspired spiritual support to Black women living in the U.S. It is founded at a time when Black women in power are being scapegoated as the sinister purveyors of DEI/woke ideologies that discriminate against White people. According to writer Alice Walker, a womanist is a Black woman or woman of color who, among many attributes, loves music. This course is using principles of "practical pastoral theolyricology" to effectively integrate music into the spiritual support encounter.
-
Intended Community:
In my pastoral counseling work, I serve those who are interested. In the Year of the Black Woman course, students who serve the spiritual needs of Black women are welcome.

My work is about recovering what empire triee to erase—self-trust, sacred intuition, and the wisdom of our ancestors. Through R.E.S.T. Mixtape, I create learning journeys, immersive retreats, and leadership frameworks that remix hush harbor wisdom, hip-hop philosophy, and radical ethics to cultivate new wineskins for faith, belonging, and liberation. My offerings include soulful leadership development, spiritual fugitivity spaces, and curated mixtape focus groups—all designed to disrupt toxic narratives, restore ethical imagination, and guide people into more embodied, liberatory ways of being. My work is medicine for those who refuse to settle for empire’s version of spirituality and are ready to create something new.
-
Intended Community:
My work serves anyone seeking liberation, self-trust, and spiritual imagination beyond the confines of empire and certainty. It is for those who are deconstructing, rebuilding, or remixing their faith and ethics—leaders, seekers, creatives, and communities longing for spaces where wisdom is fluid, belonging is radical, and transformation is embodied.

Interdependence Lab is dedicated to fostering a cultural shift away from individualism towards interdependence. We support cross-sector practitioners, community builders, and spiritual leaders to engage in collective learning and unlearning by:
- Celebrating interdependence as a fundamental aspect of the human experience.
- Challenging the 'myth of individualism' pervasive in U.S. leadership development, wellness, and self-help.
- Fostering growth in community-oriented ways instead of individual-focused personal development.
- Reconnecting people, especially from the Global Majority, with their ancestral wisdom and spiritual traditions.
Spiritual offerings include interactive workshops on Islam’s applicability-including its poetry and artistic expressions-in uplifting lives both within and beyond the Muslim community as well as talks and opportunities for inter-riting (inviting folks outside of the Islamic tradition to engage with Islamic ritual and practice with respect, reverence and cultural humility). -
Intended Community:
Changemakers who believe interdependence is essential to our future, we offer a path to make it the foundation of how we work and lead. Social impact stewards, spiritual leaders, and community builders.
