Questions, Answered
What is Prisma?
What is Prisma?
Prisma is a platform that explores the wisdom of the world's religious traditions through a podcast and journal, guided by leading scholars, faith leaders, and cultural guides. It's a non-proselytizing space to learn and reflect — not worship, not religious instruction — designed to help people find insight and practices that speak to them.
Who is Prisma for?
Prisma is for anyone curious about religious and spiritual traditions, whether they're observant, spiritual, agnostic, or simply searching. No background knowledge or belief is required to take part.
Is Prisma affiliated with any religion or organization?
No. Prisma is independent and non-denominational. It draws on many religious traditions without belonging to, endorsing, or promoting any one of them.
Do I have to be religious to use Prisma?
No. Prisma does not require any religious belief or affiliation. While some of our users come from strong religious backgrounds, others have stepped away from organized religion or were never part of one, and come to Prisma to explore these traditions as a source of meaning rather than faith.
Is Prisma trying to convert people to a religion?
No. Prisma is strictly non-proselytizing. It explores religious traditions to understand them, never to recruit, and is not affiliated with or promoting any single religion. Visitors are invited to take what speaks to them and leave the rest.
What topics does Prisma cover?
Prisma covers the big questions of human life — meaning, ethics, mortality, love, suffering, ritual, forgiveness, and how to live well — explored through the lens of different religious traditions. Each conversation typically pairs a theme, such as marriage or grief, with the wisdom of a specific tradition or group of traditions.
Which religious traditions does Prisma explore?
Prisma explores large contemporary religions, such as Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity, as well as indigenous traditions from the Amazon to African Shamanism, and even the ancient beliefs of Egypt, Sumer and more. Rather than ranking or comparing them, Prisma presents traditions alongside one another so people can draw their own connections.
Who are Prisma's contributors?
Prisma's contributors are world-recognized scholars, teachers, and practitioners who bring depth and a creative approach to the traditions they share. Many speak from within the tradition they practice, while others study it academically.
What is the difference between the Prisma podcast and journal?
The Prisma podcast features conversations with scholars and practitioners that bring ancient traditions into modern life, available to watch or listen to. The Prisma journal offers written reflections on nuanced topics that invite deeper questioning and wider perspective.
