Harmony Interfaith Initiative
After a lifetime of exploring firsthand spiritual practices, Bergmann decided to try a different approach in his quest to understand religion and spirituality. He entered All Faiths Seminary in 2016. During his studies, he unveiled Experifaith, an interfaith model that shows how all the world’s religions are connected through human experiences. In 2018, he founded Harmony Interfaith Initiative, an educational and social good interfaith organization, whose purpose it is to provide people with ideas and strategies that promote social harmony and bridge-building.
Books
Bergmann is both a novelist and nonfiction author. His novels are spiritual but not mindlessly positive, mysterious but don't revolve around criminal elements, and philosophical but not so deep as to put the reader to sleep. His nonfiction books are practical and to the point. He has written extensively about self-development and spirituality, including books on yoga, meditation, smoking cessation, stress management and more.
