A Community of Practice
Community of Practice 2023
Bread of Life offers community and practices that support the intentional spiritual journey toward fullness of life and courageous offering of gifts to the world. We have faithfully carried out that mission since 1997.
In a discernment process in 2021-2022, many of our dedicated friends, supporters, and participants expressed a longing for a more articulated community structure at the core of Bread of Life to support mutual practice in the depth contemplative life that flows into the world. In 2022 we formally launched our Community of Practice for those who seek dedicated companionship aligned with the mission of Bread of Life on “the solitary journey we cannot make alone.”
“I’m developing a deeper sense of my unique spiritual identity, releasing my adaptive self while welcoming and embracing my authentic self.”
“The value for me in being part of this community is being reminded of foundational truths which are vital in cultivating deeper wholeness and greater freedom for my personal wellbeing, and hopefully, through my engagement of others and life circumstances also become a blessing in this world. ”
Wondering whether this might be a fit for you? Take a look at our Community of Practice Vision Statement and the Preliminary Community of Practice Agreements. The Community accepts applications in November-December for the following year.
We invite you to take time to sit with what we envision and what it may mean for you. If you feel drawn to help us further define the Community of Practice, please read through our Invitation to see if you might want to become a part of this movement at Bread of Life.
