Alumni Network: Get Involved

This year at Life Together we're turning our attention to cultivating, supporting, and further empowering alumni to participate in a network of prayerful and prophetic leaders. Our investment in the Alumni Network reflects our hope that a Life Together fellowship year is the beginning of a lifelong relationship to our network of spiritual activists and dreamers, spanning across the US and globe. If you have ideas outside of what is listed below, contact  - we’d love to hear from you!

Life Together Alumni Offerings as of November 2015Retreat opportunities (local):

  • Our fall retreat at Hallelujah Farms has passed, but we're going a second time this year, on Feb. 26 - 28th. Registration for the February retreat isn't open yet, but please mark your calendars and keep your eyes peeled (on the LT newsletter and through the alumni listserv) for when registration opens.

Trainings and community-building (local): 

  • We had the Rev. Alexia Salvatierra faith-rooted organizing training and Co-Creation dinner in August. The Christmas party is December 11th; Love Matters is May 14th. This month (Oct) we have a refresher training on One-to-One Relational Meetings at 40 Prescott Street on Tuesday October 27th from 6:30 to 8:30. RSVP to if you’re interested, and please bring $10 to cover dinner; space is limited!  

Mini-Grants: 

  • This is new: APPLY HERE! We are looking to encourage prayerful and prophetic work of fellows & alumni through micro-grants - small investments that enable you and others to carry out some cool project or community-building initiative you're dreaming about (up to $100, with the possibility of $150 in special circumstances). Anyone can apply for these grants, you don't have to be local to Boston. 

Communication:

  • We began a listserv/google group so that alumni can connect directly with each other about opportunities; (follow this link and click “apply for membership” - Rebecca will add you if you’re an alum!)
  • We're updating our LinkedIn page so that alumni can connect professionally;
  • This webpage! We intend to update this page regularly so that its content is current.

Working Groups (local):

  • These are opportunities for you to participate in and influence the vision and implementation of the Life Together programming year.
  • The Recruitment Working Group, our team for interviewing and hiring new year's fellows, is underway. Contact Will Harron at [email protected] to learn more about joining the group.
  • We will begin recruiting for the Love Matters working group.

Contemplative Action Small Groups (local):

  • These groups are just taking shape. We hope to bring together people who work for justice in the world and want a contemplative spiritual community with folks immersed in their own contemplative practices who are seeking a community that will support them to take action for collective liberation. Contact  if you're interested, and read more here.

Affinity Groups (local):

  • We're working to connect alumni with similar interests, who can also act as a resource and source of accountability to Life Together staff and the leadership team. These are still in the dreaming phase - we'll let you know once a group has coalesced. (And if you have an idea for an affinity group, let know!)
