Covenant Groups
Participants belong to a covenant group of 5-7 persons who stay together for the entire program. The covenant groups meet three times during every session, and some members stay in touch between sessions.
These groups tends to become close knit, and personal sharing in strictest confidence takes place.
In addition to being a powerful support for one another, members choose to structure some meetings as a practicum in which members rotate responsibility for leading the group in a spiritual practice.

"The program was a very meaningful experience for me, and the fact that we experienced so many spiritual practices over the course of the two years was fantastic. The small covenant group was an unexpected surprise for me. I really wasn't sure I would enjoy that time, but it came to be the time I looked most forward to." –Graduate
