Deep Hope Fellowship
A spiritually vibrant learning community
for people seeking companionship on the
quest to manifest their deepest calling for
the benefit of humanity
Helping people discover and express their Spirit-inspired voice for the cause of justice, compassion and sustainability
The Deep Hope Fellowship is for individuals who sense the call to express their truest selves for the increase of justice and compassion in the world.
Some may be noticing the first hints of dissatisfaction with life as it is and wondering if there is a way to invest in what really matters.
Some may be feeling depleted after extended efforts to serve the common good.
Some may be in transition from one chapter to the next, uncertain what will be written next in their life stories.
All are looking for companionship on the heroic spiritual quest of discovering their deepest gift in order to offer it for the healing of the world. All gather in the confidence that the Spirit for which we long, longs for us.

What is involved in the Deep Hope Fellowship?
What are the sources of the Deep Hope Fellowship?
A foundational assumption of the Deep Hope Fellowship is that we are all called by a Spirit within and beyond ourselves to a developmental quest that allows us to express our deepest self for the sake of the higher good.
The Deep Hope journey is informed by an archtypical map of the formational passages along the human journey. This map transcends any single spiritual path. Guides on the Deep Hope journey craft group experiences that assist members in discerning where they are on their own quest and how they might take further steps of growth.
How does one join the Deep Hope Fellowship?
