What is Interfaith? The world has so many beautiful religions, what if we could all come together and worship together? What if we could build bridges instead of walls? Is it possible to find unity? The Interfaith Temple is a 501c-3 religious organization, providing weekly online worship/puja/services focused on the commonalities of the world's religions. We incorporate the upcoming holy days, scriptures, music, readings, meditations and beautiful, deeply spiritual messages to help us all understand each other a little better. We invite all to "come as you are, and as you believe".

Our natural instincts keep our consciousness so enslaved in doing their bidding that we fail to seek its release from them.
The purpose of this event is to experience a practical, systematic and never failing strategy of raising human consciousness above our survival instincts which are all consuming. Humans are the only species with an inbuilt ability of doing so but we are largely unaware of it.

Yogic contemplation of antiquity is a superconscious, comprehensive, multifaceted, far reaching and transformative technology which can be used for various ends. If the purpose is to know physics like Einstein did, it can lead to it; if the purpose is to love the One God and love the neighbour, it can lead to it; and if the purpose is to usher in an era of world unity, it can lead to it also.

Soft Skills are emerging as the single most critical need in education and for workers and corporations. This is true no matter where a person is or what a person does. Soft Skills are critical skills. These soft skills include creativity, collaboration, leadership, emotional intelligence, global thinking, cross boundary team building, critical thinking, and whole system design. Learning these makes the critical difference is the competition for existing jobs, which is getting more and more severe. Increasingly, companies choose employees on the basis of Soft Skills.

The denigration of our planetary environment has reached a critical point — in the last 50 years there has been a 69% loss of biodiversity of animals, plants, birds, fish, insects, and forests, according to the World Wildlife Fund. This means that sustainability is no longer an option for humanity. One cannot be sustainable with a destroyed habitat. The only option left for us is regeneration. Regenerative Development is a holistic approach to development where the conditions for life are enhanced.
