The Haven Collective

The Haven Collective is a ministry of St. Cornelius Episcopal Church, created as a sacred space for those seeking a deeper, embodied encounter with God. While St. Cornelius nurtures parish life through worship and community, The Haven Collective extends that life by offering pathways of healing, mysticism, and spiritual formation.

Here, we believe that spiritual growth and discipleship begin in our bodies—the living temples God has given us. Healing, wholeness, and connection with the Divine are not abstract ideas, but practices we live into with breath, movement, and community.

Who The Haven Collective Is For

The Haven Collective welcomes:

Seekers, wanderers, mystics, and skeptics longing for something deeper.
Those carrying wounds from religion who are looking for restoration.
Creatives, healers, and justice advocates exploring new ways of encountering God.
Anyone hungry for holistic spirituality rooted in healing and wholeness.

What You’ll Experience

The Haven Collective offers:

Embodied spirituality

Yoga, meditation, reiki, sound healing, and energy work as pathways into God’s presence.

Mystical and ecstatic worship

Prayer through movement, music, and sacrament.

Contemplative listening and discernment

Spiritual direction and practices that honor silence and the Spirit’s wisdom.

Wisdom-sharing

Classes and conversations weaving together Christian mysticism, Indigenous traditions, and perennial wisdom.

Seasonal retreats and pilgrimages

Opportunities for rest, silence, and deep spiritual nourishment.

Rooted in Justice and Repair

The Haven Collective also participates in truth-telling and healing around the Doctrine of Discovery and its legacy of harm against Indigenous peoples. This commitment is not separate from our mission—it is central to the Gospel work of reconciliation and justice. Locally, this includes land acknowledgment, partnerships, and learning from the wisdom of Indigenous traditions about care for creation and community healing.

Our Vision

The Haven Collective is both a spiritual center and a community of healing. It complements the traditional life of St. Cornelius by opening new doorways into God’s love. Here, tradition meets innovation, the Eucharist meets the ecstatic, and healing meets hope. We invite you to explore, belong, and be transformed.
