Commune in Color is a BIPOC and LGBTQ+ founded organization focused on helping people heal from religious trauma. We provide supportive and nonjudgmental spaces where all people can freely explore and develop individual and communal spiritual beliefs, ideologies, and practices. Our mission is to empower and uplift people on this journey by offering services that honor, affirm, and normalize anti-oppressive paths to spiritual well-being. We are guided by the vision of creating a “Heaven on Earth” through inclusive and liberating approaches to faith and spirituality.

PHILOSOPHY
​We hold that the concept of divinity transcends any single path to enlightenment or one 'right' way to live. It encompasses the richness of human culture, history, and perspective.
​
We oppose any form of oppression or marginalization done in the name of divinity or religion, and we advocate for open, inclusive approaches to monotheistic, polytheistic, etc, belief systems as pathways to collective peace.
​
Our core values:
-
Limitless Curiosity
-
Internalized Divinity
-
Spiritual Practice (Personal and Communal)
-
Diversity of Faith
"I heard once that God enters the heart of diverse humanity through a personalized door. I wish that everyone would find and unlock their door."
- Riana Roston CiC Founder
Limitless Curiosity
​Limitless Curiosity normalizes asking questions as part of a healthy relationship with God(higher power). It allows space for doubt to open doors for deeper understanding and connection with God. Curiosity is a bridge to God, not an act of faithlessness.
Internalized Divinity
Internalized Divinity embraces and believes in one's innate ability to connect with a higher power within and all by themselves. It is the authority one gives oneself to define God, Faith, and spiritual beliefs.
Spiritual Practice
Your Spiritual Practice includes the rituals, routines, and principles one lives out for well-being, strength, and connection to God. It is the method(s) one chooses to lead a “good and honorable” life, as they define it.
Diversity of Faith
Those who affirm a Diversity of Faith affirm that God comes in vast forms. Thus, there is no “wrong” faith or path for connecting with God. Your faith can and may change/evolve in your lifetime. This is okay.
