What is the structure of the Apprentice Program?
It consists of a 3-day orientation in January 2012 and then monthly 24 hour retreats over the next two years, with the exception for the months of July and August. The retreats generally run from 4:00 p.m. on Friday to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Apprentices continue their reading, writing and spiritual practices in between the monthly retreats. After graduation from the Apprentice Program, participants become Members of the Graduate Guild. Graduate Guild Members have the opportunity to come together two times a year.
