Welcome to One Spirit’s
Seminary Program!

We are delighted that you found your way here and are considering journeying with us as the next step in your call to be of service in the world. One Spirit began with a vision held by our founder, Rev. Diane Berke in 2002. We entered the doors of One Spirit in 2008, as strangers, and emerged with a deep friendship after we were ordained as Interfaith-Interspiritual ministers in 2010. We are honored to bring the work that was started by Rev. Diane forward as Co-Directors of Seminary. 

Here at One Spirit, we embrace and teach the truths at the heart of all authentic spiritual traditions. Through an interspiritual framework of study, practice and sharing, we come to know the common threads of wisdom traditions. At the core, the essence of all wisdom traditions value peace, wisdom, compassion, service and love. It is from the place of love that we engage in this work.

Our seminary offers an invitation to profound growth, transformation and change in the lives of students who walk through our doors. Over 1,300 people from all over the world have been ordained at One Spirit. They deepened their knowledge of the world’s spiritual traditions, engaged in experiential education, and developed ministries to match their unique calls to serve.

We offer a diverse community, supported by dedicated staff who will accompany you on your two-year journey in Seminary. We come together as strangers. With the blessing of Spirit, we eventually grow and deepen in connection to the sacred in ourselves and each other, emerging with a greater capacity to see the intrinsic wholeness in ourselves and others.

We hope to meet you on this path.  Until then, may your journey be blessed.
