Neotopia is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, founded by Jillian Mason Shannon.
Neotopia is a sanctuary for skeptics and seekers.
It began on Instagram as a place to deconstruct our preconditioned notions about God and reconstruct to promote human flourishing.
In 2023, we opened Neotopia Books, a brick and mortar bookstore in San Antonio, TX, to bring the online conversation to an in-person community and sell books and resources in the realm of theology, philosophy and culture.
In 2024, Neotopia converted to a non-profit organization - fully powered by the generosity of others - so that we may bring cutting-edge theological education to the secular world in accessible, creative and relevant ways.
We closed the physical place in 2024 and now sell our books fully online, host a podcast, and throw events. panels, book clubs and classes both virtually and in pop-up locations around the country.
Our mission is to bridge the divide between religion and culture and bring an educated, life-affirming theology into the forefront to counter the fundamentalist religious stances that currently rule the conversation.
We carry a carefully curated selection of literature in the realm of theology, philosophy and culture, and we hold classes, panels, book clubs and happenings both virtually and in-person in San Antonio, TX.
