OUR PHILOSOPHY Participatory Democracy The SpiritHouse Project operates on three fundamental principles of participatory democracy:
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. The SpiritHouse Project's work is a spiritual call for us to reconcile our relations with God, each other, and all aspects of creation, by building and sustaining what Paulo Freire calls intimate democratic spaces that cut across the social, economic, and religious prides in our lives. SpiritHouse recognizes that injustice breeds and spreads lies that distort our images of God, ourselves, and others. SpiritHouse believes that the truth sets us free. Therefore, truth-telling plays a major role in our work. SpiritHouse Project helps unveil the truth through research, the arts, spiritual reflections, stories of ordinary people, action, education and community building, sacred texts, broadsides, and community formation.
