If you are interested in experiencing our community for a short stay, please join us for a Community Experience Weekend. Come Friday night for dinner and stay through Sunday lunch and tour.

For in depth experience in spiritual living and the community environment, -- please consider our on-going Spiritual Living Apprenticeship Program. It is hands-on learning and spiritual service in our various work departments, and much more (2 month minimum). Contact our office at 413-259-1251 or email us: sirius@siriuscommunity.org.
We also offer a non-residential Spiritual Living Course consisting of six weekend seminars November through April. Emphasis is on learning to use daily life as the medium through which greater spiritual awareness and alignment blossom.This course is free of charge and open to those who are willing to commit to the entire course. Click here for more details and application.
Associate Membership is for people who feel aligned with Sirius Community and want a more formalized connection with us than guest status. In exchange for $50 for single or $75 for family yearly membership dues, we give you a quarterly newsletter, $15 off any of our own workshops, and first choice of accommodations when you stay with us. It’s a wonderful way to contribute to the community from near or far.
