Yes, and we understand life happens. The series of workshops build on each other and are created based on everyones attendance, so you should plan to participate in every session. However, recordings and related materials will be available after each workshop and we’ll recap along the way to help keep everyone up to speed.

This transformative journey consists of both live sessions and self-directed learning modules.

The live sessions will take place on Tuesdays either online for 90-minutes or at the Quaker Meeting House from 10am-5pm.

In addition to these sessions, you should plan to spend 1-2 hours each month on the online curriculum and your peer mentoring.

There will be a maximum of 20 participants. This small size will support conversation and connection.

Yes, it totally makes sense for you to join even though you don't live in the Berkshires.  The purpose is to cross-pollinate and build a mycelial network throughout the berkshires and surrounding bioregions.  Our long-term vision is to establish cohorts throughout the Northeast.  We had a few folks in the 2024 cohort from upstate NY and CT, so if you are up for commuting to Great Barrington for the five in-person retreat days, than we would be grateful to have you!

First things first - if you really want to join this program, we will make a way for you to join. If you feel a YES! to joining the cohort journey, we will find a way to make it work!

And, while we do have partial funding to support this effort, we are requesting a financial contribution from participants to make this program financially viable and ensure it can grow into the future! 

And, we want the  "money part" of this cohort journey to feel really good for you - to share in the reciprocity of making it all happen!
