Fetzer Institute Director of Facilities, Grounds & Sacred Hospitality
Position: Director of Facilities, Grounds & Sacred Hospitality Organization: Fetzer Institute Location: Kalamazoo, MI Reporting Relationship: Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer Website: www.fetzer.org
Helping build the spiritual foundation for a loving world.
About Fetzer Institute The Fetzer Institute (the “Institute”) is a private foundation based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with a mission to help build the spiritual foundation for a loving world. The Institute was founded by John E. Fetzer (1901-1991), an American broadcast pioneer and owner of the Detroit Tigers major league baseball team. He established the Institute as a five-hundred-year organization on the belief that efforts to address humanity's greatest challenges must go beyond examining social, political, and economic causes to address their psychological and spiritual roots.
Throughout its history, a hallmark of the Institute is the work it convenes at Seasons, its on-campus retreat center. With its pristine beauty, Seasons offers opportunities for inward reflection and outward engagement, allowing participants to find the shared meaning critical to the Institute’s community and work. Seasons has hosted Nobel Laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, Supreme Court nominees, as well as thousands of accomplished teachers, healers, scientists, scholars, agents of cultural change, and leaders of public life from government, business, non-profit, and philanthropic sectors.
Supporting the Institute’s vision is a spiritually grounded community comprised of trustees and staff from different backgrounds and beliefs. Its culture comes alive as a “Community of Freedom,” a term that John Fetzer used to mean that the Institute had to be a cohesive community that was bound together by a larger purpose for it to be successful, rather than a mere collection of individuals. For three hours each week, the entire staff turns its focus—either as a whole or individually—on cultivating their spiritual path, however they define it. Staff explore personal spiritual interests and practices, hear from partners in the field, and learn about topics from spiritual ecology to comparative religion and spiritual parenting. This weekly practice seeks to foster a culture of love and authenticity internally as a model for the work the Institute aspires to do in the world.
Position Overview The Institute is at an exciting time in its history, having recently adopted its current mission statement, a bold theory of change, and a long-term goal: to help catalyze and support a broad-scale, spiritually grounded transformation from an ego-centered way of being grounded in separation and fear to an all-centered way of being grounded in wholeness and love. With investments in areas such as democracy, faith and spirituality, education, and media, the Institute supports work that will enable a critical mass of persons around the world to embrace love as the guiding principle and animating force for living in sacred relationship with Spirit, self, others, and the natural world. It has invested significantly in facility renovations over the last 18 months during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide its staff and visitors with a best-in-class experience.
The Director of Facilities, Grounds and Sacred Hospitality will serve as a member of the leadership team, providing executive leadership in stewarding the land, facilities, and culture of sacred hospitality of the Institute to further John Fetzer’s 500-year mission for the organization.
