LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Last year, the Desert Sanctuary initiated the Nomad 2020 online conference during the pandemic. Ever since that day, I have been dreaming of this event. I wanted to lean forward and look toward the future with all the other spiritual nomads and seekers. I wanted to bring together people with differing vantage points to see if we could see what is over the horizon.

To be on this journey and truly experience the adventure, we have to move forward with some amount of uncertainty and a fair amount of courage and vulnerability.

But that doesn’t mean that some things aren’t becoming clearer. People are discovering the same types of things and that is where we can benefit together.

Let us walk together, you and I, and find healing and genuine love, and peace. What we find won’t be a formula and we won’t write a dogma, but I believe the answers are just over the horizon if we LEAN FORWARD!
