Twelve Paths: Live a More Centered Life

Our Story

In 2025, we launched our first program, "The Urban Retreat," designed for individuals seeking spiritual enlightenment, rejuvenation, and a sense of community amidst the demands of contemporary life.  Our approach draws upon both ancient and modern spiritual wisdom to inspire individuals toward wholeness and to live a more centered life. To build a life, as we say, that can hold you.


Twelve Paths now offers several new programs, grounded in our four foundational principles of love, inclusivity, community, and spirituality.  Offerings now include: The Urban Retreat; one-on-one spiritual support; custom designed workshops & events for groups; speaker/celebrant services; and a spiritual community opportunity that we call our Twelve Paths Sangha.


For over four decades, Rick Eberhardt, Jr., MA Ed, founder of Twelve Paths, has dedicated his professional and personal life to serving as a spiritual guide, retreat leader, minister, social worker, and stay-at-home dad.  He created Twelve Paths inspired by the universal wisdom teachings that informed his own spiritual growth and understanding.

One of the most important —and most neglected—elements in the beginnings of the interior life is the ability to respond to reality, to see the value and beauty in ordinary things, to come alive to the splendor that is all around us.
