Tuition and Fees 2006-2007     

Advanced Contemplative Study:  $1250/year.  Provides intentional spiritual study and guidance throughout the year. Included in this tuition is the cost of the six-day residential retreat teachings, online contemplative discussions, bi-monthly teachings, individually designed study during each year, and discounts on Beverly’s audio and video lectures series.  May be taken for one year or multiple years.  A Certificate in Advanced Contemplative Study is also available.  Please contact me for further information.

Ordination Program:  $2500/year.  In addition to the educational offerings in Advanced Contemplative Study, the Ordination Program prepares an individual to be an ordained minister, with all the rights and privileges of clergy, in an interfaith contemplative tradition.  Students are guided to form a self-directed program that includes study of the world’s sacred texts and traditions; interfaith spirituality and theology; spirituality of nonviolence; constructive theologies; contemplative and monastic spiritualities; arts of ministry; ethics in ministry; spirituality and healing; new traditions of mystical wisdom; new traditions of spiritual practices; and optional electives.  In addition, students preparing for ordination are required to fulfill pastoral and social justice internships, submit written assignments, maintain and submit a contemplative portfolio, minister’s manual, and philosophy of spiritual vows. Length of program dependent upon individual’s background and preparation for ministry. 

Monastic Program:  $2000/year.   In addition to the educational offerings in Advanced Contemplative Study, the Monastic Program is specially created for individuals who are pursuing a deeper contemplative life-commitment, and who wish to take personal monastic vows witnessed and celebrated by the community.  Study may include elements of the coursework in the Ordination Program, but is geared toward the monastic and mystical teachers of the world’s religions, and the practices, vows, and observances that underlie the monastic vocation throughout history.  This program functions as a kind of hermit-education, in which each participant is responsible to design and fulfill his or her spirit calling, in conversation and mentoring with Beverly.   Students preparing to take monastic vows are required to fulfill a contemplative internship, develop a personal spiritual formation practice, and submit a final contemplative portfolio, which includes their personal and formal life-vows. Length of program dependent upon individual’s background and preparation for monastic vows.
