There are three ways of belonging to our community: the “exploring” way, the “companion” way, and the “vowed” way. Companions are vital supporters of our Vowed Community. In the Companion Way of belonging, you can begin to more seriously engage with our rule and rhythm of life.
You can either add elements of our Rule to your daily rhythm on your own, or can receive support from Vowed members in adopting our Rule. Companions must first complete our Guided Exploring Way program.
Companions commit to:
An adapted version of our Rule of Life that is suited to your particular needs
A monthly online gathering with fellow Companions to share in practice and conversation
Shared readings on contemplative spirituality
Attend an annual 2-day online retreat
Applications to the Companion Way open once a year in the Spring with the program beginning in the Fall semester. Applications are announced via our newsletter.
