CBK Board of Directors
Dr. Curt Thompson
Founder/Board Member
The Center for Being Known exists to reflect what becomes when the mind - our minds - move toward greater integration: or, as Jesus would say in Matthew's Gospel, that we are becoming more perfect, more whole, even as our Father in heaven is also perfectly whole. Who we are best able to be “emerges” as we encounter Jesus and others in community.
Neal Smith
Board Chair
Since Curt starting talking about this interpersonal biology stuff 15 years ago, I have been drawn not only to the power of the ideas but to the fact that it is clearly his vocation. As his friend and someone who loves a big idea, I want to do all I can to activate this movement of people to fulfilling lives.
Derek McNeil
Board Member
For Jesus, self-actualization was never the goal of the quest; the true end of Jesus’ wilderness transformation was only realized in the new life he brought to others, the life he continues to spark in us.
Janey Nodeen
Board Member
I was struck immediately by the power of what Curt teaches and how it is relevant in all aspects of life. I invited him to come run a class for my company. That was many years ago now, but my employees still apply what they learned and refer to it as a positive growth experience.
Dan Rogers
Board Member
I am a member of CBK’s board to be a part of a community that lives life abundantly and that repairs, restores, and transforms to create opportunities for others to do the same.
Doug Wilson
Board Member
I have had the joy and privilege to invite Curt to share in multiple communities of people. I’ve experienced the resonance and impact of his work in my own life, the lives of others, most particularly, in groups of people who have a shared aspiration to deep and true community. Being part of a team committed to extending these concepts and practices to more people is deeply satisfying and energizing.
Jill Phillips Gillmore
Board Member
I first met Curt at a retreat at Laity Lodge and my husband and I have been blessed by his friendship and teaching ever since. I am passionate about the work of the Center for Being Known where everyone is invited to a deeper connection with God, self, and others. In this era of increasing isolation, CBK helps facilitate a way to grow into deeper maturity in the context of community.
