About Us

Community

Without help and stimulus we can get stuck in unhelpful and limited ways of looking at the world. Many people have no community to help them process life, especially when it’s difficult. We create fresh ways of participating constructively in each other’s lives so that new expressions of community can emerge. We believe this is a matter of great urgency that deserves widespread attention – that it is, in fact, essential to a life well-lived. These are unsettling times in which traditionally held religious and non-religious worldviews and narratives are being reassessed all over the world. Nexus opens new avenues to consider questions of transcendence in ways that everybody can handle, without dividing us into opposing camps. By leveraging the richness and strength that flows from our diversity, we remain for each other.

We need collective initiatives that make such practical tools and encouragement available to others. There is a need to build an international infrastructure for connecting, resourcing and shared ownership, so that we can learn from one another’s contexts. We created Nexus to contribute to this effort, energized by the possibilities for enriching our personal journeys, and for our local and global communities.
