The Fellowship

The Fellowship is more than just a learning programme. It is a global community and supportive structure meant to inspire you and from which you can experiment and develop your work.

Over 8 months, Fellows are supported in their personal development and in exploring real-world challenges or inquiries. The core programme offers models, tools, stories, connection, access to an array of global contributors, and various levels of support.

And the journey doesn’t end there. After the 8 month programme, Fellows are invited to continue their learning via active engagement with the wider community, continuing to weave learnings into your life and work.

How we’ll work together

Breakthrough thinking

Models, tools, and case studies of regenerative approaches in practice. Core sessions, innovation labs, and opportunities for deep connection, working in support of your own inquiry or practical challenge.

Personal practice

Support with building your nature-connection practice and developing the inner capacities needed for earth-centred leadership. Deepen your practice with guided sessions, nature-connection exercises, and the option to join in-person events & retreats.

Community

Spaces to connect & innovate as a global community, supported peer to peer sessions, a Fellow buddy from a previous cohort, and additional faculty support. Integral to your journey through the Fellowship is your Home Circle, a small group of peers with whom to process the journey.

World-leading innovation practitioners

Stories, inspiration, and insights from over 25 contributors sharing their learnings of regenerative work from organisations and communities across the globe.

The Journey

The programme begins with an 8-month journey. The journey is structured around a number of key topics, including:

  • Working with Nature

  • Power & Access

  • Resilience

  • Regenerative Cultures

  • Integrity

    and more…

Each stepping stone on the journey is structured through three levels of knowledge: Thinking (new models and tools); Being (new experiences); and Connecting (new perspectives on learning and connecting like nature). The purpose of this structure is to help you move beyond the theoretical and into a physical, embodied sense of the work.

After the 8-month core programme, you are invited to continue your engagement with the Bio-Leadership community through the Mycelium Programme. This ongoing programme will support your continued personal and professional development and will keep you connected with our growing community of Fellows, contributors, and team members, all of whom are working with nature towards better forms of human progress.

Action Research: a place to practice

Each Fellow is invited to bring a practical challenge or question to their Fellowship journey to explore how their work might support a more sustainable and thriving world.

Through peer-to-peer feedback, working sessions, and opportunities to present your project or inquiry to the wider community, the Fellowship supports you to actively work on a systems challenge throughout the programme and beyond.

Peer-to-Peer Support: working in community

A core principle of the Fellowship is that we cannot do this work alone. We have designed the programme to offer you multiple levels of peer support throughout the journey.

You will join a Home Circle–a smaller group with which to connect more deeply and actively support one another to take next steps on projects–and you’ll also be invited to a wider programme of optional ‘All-Fellow Sessions’ to connect across cohorts, as well as access to 1:1 support via coaching.

This is for you if…

  • you are committed to improving life on our planet;

  • you are already working to change our systems to be life-centred, or you are holding an active inquiry about how to do so;

  • you are looking for a wider network with which to learn, grow, collaborate, and scale collective impact;

  • you believe that nature holds great knowledge to support the transition that is needed in the world;

  • you are looking to learn, embody and advocate for nature-led leadership.

Information for Organisations

Are you interested in how the Fellowship might support your organisation in its development? Or are you an individual who wants to convince your organisation to sponsor your participation in the Fellowship?

Although the Fellowship is a programme for individuals, many of our Fellows are often joining on behalf of an organisation. Curious how this might work? Check out our Information Pack for Organisations to learn how the Fellowship can support you.
