About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Director to lead its mission of transforming the culture of care. The successful candidate will work closely with the founding Abbot, Vice Abbot, and Board to bring the organization's vision to life, which is deeply rooted in compassion, community, and care. This leadership role requires a blend of strategic collaboration and hands-on execution, and the ideal candidate will be a trailblazer in the contemplative approach to care and medicine, with a strong background in developing innovative education, conducting research, and providing spiritual care to those in need.
