Welcoming New Listening Circle Members

Three mismatched wooden chairs sit in a sunlit and leafy backyard.

We’re pleased to welcome a new cohort of members to the RCC Listening Circle. This advisory group will be gathering quarterly throughout 2024 to help inform the future of RCC.


Beginning at our first gatherings with retreat center leaders in 2018, RCC leaders have sought community input to increase our collective understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities retreat centers face -- and inform how RCC supports retreat centers in meaningful engagement and collaboration. That circle of ecosystem awareness continues to expand at RCC with the Listening Circle, a diverse group of volunteers from across the sector who make an annual commitment to attend quarterly meetings that inform the Stewardship Circle’s leadership.

We’re grateful for all those who have contributed to the RCC in this capacity since July 2022. It truly takes a village. Thank you for your service!
