ABOUT US

The Growing Place is incorporated as a not-for-profit spiritual and educational institution. It is our intent to share a number of venues that can aid in the attainment of purpose, Self-Knowledge, and/or God-Realization.

The Growing Place is not a membership activity. The Growing Place is not a political non-profit , nor does it support any political organization.

Your participation in any of the activities should be from a place of deep spiritual thirst in order to learn more about yourself, and from a place of desire to be about your spiritual path.
