Church of Ambrosia Presents

Spirituality & Beyond 2026

Easter Weekend · April 3-5 · Humanist Hall, Oakland

Featuring Reggie Watts · Shane Mauss · Pastor Dave Hodges

Not a Conference. A Communion.

Spirituality & Beyond is the Church of Ambrosia’s sixth annual Easter weekend gathering in Oakland. Three days of talks, ceremony, music, comedy, and community at Humanist Hall. Reggie Watts and Shane Mauss headline.

As many around the world gather for Easter, a season marked by resurrection, renewal, and the ritual of communion, we invite you into another kind of gathering.

This Easter weekend, the Church of Ambrosia invites you to commune with the sacred in all its forms: within, between, and beyond us.

Spirituality & Beyond is a community gathering, not a conference. The schedule exists, but the gathering is shaped by the people in the room. Talks open into dialogue. Speakers stay and listen. Ideas integrate across meals, in the makerspace, and between strangers who become, by Sunday afternoon, something more.

This is our sixth year. It keeps getting better.
