What Is Seminary of the Street?
 
Seminary of the Street is a school for the training of love warriors working toward the transformation of their communities by embodying God’s love in the world.
 
Students cultivate the resilience, the unsentimental awareness of oppressive systems, the skills, and the deep and sustaining relationships to respond to injustice with steadfast love and creativity. Exposed to theological concepts that challenge conventional ways of living, they are encouraged to cultivate an alternative way of being rooted in nonmarket practices like love, generosity, tenderness, and wonder, a way of being so compelling that it challenges the legitimacy of dominant social systems.
 
Breaking News!

  • Join us for Liberate Christmas Eve! on December 24.
  • We are actively working to be transformed by the Occupy Oakland movement and to bring a spirit of fierce love to the table.  We will be offering a number of discussions and workshops on site in January. Click through for details.
  • We are now piloting our new "Recovery from the Dominant Culture" 12-step group for anyone who longs to be more fully alive! Check here to learn more about how you can heal from being socialized in a culture that too often privileges self-preservation and self-aggrandizement. We'll be posting complete meeting materials once they've been piloted in this first group.
