Building a Creative Community
One of the Spiritual Arts Foundation's earliest priorities was to create opportunities for people interested in spirituality, creativity and culture to meet, learn and collaborate.
Since 2021, the Foundation has developed a community of more than 2,500 members through its Spiritual Creatives programme and has delivered 129 public events attended more than 2,400 times.
Community Growth
The Foundation's principal community platform is its Spiritual Creatives Meetup group, which has grown steadily since its launch and now includes 2,528 members.
This community brings together artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, performers, academics, spiritual practitioners and members of the wider public who share an interest in the relationship between spirituality and creativity.
The size of the community demonstrates sustained public interest in the Foundation's work and provides an important foundation for future programmes and initiatives.
Public Events
Alongside community growth, the Foundation has maintained an active programme of public events.
Between 2021 and 2025, the Foundation delivered 129 events with a recorded attendance of 2,438 participants.
| Year | Events | Attendances |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 15 | 144 |
| 2022 | 42 | 493 |
| 2023 | 23 | 443 |
| 2024 | 22 | 633 |
| 2025 | 18 | 622 |
| Total | 129 | 2,438 |
Events have included talks, workshops, discussions, screenings, creative gatherings and community activities exploring a wide range of themes connected with spirituality, creativity and culture.
Increasing Participation
Annual attendance increased from 144 participants in 2021 to more than 620 participants in 2025.
While individual events varied in size and format, the overall trend demonstrates continued engagement and a growing willingness among participants to attend Foundation activities.
The Foundation has also begun experimenting with paid workshops and ticketed events, providing early evidence that members of the community are willing to financially support specialist programmes and activities.
What This Demonstrates
The development of a community of more than 2,500 members and the successful delivery of 129 events provides evidence of sustained public interest in the Foundation's work.
These activities have enabled the Foundation not only to reach audiences, but also to create opportunities for discussion, learning, creative exchange and community building around the spiritual arts.
The community that has emerged through these activities now represents one of the Foundation's most significant assets and provides a strong platform for future development.
