Listening Collective: First-Time Membership Payment

The Listening Collective is a gathering of kindred hearts connecting with God, the Source of Life, ourselves and all creation. As a professional organization, we enrich the art and skills of deep listening, share practices, stories, and resources, and feel the warmth of peer-led support and encouragement in the life-giving vocation of soul companioning.

Rolling Ridge is a sacred space of natural beauty, gracious hospitality, and spiritually transforming programs, connecting all people, God, and creation. Rooted in the Christian Contemplative tradition, our commitment to the nurture and growth of spiritual directors, spiritual companions, and deep listeners invites those who have completed a recognized training program to support our mission and join our Listening Collective as a member.

The Member Application questions include:
 Reason for seeking membership
