To Join All Around

You can participate in our program without becoming a member of All Around. We call anyone who goes through the Life Pact Process a participant. We define "member" as anyone who pays annual dues.

What Participation Involves

The following decisions and actions create quality participation. You are welcome to make any intelligent adjustment in these standards to both fulfill the spirit of the program and be true to yourself. We encourage you to do your level best, but that's something that only you can define.

You are actively interested in bettering yourself and the world.
You are willing to take the attitude of a good surgeon. This means that you aren't satisfied with any good deed, but instead strive to learn and perform the best, most loving actions. It also means that you are willing to learn to do more good.
You are willing to create a "Life Pact." This is a set of goals and plans for a period of about one to four months. (See the "Starting Our Program" section on the Resources page.)
You are willing to commit 3-5 hours a week for the duration of the Life Pact.
You are willing to establish some form of ongoing personal support for the length of your Life Pact.
You are willing to review your Life Pact at the end to celebrate your successes and learn from your failures.
If you can afford it, you become a member by paying a membership.
