You were made for more than surface living
TheDepth is a community of curious souls — and a place to go deeper through structured courses. Join today, or go straight to our first course.
Most of us navigate the deepest questions of life in isolation — without companions, without guides, without the creative friction that only genuine community provides.
TheDepth exists to change that. A place where intellectual rigour and personal transformation are not in tension — they are the same journey.

One community. Three levels of immersion.
Start light and go as deep as you choose. Every tier builds on the last — and you can change at any time.

Course InfoNot a feed. A fellowship.
Unlike social media, TheDepth is built for sustained attention and genuine connection — a space that remembers your journey, not just your last post.
What we explore
Three dimensions of the journey
Every book, conversation, and practice in TheDepth circles these three interconnected questions — revisited and deepened as you grow.
How do we understand reality?
Mimetic theory, process philosophy, the origins of religion and violence — the deep maps we inhabit without knowing it, and how to redraw them.
Who am I, and how has my story shaped me?
Drawing on the narrative psychology and other tools for understanding yourself and rewriting what no longer serves.
What does a living encounter with God feel like?
Beyond stale religious categories — an expanded image of God, contemplative silence, and meaning that is felt, not only understood.
Life inside TheDepth
Six experiences on the journey
Every feature is designed to create genuine transformation — not more content to consume, but experiences that land differently when shared.
Go even deeper
Structured courses, built for depth
Multi-month, cohort-based programs combining video lessons, written assignments, peer forums, and live calls — going hand in hand with your community membership.
Who we are
André & Mary-Anne Rabe
André 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.
Voices from the journey
What members say
I AM UNDONE! There is a reality so much deeper, wider, and higher than what I had settled for. You can only experience it — and this community keeps drawing me back toward it.
I am finding a place for some of the most difficult things in my life — seeing how they can be woven into a beautiful tapestry, how there can be gratitude for what can be transformed.
This is not another online course you consume and forget. Something in me has genuinely shifted — in how I see God, myself, and the people I live with. The community makes it stick.
