WHAT IS THE SPIRITHOUSE PROJECT?

The SpiritHouse Project is a national organization that uses the arts, research, education, action, and spirituality to bring diverse peoples together to work for racial, economic, and social justice, as well as for spiritual maturity.

Participatory Democracy - The SpiritHouse Project operates on three fundamental principles of participatory democracy:

1. Let the People Decide
2. Strong Leaders Emerge Out of the Body of Strong Communities
3. Authentic Struggle for Liberation is Intergenerational

Spirituality - SpiritHouse recognizes that justice is both a spiritual and social concept that are interconnected to each other. Injustice and violence are signs of deep spiritual malformation. They spread a national cancer that eats away at our national unity and potential.

WHAT ARE WE DOING NOW?

As part of our Southern Initiative, Spirithouse is currently involved in the following projects:

A Long Train Running Towards Excellence - A Celebration of the Black Culture of Public School Education Prior to Integration
See Photos From the Last Event!

Under the Tent - Our new series. The tent stands as a metaphor for a common space where we gather to explore "what does it mean to be one with each other in a divisive world".

Voices From the South - Highlights the ideas, reflections, and voices of intergenerational and multi-ethnic voices from the South, about the South. Includes voices of our allies that speak about issues that relate to the South.
