Community
A diverse and powerful mycelium of people answering the call for a new kind of leadership.
More than a programme, the Fellowship is a community of continuous learning, support and collaboration.
The community is a space for peer-to-peer guidance and long-term support.
More than a ‘network,’ it’s a deeply-rooted mycelium of people and projects working towards better forms of human progress with love and care.
Our Fellows stay connected well beyond the 8 months of the core programme. We continue to support them through an ongoing Mycelium Programme, learning opportunities, collaborative events, and in-person gatherings.
These are some of the people that make up our amazing community of Fellows.
