Who This Is For:
TPOT spiritual practitioners, and those who like the “grounded woo” blend of meta-rationality, spiritual theology and mature, practice-focused spirituality.
Grounded, college-educated spiritual practitioners from all religions and traditions.
Culturally moderate spiritual practitioners
Mature, open-minded Christians, Jews and Buddhists who want to learn from one another or learn to practice multiple faiths.
Post-rational returners to religion, including adult converts looking to renew the sacred in their lives.
Young families and single people looking for a wholesome, welcoming spiritual community.
People looking for a courageously independent spiritual center, free from ideological capture by any “side” in the culture war.
Messaging Pillars:
The most important message to stress with people you talk to is this: We are a spiritual center focused on growing up, not waking up. Yes, we are based in Dharma, but all of our work is dedicated to helping people build maturity, wisdom and strong characters. If someone comes to us seeking enlightenment, we are happy to make referrals to high-quality teachers who specialize in that.
The second most important message to convey is that we are about STRENGTH and CONNECTION. True strength - the kind that is noble, flexible and as spiritually big as a mountain. We help people build strength by helping them develop four extremely strong Connections:
Connection to Self
Connection to Body
Connection to Community
Connection to the Sacred
We help people build Connection to Self with psychological education and development, self-mastery training, and character formation.
We help people build Connection to Body with embodiment practice, nervous system repair and mastery, and movement disciplines like yoga, martial arts and contact improv
We help people build Connection to Community with sangha (prayer/meditation groups) and spiritual friendship. In the future, we aim to begin providing sacramental services to the community, including hospice volunteering, programs to help support new mothers and families, ministry for people in mourning and crisis, and mentoring young people.
We help people build Connection to the Sacred by offering group meditation and worship, Dharma instruction, and direct experience via wilderness-focused worship. In the future, we aim to begin providing free counseling and healing for those who have suffered religious abuse, helping people to return to their faiths of origin, find a new faith that works for them, or chart their own individual spiritual paths.
Copy Pack
Tone Guidance for Ambassadors
Use plain speech. Sound like a real person telling other real people about something worthwhile.
Lead with what makes Nameless Mountain distinct: it is focused on growing up, not waking up. After that, stress strength and connection.
When possible, mention one or two concrete things money supports: weekly events, retreats, scholarships, infrastructure, staffing.
Keep the vibe warm and sturdy. Avoid grandiosity, spiritual jargon, and nonprofit boilerplate. “I like this because it feels real” is preferable to “we are a transformative interfaith ecosystem.”
Good words: connected, strong, mature, welcoming, serious, honest, practice-focused, independent, durable.
Avoid using words like: transformational, visionary, holistic, sacred container, thriving, impact.
A good formula is: why this matters + what Nameless Mountain does + why you personally are sharing it + link. (http://namelessmountain.org/inaugural)
Of course, we’d love it if you used the messaging pillars above to craft your own messages, along with whatever personal twists you’d like to add. But if you feel like you want to start with a template, here are a few to get you going:

I’m excited about Nameless Mountain because they’re building something I’ve been hungry for: (insert what you like about Nameless Mountain here, e.g. a spiritual center focused on maturity, community, actual embodied practice, and strong character.) They’re putting their focus on what actually holds back Western spiritual practitioners: helping to heal self-hatred and build a strong, connected, grounded character. If that sounds like your kind of thing, memberships and donations are open here: http://namelessmountain.org/inaugural
Most contemporary spirituality has two failure modes: It’s either overly fluffy, vague, and allergic to structure, or it’s totally captured by lineage, tradition and ideology. Nameless Mountain is carving out a genuinely new path forward. They’re offering both paths: enough structure, tradition and discipline to help people form a strong character and a strong faith, but without requiring dogma, rigid commitments or containers that exclude other faiths. They’re doing their first fundraiser now: http://namelessmountain.org/inaugural
I like Nameless Mountain because they’re really focused on substance: they’re practice-focused, they’re working on building a service element as part of spiritual life, and their main goal is building real, substantial community for their practitioners. They’re having their inaugural fundraising campaign now, trying to raise funds for their programs, retreats, scholarships, and the basic infrastructure to make the center work. I’m glad to support it: http://namelessmountain.org/inaugural
So much Western spirituality devolves into narcissism, feel-good fluff and spiritual materialism. I love that VV and co are trying to fix that by building Nameless Mountain. It’s a spiritual center trying to help people build real spiritual strength and connection. That means using anything that works to help people develop: meditation, psychology, community building and support for people from different traditions who actually want to learn from each other. Their campaign is live now. You can check it out here: http://namelessmountain.org/inaugural
Nameless Mountain is one of the more interesting spiritual projects I’ve seen in a while. It’s grounded in Dharma, but the aim isn’t enlightenment. They’re trying to help people become more mature, wise, embodied, and connected. They are explicitly reaching out to practitioners across traditions, including people returning to religion, agnostics and atheists. They’re genuinely trying to be a tide that raises all boats, rather than trying to convince anyone to join their religion. They are currently fundraising for their launch - the page is here: http://namelessmountain.org/inaugural
I’m tired of spiritual spaces getting pulled into every political outrage of the week. Religion should have the dignity to provide space and perspective to better understand what’s happening in the world, not blindly adopt whatever mindless culture war opinion is currently popular on social media. Nameless Mountain is a spiritual center in Boulder trying to carve out exactly that kind of independent, non-ideologically-captured space for the Dharma. If you want to help them launch, here’s the campaign: http://namelessmountain.org/inaugural
This fundraiser is helping launch Nameless Mountain’s first full year of programming. That includes weekly meditation and community events, retreats, scholarships, and the early infrastructure needed to serve people well. I especially like that the mission is practical: grow stronger, build character, deepen friendship, and reconnect with the sacred. Especially as AI begins to eat everything, we need more IRL spaces that are focused on this stuff. You can support Nameless Mountain here: http://namelessmountain.org/inaugural

It’s incredible how many people are both spiritually hungry and socially homeless at the same time. There is such a lack of religion and institutional support in American life for worship and community. Nameless Mountain is building a spiritual center focused on helping people grow up, not just wake up. The emphasis is on maturity, wisdom, strong character, and four kinds of connection: connection to self, body, community, and the sacred. That looks like meditation, embodiment work, retreats, sangha, community events, and a wider vision for practical care over time. The inaugural campaign is raising the money to fund that first real stretch of work in 2026, including weekly programming, retreats, scholarships, community infrastructure, and staff support. If you’ve been wanting a more serious and grounded spiritual home, or want to help build one, here’s the link: [link]
A lot of spiritual practitioners have had the same experience: they are seeking a life with more depth, more discipline, more reverence, more friendship, and more honesty. But when they go looking for community, they struggle to connect with anyone else who has done the work, or they find something flimsy, ideologically captured, culty, or boring. Either it’s thin spiritual gruel, or it’s fluffy, grandiose cotton candy about collective consciousness and awakening and blah blah blah. Nothing that actually nourishes people. That’s why I’m sharing this fundraiser for Nameless Mountain. They’re trying to build something sturdier: a spiritual center where people can become stronger, more connected, and more mature. Its work centers on self, body, community, and the sacred, and the campaign is meant to fund actual programming, not just vibes: meditation, classes, retreats, community gatherings, scholarships, equipment, overhead, and the personnel needed to do it well. The main goal is sustaining membership, because lasting community needs lasting support.

I think a lot of people are hungry for a spiritual life that is deeper, steadier, and less performative. Nameless Mountain is trying to build that kind of spiritual center: a place for maturity, practice, friendship, and reverence. I’m glad it exists, and I’d love to see it grow.

Confidence Sheet
What is Nameless Mountain?
A Dharma-based spiritual center in Boulder, CO that is focused on helping people develop themselves, rather than solely seeking enlightenment.
Why now?
Our social environment has become frighteningly adept at hijacking our attention, fragmenting our children’s development, and turning us into more reactive, manipulable, and divided versions of ourselves. Nameless Mountain is building education and training to help people rebuild attention, strengthen their sense of self, improve cognitive security, develop their character, and recover the inner freedom needed to become a strong, actualized person.
What exactly happens with the money?
Your donations fund equipment and infrastructure for our education programs, as well as paying salaries and helping keep the lights on.
Are donations tax-deductible (and what’s the status)?
We are currently applying to the IRS for tax-exempt status. When we are approved, your donation will be retroactively tax-deductible.
What does a sustaining membership get?
There is a whole list of perks for sustaining members, including exclusive content, event access and dedicated retreats. See the full list here.
Are retreats included or discounted?
Yes, you can book a retreat as a donation!

Programming is led by our executive director, Gabe Broussard. You can read about our approach to safety, ethics and power here.
