Doug Hammack

I’m Doug Hammack.

For 30 years, I led a non-traditional spiritual community in Raleigh, NC — a community committed to deconstructing and reconstructing religion, practice, and spiritual belonging. It was messy, meaningful, and transformative for a lot of us.

Along the way, I wrote a book about our journey. The denomination wasn’t thrilled — they excommunicated us and took our building. 

Which... was about the best thing that could have happened to us. Our community survived, evolved, and thrives today — under younger leadership now that I’ve retired.

Now, I’m focused on my next chapter—supporting younger leaders who are reimagining spiritual community in this tumultuous historical moment—leaders building something human, grounded, spacious, and actually transformative.

If you’re doing that work — or dreaming about it — come find me. 
Let's talk.
