At The Fellowship of Integral Spirituality (FOIS), we believe that spiritual growth is rooted in practice, not doctrine. We are an interspiritual fellowship that brings together individuals and communities from diverse traditions, uniting around the shared journey of spiritual transformation. We honor the individual spiritual’s journey as an integral strand within the evolving web of our collective consciousness. Each person’s path is not a mere solitary endeavor but an indispensable contribution to the totality of human experience.
Rather than focusing on specific beliefs, we focus on supporting individuals and communities utilizing spiritual practices to deepen their connection to the Divine, themselves, and each other. We call these spiritual disciplines “integral life practices,” as they are practices in which all people engage simply through moving about our daily lives. As human beings, we are always changing – always evolving, though we often do so unconsciously. Integral life practice is about engaging our daily practices in a conscious and disciplined way that uplifts our spirit and connects us to a higher purpose, experience, or Being, often referred to as Spirit, Source, or Energy – that which, in the words of an ancient pagan poem, we “live, move, and have our being.” Our fellowship is built on the understanding that we are all One, connected by the same sacred thread that runs through all life. While our paths may differ, the practices that lead us toward spiritual awakening and growth are universal. By embracing the wisdom, devotion, and practices of many traditions, we honor the diversity of the world’s spiritual heritage while recognizing the unity that binds us together. At FOIS, we support spiritual growth through six integral life practices:
We are also deeply committed to integral life practices that foster the growth and well-being of the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Our approach integrates these practices into daily life, ensuring that spirituality is not just a theoretical concept but a lived reality. We invite you to engage with a spirituality that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Here, the dance of existence becomes a sacred symphony, harmonizing the many voices of humanity into a unified chorus of spiritual growth and integral realization.
