We create spaces where spirituality and everyday life connect. Our projects invite individuals and communities to explore holistic well-being through meaningful experiences, sustainable practices, and supportive gatherings.

What is a “Metaphysical Free Church”?

A metaphysical free church combines spiritual community with religious independence and personal sovereignty.

As “metaphysical,” we focus on understanding reality beyond the physical world, exploring consciousness, and fostering personal transformation. As a “free church,” we operate independently without denominational ties, are unincorporated and self-governing, and emphasize personal spiritual experience over dogma or creed.

For a deeper exploration of how we define a metaphysical free church, please read our article on the subject here.

Do you have a creed?

No. We believe that every human being has his or her own direct connection with the Divine. It is not our place to dictate your spiritual beliefs.

What do you believe?

We believe in the sacredness of being human.

As a metaphysical organization it is our goal to study and teach the universal spiritual principles that lie at the core of every legitimate religion.  This is also what is known as spiritual science.

Like the laws of physics, these spiritual principles operate regardless of our subjective beliefs. Therefore they provide humanity with a spiritual “common ground” that perhaps some day will help us come to a place of unity as a species.

The one thing that we do want to emphasize here is that just like the laws of physics, metaphysical principles are neutral. They can be and have been used both for good or for evil purposes.

We believe that a true understanding of spiritual principles (for instance as taught by Jesus, Buddha, etc.) includes adherence to the Golden Rule and will always result in putting oneself in service to humanity and holding oneself to high moral standards based on integrity, compassion, humility, and love.

Do you believe in God?

We believe in a universal Creator Consciousness that is a positive, creative, force of Love, that includes and is present in all things. If this aligns with your concept of “God,” then yes.

Is this occult?

Yes and no. The word “occult” means “hidden.” Metaphysical knowledge was kept hidden from the mainstream of humanity for millennia, sometimes to keep people from harming themselves with it but more often in order to control people with this powerful knowledge unbeknownst to them.

So yes, the study of metaphysical knowledge is often referred to as “occult.”  However as stated above this is information that has always been embedded in the Bible and other religious texts, often in ways that hid it from the uninitiated reader. And in fact, just like the laws of nature, universal spiritual laws are readily observable to all those who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear them.

It is our belief that at this time in human history, every man and woman has direct access to this empowering knowledge through their own “inner guru” or higher self. We believe that the majority of people, when properly instructed in metaphysics, will use it to improve their lives and those of others. So part of our work entails the “un-occulting” of previously guarded knowledge so that it can be used for the benefit of all humankind rather than for the profit of an elite few.

Is this a cult?

No. Personal liberty is one of our most treasured values. Our intention is to hold space for you to self-educate and evolve spiritually, not to indoctrinate you.

We respect your individual religious beliefs and your personal connection to universal wisdom. We encourage questioning, free discourse, and self-inquiry. You are free to participate in our programs as fully or as little as you wish. While we may have suggestions for spiritual practices you might want to consider, we will never pressure you to do anything that doesn’t feel right to you, or ask you to convert to any specific beliefs in order to stay affiliated with us.

If I am a Christian (Jew, Buddhist, etc.), can I attend?

Of course. The study of metaphysics, as mentioned above, is universal and part of all major religions. This is a universal, non-denominational ministry and everyone is welcome here.

We respect all religious paths. Many people find great benefit from following their religious traditions, which we encourage as you are guided. However no one can make everyone happy all the time. Often metaphysics is best understood through study of the esoteric (rather than the mainstream exoteric) side of any given religion. Sometimes this can lead to religious friction, either with existing religious communities, or within oneself. We encourage you to interpret the teachings for yourself in light of your own spiritual tradition.

Does it cost anything to join the Spoken Earth community?

No. Basic membership to Spoken Earth Ministries is free.

Are donations to Spoken Earth Ministries tax-deductible?

To the best of our knowledge, no. While we are in practice a non-profit, we have chosen to remain an unincorporated, sovereign entity owned by a charitable foundation.

As one of our long-term goals is to help businesses thrive through the application of metaphysical principles, we have made the decision to fund Spoken Earth Ministries in large part through the sale of products and services such as classes, workshops, metaphysical products, and one-to-one energy work and/or consulting.

The proceeds from these sales (as well as freewill contributions) help to offset our overhead, cover payroll for our staff, and enable us to offer free services such as our regular online Gatherings. In the future we also hope to acquire a piece of land for local spiritual services and retreats.

That said, we are very grateful for donations and if you’d like to donate you can do so here. 

What will I receive as a member?

In addition to our e-newsletter, members enjoy free, bi-monthly online Gatherings. These may include healing circles, oracle meetups, guided meditation services, and more. At times we may also offer free local meetups in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that you are welcome to attend if you are in the area.

You will also have access to our online community forums where you can connect and share resources with other spiritually-aware people.

Our community members may also receive discounts on certain services and products, as well as invitations to exclusive events.
