Registration Opens February 16th!

Soularize is an inspirational three-day gathering that unites spiritual leaders, innovators, artists, and changemakers to connect, learn, and spark new possibilities at the intersection of humane spirituality and action.

 

Why Be In The Room 

The problems facing our world are too complex and interconnected for any one person or organization to solve alone. Meaningful change happens at intersections—where wisdom from diverse spiritual backgrounds meets expertise from different fields, where activists connect with artists, and where established leaders encounter emerging voices. Soularize creates that rare space where trust-based relationships can form and deepen, where resources and knowledge flow freely, and where cooperation matters more than competition. Since 2001, Soularize has been the original “learning party” for spiritual innovators—and in 2026, we’re gathering again to nurture the connections, collaborations, and collective resilience our world desperately needs.

What You'll Experience

Whether you’re leading a network, building an organization, or pioneering new approaches to spiritual or social change, Soularize is a unique opportunity to see your work as part of a larger whole (more to be announced February 16th).
