Committed Groups
Committed Groups allow time to nurture depth and safety, which support a shared culture of honesty, vulnerability, playfulness, and sacredness. These ongoing groups re-enroll twice a year. Members often continue for multiple cycles, or take breaks and return again. With each cycle we usually have space to welcome a few new group members.
