With everything going on in the world at this time—the stress, the tension, the constant whirlwind of information—we need a place to connect, listen deeply to each other, and have a shared space of belonging.
The Companioning Center is a place that offers this contemplative and compassionate space. We often hear how what we created through the Center meets people this way. The words in the image above are what our community shares about the space we host. The size of the text of each word is based on the frequency they are used. We hear this from those in our Community spaces, our programs, and our courses represented in the word cloud included above. The Companioning Center meets this need for many across the nation and even the world.
This is where we need your help. To maintain low course fees while also keeping the Companioning Center sustainable, we need financial partners. We desire to pay a living wage to those supporting this platform with administrative gifts. We also want to help our instructors support themselves as they offer their unique gifts in the world. In addition, as costs seem to keep rising for living expenses, we often get requests for scholarships - people want to join in and grow in their spiritual relationships, but cannot do so due to the rising costs. We desire to offer this kind of assistance while also keeping our costs low.
Our workshops range from $35-$75, our courses from $150-$300, and our programs $250-$318 monthly. Any amount of support will help those who are unable to afford this kind of experience. In addition, a monthly donation will help create the sustainability we need to continue hosting this space. Our board is fully committed to this campaign with 100% participation. Will you join us in this good work? Any amount will help us along the way.
We are excited about this very celebratory campaign—it celebrates the space we share together and our hope for the future. So, let's begin!

Would you consider financially partnering with us?
Several people have asked to join us in our work by donating funds for scholarships and admin support. We are excited to provide an opportunity for others to join us in this way as we continue to offer courses and training programs that allow students to enter into the spiritual formation journey.
A tax-deductible gift of $40-$75 allows someone to join a workshop - $125-$350 covers the cost of one of our spiritual formation courses. Training programs run between $240 and $318/mo. Any amount of a single donation or a monthly recurring contribution would help to support our current and incoming scholarship recipients and the cost of hosting this platform.
