Frequently Asked Questions About Membership

You can become a member of the Center for $20 a month, or less if you join with a friend. For more information, visit the links at the bottom of this page.

No. Most events are free and open to the public, and you don't need to be a member in order to participate. You can attend as many events as you like (except for Members-Only events), and you won't be pushed or prodded to join.

We have a number of members-only events every month, giving members a chance to connect with and get to know other members in depth. Check out the calendar for this month's events. In addition to the monthly events, we have activities that repeat every year such as our camp out, which is held twice a year, and our Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas Dinner.

Membership gives you a chance to start on what can be the most exciting, challenging and fulfilling adventure of your life: discovering your own unique feelings, talents and beliefs -- your true self -- and then allowing that knowledge to transform the nature of your life. You might want to consider becoming a member if:

• You're no longer satisfied with letting other people decide who and what you should be
• You're tired of somber-faced, solemn personal-growth groups, and just as tired of superficial bars and cocktail parties
• You long to connect with other like-minded folks who want to be real, open, honest and playful.

Sure, you get a number of discounts and other benefits by being a member, but finances aren't what membership is really all about. Membership is about building emotionally-healthy community; it is a chance to invent your own family of choice, which can be a very different thing from your family of origin. It offers you a chance to grow at your own pace, and to connect with like-minded individuals who are committed to creativity, assertiveness, open-hearted communication, self-esteem, playfulness and personal growth.

If you're interested in membership and finances are an issue, call us. Chances are really good that we can work something out. Our goal is to help people grow, and we don't want to let something like money stand in the way.
