Our Membership Class is designed as a two-part, asynchronous class. The videos below are Part 1 of the Membership class. These videos are designed to be watched at the participants’ own pace and convenience. After watching these videos, participants may continue to Part 2 of the Membership program, in which participants gather in-person or on Zoom for shared reflection and conversation. Part 2 is offered multiple times throughout the year. You can find more information about Membership Classes, including upcoming meeting dates for Part 2, here.
