Welcome to CPL Membership
A place to keep growing—together.
Lead with purpose. Connect with heart. Create lasting impact.
CPL Membership is an invitation to remain connected to the people, practices, and possibilities that make meaningful change possible.
Whether you have participated in a CPL program, joined us around the Community Hearth, attended a retreat, or are just beginning to discover this community, you are welcome here.
Belonging is where membership begins
Meaningful growth rarely happens through one event or experience. It develops over time—through relationships, reflection, practice, and continued participation.
CPL Membership provides a way to continue that journey.
Membership is not simply a collection of benefits or a financial transaction. It is one meaningful expression of an ongoing relationship with a community of people who want to gather with intention, lead with purpose, and contribute to a world that works for all.
Becoming a member is a way of saying:
I want to remain connected.
I want to continue learning and practicing.
I want to contribute to the life of this community.
I want to help sustain this work for others.
You may feel at home here if…
You value honest conversation, reflection, and meaningful human connection.
You want to grow alongside people with different experiences and perspectives.
You care about how we gather, lead, and create change together.
You are looking for a community that connects purpose with practice.
You want to contribute your presence, questions, experience, or wisdom.
You believe stronger relationships can help create healthier organizations and communities.
You do not need a particular title, profession, or level of experience. You only need a willingness to participate with curiosity, care, and purpose.
Connect and Belong
Develop meaningful relationships with people across CPL’s programs, gatherings, and wider community.
Practice and Grow
Continue developing through reflection, shared learning, purposeful conversation, and the ongoing practice of The Art of Convening®.
Contribute and Lead
Share your experience, support others, volunteer, mentor, facilitate, or help strengthen initiatives that matter to the CPL community.
Sustain the Community
Help make CPL’s gatherings, resources, relationships, and leadership-development opportunities possible for others.
What membership makes possible
A community shaped by its members
Membership is a mutual commitment.
CPL commits to creating welcoming and meaningful opportunities for connection, learning, reflection, contribution, and growth.
Members bring their presence, questions, experience, relationships, generosity, and care.
There is no expectation that every member will participate in everything. We invite you to discover the rhythm and forms of participation that are meaningful and sustainable for you.
Together, we create the community we hope to experience.

“Being a part of this community was the first time in my life I felt fully human with a group of people.”
— John Harris, CPL Member
What members are saying
“Recently, I made a life changing decision. I was invited to attend the weekly Zoom session of “The Hearth”. This humanely-designed, divinely-facilitated, interactive, and heart-centered event made me feel welcome from the very outset. The Hearth has become a wonderful way to start my week—especially in today’s challenging times. And, CPL offers so much more!”
