A One Faith - Online Gathering. Date To Be Confirmed
A One Faith is a multifaith, interspiritual online gathering for counsellors, coaches, healers, practitioners, creatives and psychologists who hold space for others – and long for space to explore their own.
Rooted in the principle of unity without uniformity, this conference is a voice and an invitation for you to reflect on how belief, faith, identity, shame, fear, hope and autonomy show up in both your work and your inner life.
Whether you hold one faith, many, none (‘cos that’s a belief too), or something uniquely your own, this gathering is for you.
The 2025 theme –
“Faith Without Fear: Reclaiming Sacred Autonomy”
Opens conversation around spiritual safety, faith, identity, freedom, and healing from fear-based systems. Also exploring the viewpoint some may actively want or need fear-based systems in their lives and if that is so – their choice?
Come to replenish, reconnect, and reimagine what spiritual care can look like across difference.

“Unity without uniformity” What does this mean?
Coming together in shared respect, connection, or purpose without needing everyone to be the same.
It’s the belief that:
We don’t have to think alike to belong together
Diversity of thought, belief, and identity can enrich a community rather than divide it
True unity honours individuality – it’s not about erasing difference, but embracing it with curiosity and care
People of many faiths (or none – as that’s even a faith) can gather without pressure to conform
There’s no “right” way to believe, speak, move, or heal
We unite not through sameness, but through shared humanity – like the desire to live without fear, love without shame, and express the sacred in our own way. Through autonomy not fear or shame.
We’re often taught that spiritual care must come from clergy, or within faith-aligned spaces. But A One Faith asks:
What if spiritual safety can be co-created between people of very different beliefs?
How do practitioners hold space for faith without feeling unqualified, afraid, or constrained by ethics codes?
What if we honoured spirituality in neurodivergent, ancestral, embodied, or creative ways?

Gathering for A One Faith
Speakers & Presenters Needed
ps: I originally wrote “Keynote Speakers”. I didn’t know what that really meant. I just thought it sounded good as I had seen it used. I’ve changed it to just speakers & presenters as here there is no hierarchy. We all come together with equal gifts to share. Sorry for any confusion.
Share your voice at A One Faith Conference.
Are you someone with a story, perspective, or practice that bridges belief and freedom? Have you walked a path through faith, fear, doubt, or healing? Are you creating spiritually safe spaces in your community, or embodying spiritual autonomy in your own way?
We’re inviting speakers, facilitators, artists, musicians and storytellers to be part of A One Faith – a multifaith, interspiritual gathering where all are welcome, and no belief is imposed.
We’re especially interested in voices from:
Multifaith and interfaith journeys
Indigenous, ancestral, or decolonised spiritual practices
Neurodivergent spiritual experiences
