Mission and programs · 2025

• THE ORGANIZATION OFFERS TWO PROGRAMS: GROUNDWORK AND A GUIDE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM. THE PURPOSE OF THE 8-MONTH GROUNDWORK PROGRAM IS TO OFFER THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN, INTENDING TO, OR CURRENTLY FACILITATING NON-ORDINARY OR POTENTIALLY TRANSFORMATIONAL STATES, AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO INNER EXPLORATION WORK RELATED TO THE QUALITIES WE FEEL ARE IMPORTANT IN A GUIDE: PRESENCE, SELF-AWARENESS, AWARENESS OF SOCIAL AND CULTURAL SYSTEMS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO POWER, COMPASSION FOR SELF AND OTHERS, HUMILITY, CAPACITY TO BE WITH COMPLEX SITUATIONS OR OTHERS PRESENTATIONS, AND A STRONG SENSE OF ETHICS AND RESPONSIBILITY. THE GUIDE APPRENTICESHIP AT GATHER WELL IS AN IMMERSIVE 18-MONTH PROGRAM DESIGNED TO PREPARE GUIDES WHO CAN HOLD SAFE, ETHICAL, AND SPIRITUALLY ATTUNED TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES. GATHER WELLS PRIMARY FOCUS IS OFFERING PROGRAMS IN ETHICAL FACILITATION IN A GROUP FORMAT THAT INTEGRATES EMERGENT BEST PRACTICE WITH AN INDIGENOUS-INFORMED APPROACH. THE APPRENTICESHIP BLENDS RIGOROUS DIDACTIC LEARNING WITH EXPERIENTIAL PRACTICE, EMPHASIZING CULTURAL AWARENESS, RELATIONAL DYNAMICS, TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE, SPIRITUAL GROWTH, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF GUIDES FROM THE INSIDE OUT, ALL WITHIN A LEGALLY COMPLIANT FRAMEWORK. APPRENTICES ENGAGE IN OVER 500 HOURS OF HYBRID TRAINING AS THEY MOVE FROM OBSERVATION TO ASSISTING TO GUIDING SESSIONS, SUPPORTED AT EVERY STAGE BY MENTORSHIP AND A STRONG ETHICAL INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS LONG-FORM PROCESS ENSURES GUIDES EMERGE GROUNDED, ACCOUNTABLE, AND EQUIPPED TO FACILITATE TRANSFORMATIVE CARE RESPONSIBLY.

  Expenses $476,226

As filed on the 2025 return.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
