M54 is inviting applications for Shluchos Cohort 6
The cohort is limited to 10 participants who meet weekly for 12 Zoom sessions (1–2:30 PM EST - day of the week TBD, it's typically Tuesday or Wednesday) and gather for a 3-day in-person retreat.
The cohort begins after Pesach, with the retreat taking place on the east coast and about 5-6 weeks after it begins. The full experience unfolds over about 4 months.
Participants receive a comprehensive handbook that guides them through the entire program. By the conclusion of the program, participants will have a clear understanding of the process and practice of Avoda Pnimis - and be able to implement it into their lives.
Program Investment: $2,000 (includes retreat; airfare not included).
The actual cost of the full program — including the 3-day retreat and 12 Zoom sessions — is $5,000. Thanks to donor partnership, M54 is able to subsidize the difference.
Couple Participation: Recognizing that Chabad Houses are run by couples, we recommend that both Shliach and Shlucha participate in the M54 Shlichus Cohort to develop a shared language of reflection and growth. Each participant in a couple receives a $200 discount. For the Shluchim Cohort application please visit here.
Next Steps: After receiving your application, we'll schedule a Zoom conversation to get to know one another and determine if this experience is a good fit.
Warmly,
Chanie Chein and the M54 Team
