Guild Associates in Ministry are those Friends of the Northeast Guild for Spiritual Formation who applied for and entered into a covenant with the Guild to become either an Associated Ministry, a Local Table Coordinator, or Guild Institute staff.
Our life as Guild Associates is grounded in three shared practices: Guild Rule of Life, Guild Guidelines for Ethical Conduct, and Guidelines for Small and Large Group Conversations. Guild Associates provide programs and support to all who yearn to deepen their relationship with God and to bring the gifts of contemplative living to their personal lives and communities. We value and honor silence in all our programs. Our experience is that a unique kind of community grows where space is made for contemplative silence at its center. We see participants in our programs as actively engaged in the transformation of humanity, society and our shared world.
