After completing the two-year Apprenticeship Program, The Guild for Spiritual Guidance offers graduates an opportunity for life-long involvement in the Graduate Circle.
The Guild provides programs, activities, and resources to support and encourage spiritual practice and sacred activism in each one’s chosen arena of engagement.
