I am spiritually searching
Begin free.
Come to The Gathering first. No pressure, no performance, and no need to explain your whole story. Just listen, breathe, and see if the room feels true.

If you are new, begin gently.
You do not have to understand the whole path today. Start with one honest step: join a free gathering, read the book that speaks to your season, explore an Authenticity Group, or ask about rest at The Pearl.
What is this work?
A practical path back to freedom.
Gil Hodges Freedom helps spiritually hungry people recognize old agreements, inherited scripts, fear-based performance, and the programming that has been shaping their lives.
The work is not about forcing belief or giving you another system to perform. It is about learning to notice what has been running you, choosing from a freer place, and practicing that freedom in relationships, rest, work, community, and spiritual life.
Gil teaches through books, Sunday gatherings, meditations, courses, Authenticity Groups, and The Pearl in Collinsville, Mississippi.
