Dedication to 20 minutes or more of
contemplative practice
Tier II clients are expected to have an established contemplative practice.
We can help you establish a daily practice of your choosing. There is a practice for everyone!
Your daily practice is an opportunity to learn more about yourself, heal, and build resiliency.
Every person is different - we will reflect on your experience, discuss themes that have come up, and provide individualized guidance for your next steps.
One-on-one, hour-long sessions with our founder,
Laura Hill
We will meet once a week one-on-one or while working together and in partnership on community projects.
We are here to match your personal interest to various community projects involving local partners.
We will help you craft your project's visions and goals and implement them in the local community.
We will facilitate your "next steps" as you forge a personal path that best matches your passions, skills, and interests.
Before enrolling in our programs, let's make sure we are a good match! We are interested in talking with you first to see if our Gap Year Programs will meet your needs, and if you are a good fit for our programs. Please set up a 30-minute meeting with Laura Hill here!
