Religare is the latin word for "to reconnect, to bind together" which gave origin to the word religion. Attempts to define religion are manifold and various, but for the time being we will just say that religion is at the heart of an ancient human longing for meaning and oneness, inspiring both the civil and spiritual life. This is indeed an ambitious project, to explore human spiritual quest from the point of view of such different traditions as the path of the Goddess, the voice of Angels, the way of Yoga, the rigor of Zazen, the chants of the Sufi and so many others. We will try to "re-connect" to a wide diversity of traditions and explore the spiritual path by the approach of different disciplines: history, art, linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, theology, sociology, etc... but, more than anything, by the medium of our passions.



“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery



Goethe once said “we are shaped and fashioned by what we love”. Learning when embedded in the heart, as well as the head, converts into wisdom... and we could add that a pinch of [good] humor makes part of this journey; we sincerely hope that this can indeed be a joyful one!





“The great opportunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the center of the world." John Burroughs
