Community Living Program
Fees
Monthly fee (includes tuition, room & board) up to $1,000
If transportation is needed, there is an additional fee of up to $200 per month.
There are no refunds after payment is received.
All fees are payable upon acceptance into the program. Let us know if there is a financial hardship. Fees are negotiable depending on individual circumstances.
Length of Stay
Length of stay is in increments of one month. To get the most benefit from the program, potential applicants should consider at what stage they are in their lives and what their past experiences have been. To get to know oneself, to face recurring issues, to learn about one’s gifts does take time. To learn how to live in community, to practice consensus and conflict resolution also takes a committment of time. A six month stay, a year long stay - those types of time periods allow ample opportunities to learn, to practice, to become confident in a new way of living. Shorter stays are also possibilities; the experience is tailored to individual needs.
Participants may continue their association with the community indefinitely. For those who live in the area, there are regularly scheduled meetings so that we can remember and remind one another of what we learned.
The community living program takes a break during the month of December and resumes again after the New Year.
