Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
In 2024, we continued to advanced our mission by expanding our efforts in each of our three main areas of focus: holistic education, community building, and spiritual discovery. We completed another successful round of our certificate program in process thought and practice with 15 graduates, developed several new course offerings, and hosted numerous learning circles and pop-up events. Participation in our cohorts and engagement with our online communities grew significantly, and we collaborated with local leaders and organizations in the Pomona area on public benefit initiatives. We also continued our work with Process & Faith, co-sponsored offerings with other interfaith organizations, and hosted a variety of events devoted to relational forms of spirituality.-$80,023
