About

Like holding a warm cup of coffee in your hand on a cold winter morning, Coffee Cup Spirituality is a place to feel surrounded by love, to find comfort and rest, and to enjoy the abundant beauty of the world.

We experience and celebrate spirituality here. We use contemplative practices and spend time in the natural world to help us connect more deeply with the Divine/Spirit/Source. We restore in ourselves a sense of awe and wonder, and we experience the transcendent. We can discover – or know more fully - that we are completely and deeply loved.

We think that spirituality should not be difficult. In the time it takes you to drink your morning cup of coffee, you can engage with the Divine and find the peace and love that is offered to us all.

Our Founder

Coffee Cup Spirituality was founded by Rev. Susan Alker, who is an ordained interfaith minister. Susan's calling to ministry, and her deepest desire, is to help people experience the reality of the endless love of the Divine.

She believes that God is for everyone and loves everyone, whether or not they participate in traditional religion or organized faith communities.

In addition to her other work, Susan is a student at Yale Divinity School in the Andover Newton Seminary program, where she is researching eco-mysticism and eco-spirituality.
