About All Souls
All Souls Interfaith Gathering is a vibrant and welcoming spiritual community in Shelburne, Vermont, serving people from diverse religious traditions as well as those who claim no particular tradition. Rooted in an interspiritual approach, we honor the wisdom found across the world’s faith traditions while encouraging each person to discover and deepen an authentic spiritual path.
Our mission is to cultivate inner peace and inspire connection with Divine Source. Through worship, meditation, spiritual formation, music, small groups, community gatherings, and service, we seek to nurture both individual spiritual growth and compassionate engagement with the wider world.
All Souls is a community that values openness, curiosity, inclusion, and thoughtful spiritual exploration. Our Sunday Music & Spirit gathering combines inspiring music, reflection, meditation, and teachings drawn from many spiritual traditions. Throughout the week, a rich variety of educational, contemplative, and community programs offers opportunities for deeper connection and growth. More information about All Souls is contained in the Congregational Profile, which you may download below.
As we enter a new chapter in our life together, we seek a Lead Pastor who will honor the distinctive spirit of All Souls while helping us imagine and create its future.
