Will you be one of our first 100 Founding Partners?

Together, we’re resourcing an embodied faith that is rooted and resilient, growing in courageous hope and connected love.

From Fragmented Faith to...

Tragically, so many people, churches, and leaders are stuck in a fragmented faith that leads to stagnation instead of transformation. Your generosity makes possible the resourcing and training of an integrated faith that works with (instead of against) how God formed and is forming us.

Over the last two years, The Center for Embodied Faith has reached and resourced over half a million people through our website, annual summit, podcast, and newsletter. We have trained 1541 people and supervise 43 doctoral students.

With your help, we can continue cultivating an embodied faith that takes root in real life and grows into resilient communities.

We are looking for our first 100 Founding Partners

Support us as one of the first 100 Founding Partners with a monthly gift to help us become stabilized and sustainable (rooting), to spread out and speed up (branching), and to reach higher and farther (canopy).

Who Are We?

Moving forward from their own DEEP WOUNDS and DISCONNECTED PATTERNS, Geoff and Cyd Holsclaw (the co-founders of the Center For Embodied Faith) began learning about how our minds, memories, and bodies can keep us trapped in the past and fearful about the future—in their relationships and spirituality.

Both Geoff and Cyd have been in pastoral ministry for over 20 years.
Co-authors of Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection and Does God Really Like Me? Discovering the God Who Wants to be With Us.
