Done with easy answers?
There is something deeper —
and you can live there.

We explore the deep currents beneath theology, psychology, and philosophy — helping people who can’t go back to what they believed before find something richer, more beautiful, and more real.

What people say

“I did not anticipate this conversation — but you have no idea what happened to me when you spoke here last.”

— Retreat attendee, after a single evening talk

“This course gave me language for what I had lived but could not name. A theological breakthrough, written with urgency and care.”

Anthony Bartlett, Ph.D, Theologian & author

“Andre and Mary-Anne have the rare gift of making ancient wisdom feel utterly urgent. Our congregation left changed.”

— Conference organiser, South Africa

“Below its senseless surface lies a swirling depth of possibilities.”

Who we are

Andre & Mary-Anne Rabe

Andre teaches at the intersection of mimetic theory, process philosophy, and the art of meaning-making. Mary-Anne helps people understand how their stories have formed them — and how to step into something truer.

Together they founded Mimesis Academy, now TheDepth community, and have spoken in 20+ countries — from retreat centres to academic conferences to home gatherings.
