WE ARE THE ONES WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

PUBLIC THEOLOGY & CULTURAL PRODUCTION

People inside a room with a large TV, green screen, and decorative wall art. A woman is sitting on a black couch, and a man in shorts and a cap is standing and looking at his phone.

Conversations that move us toward life.

Black Modern Mystic Media brings scholarship, sacred conversation, and cultural storytelling beyond the academy and into our lives. Rooted in the sacred refusal of the Black hush harbor tradition, the show explores resurrection as a lived practice: telling the truth, resisting dehumanization, and creating life where we were told none could grow.

PILGRIMAGE & formation pathways

Black Modern Mystic programs bring public theology into practice through music, gathering, fellowship, and pilgrimage. Each pathway offers a distinct way to question inherited patterns, deepen communal life, and practice liberation.

THE CLEARING ONLINE: A DIGITAL SANCTUARY

The Clearing Online is a digital sanctuary for spiritual fugitives—people seeking sacred life beyond religious spaces that can no longer hold them. Inspired by the hush harbor tradition, we gather for mourning, study, reorientation, and communal practice. Here, you can bring your questions, honor what you’ve lost, and explore what comes next in community.
