if you feel that love is the only way forward, you're not alone.

Way Collective is a contemplative community for love and liberation working for the common good in Santa Barbara, CA.

We sense that a whole bunch of people are feeling that there's got to be a better way to live into Jesus' teachings on love and community in the 21st century -- one that leads us toward healing justice for our communities. We are a collective that is living into that by sharing in practices and values rather than beliefs.

We are a community who is learning to:

• Ground our lives in Love in a community centered on loving and liberating contemplative Christian practices.
• Grow in Love through dialogue with people from diverse traditions who share core values.
• Work for Love by cultivating the common good in Santa Barbara and beyond.

We find that we're better together. And, as there are too many forms of religion contributing to the divisions in our world, we come together to practice Connection, Curiosity, Creativity, Collaboration, Consciousness, and Compassion. Our gatherings emphasize building friendships over a meal and having meaningful conversations about topics that transform our perspectives. Our desire is to grow in living peacefully with a deepening sense of belonging, mystery, beauty, healing justice, wisdom, and love.
