For years now, SDI members have longed for an easy way to connect.
Now, with our SDI Public Square, this longing has become a reality. We've been working for months to create an online platform on our website exclusively for SDI Members. Matt Whitney, Ann Lancaster, and Larry J Morris III have a quick chat to share about the process of building the platform, and what we're most excited about as we invite all of you to come join the community.

Here are just some of features of our new online community:

  • Free to our members and easy to use - Your SDI account profile is your ticket to explore and engage with our community. Members from all spiritual traditions and orientations are welcome to be part of the community as they are - with the clear expectation that everyone must respect the right of others to show up with their spirituality intact and that we must do no harm to each other. Read our community guidelines here.
  • Join discussion groups you like - We have pre-set an array of groups to get things started. But if you have an idea for a new discussion group, you can suggest one here.
  • Connect with old friends and meet new friends - You can connect and message with anyone who is on our Public Square. Of course, all conversations and connections must be mutually welcomed.
  • Choose how you want to use it - Explore what's on offer and see what resonates. There is no commitment, just opportunity. If nothing calls to you, you are free to use the website as you normally would.
  • All interactions in our online community happen in the secure area of our website - And we will have administrators available to offer help and to moderate discussions.
  • Members are co-creators of this experience - Our community is designed to grow with the imagination, intention and curiosity of our members.
  • Community not commerce - Our Find a Spiritual Director/Companion Guide is already a great place for members to offer their services, so we have decided to make our online community free from solicitations. May our "Public Square" encourage everyone present to listen deeply and always respond with respect.

The Public Square Online Platform is live and waiting for you to join the conversation!

This is a new benefit for SDI Members. Become an SDI Member today, and join in the conversation, along with several other great SDI benefits, as well as supporting our work of advocacy, education, and cultivation of deep listening and spiritual practices across all faith traditions and spiritual orientations.
