New Contemplatives Gathering – March 2026
March 12 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm PDT
Join us for a meet and greet with fellow members and other contemplatives in the 40-ish or under age range. We’ll talk about the upcoming New Contemplatives cohort for the 2026 SDI Conference, and how to apply. And offer some time for sharing and community.
The New Contemplatives Initiative has historically sought to illuminate the web of connections with and among emerging spiritual companions in hopes of creating more opportunities for spiritual guidance and contemplative formation, particularly for those in the first half of life. We have opened applications for the 2026 Cohort, who receive scholarships to our conference and additional opportunities to connect.
If you identify with any of the following below, we invite you to join us for this informal, informational online gathering!
- Are you new to the field of spiritual direction and companioning?
- Are you on the younger side of the profession?
- Are you doing innovative and non-traditional work in the field?
- Do you want community, support, and mentoring?
- Are you a former New Contemplative?
Join us! March 12, 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern
Conversation facilitated by Rabbi Menachem Cohen and Matt Whitney
