Casper ter Kuile went into divinity school as a gay atheist, and emerged with a rich spiritual life that is not anchored in a specific religious tradition.
Casper is an author, podcaster and community leader who’s interested in the future of communion and religion and is passionate about understanding how people make meaning, experience beauty, and form relationships, in a time when traditional institutions are falling by the wayside.
He grew up in a Steiner school in Sussex, which was focused on creativity, nature, ritual, and community. After University, he was involved in mobilising young people around climate change, but eventually lost hope and suffered burnout. This led him to study at Harvard Divinity School, where he explored the relationship between change on the inside and change in the world outside.
