The Fellowship is an invitation to uncover/recover their relationship to animate forces, spirit, and the network of being, and to create and be of service from this ground. The program follows a curriculum guided by the principles of the shared healing arts practices that will be done together over nine-months and include place-based, ancestral, and energy medicine; group inquiry; and personal and collective dreamwork. We explore our unique roles in the network of being, and the multiplicity of ‘self’ that participates in that web. Primarily, the program serves those who consider themselves artists or healing practitioners, but is open to anyone exploring these questions and topics.

The curriculum is made up of three sections that prepare the cohort to step into the stream that flows beyond the program:

Sourcing: The cohort learns specific protocols that will be used throughout the program, providing a shared set of practices that work well with any pre-existing lineages and knowledge of each Fellow, or easily stand alone as a foundation for those who do not currently have any specific lineage or protocols.

Grounding: As the cohort re-sources in shared practice, we ground the nervous system in this information, rather than the density of our stories thatoverpower raw experience.Here we follow the descent into an ‘underworld’ to incubate relationship to creative energy and how it moves in our lives.

Activating: Having grounded in this information, we activate it — bringing forth what is ready to emerge, at this time, and spiral beyond the borders of this program. Here we collectively dream into being a ‘project’ — a meandering path — and bring awareness to our responsiveness to the unfolding mystery along it.

The program is comprised of several interwoven elements that each Fellow will participate in:

Individual Sessions: Fellows have access to one personal session per month, to engage more deeply with the practices. This element allows for the specificity of what each Fellow is undergoing, addressing each persons experiences, and providing guidance as needed.

Group gatherings: Fellows participate in two monthly gatherings from September through May. These gatherings will be time for being in practice together, group inquiry, and sharing of experience. Once per month these will be led by the core facilitator, and the second will be led by another guest facilitator in their area of expertise — ancestral and plant medicine, working with the context of ritual and ceremony today, tending to grief, and participating in collective dreamwork.

Supporting Content: Fellows will have access to an online portal of additional and supporting content, including videos, readings, and exercises.

Culminating Project & Sharing: Each Fellow will work toward a ‘project proposal’ as a culmination to the program, and going forth beyond the program borders. Fellows will share these projects with each other in their incubatory stage, as they are birthed. We aim to keep in touch with all past-Fellows who wish to remain part of the greater Fellow network, sharing progress and evolutions of these projects and contributions in the world.

Accepted Fellows should expect to participate in the dates below. As the program revolves around a small cohort, Fellows are expected to attend as many gatherings as possible to take part in what emerges through the group.

Introductory Online Gathering: Sunday August 24, 2025

2x Monthly Online Gatherings: Second & Last Sunday of each month, 10am-12pm EST, September - May

Optional In-Person Gathering @ Succurro: May 29 - 31, 2026

Individual sessions: Will be scheduled with each Fellow

The Fellowship has evolved greatly since beginning in 2016, through the practice of Owyn Ruck. While Owyn still acts at the core facilitator of the group, she has invited several past Fellows to facilitate specific aspects, based on their skills and path of interest. The 2025-26 facilitators are:

Owyn Ruck

Rebeccah Stromberg

Isabella Amstrup

Alex Goldberg

Zaida Adriana Goveo Balmaseda

The total cost of the Fellowship program is $1,250 — which can be paid in increments over the nine months, or in full.

The Fellowship includes individual attention each month, in addition to four hours of group gatherings, and additional online materials and support. There is an optional in-person gathering open to all at the culmination of the nine months.

It is expected that participants be ready to commit to the full program including payments, and to the ongoing emergence and process of the program, as part of stepping into their role in the collective. It will not always feel ‘good’ or ‘easy,’ but you will be supported (and in turn support others) in moving through your experience. There will be a maximum of 12 people in the cohort, to foster dialogue during group gatherings, and to provide the appropriate attention to each individual. 

Fellows are expected to attend as many group gatherings as possible, to participate in their monthly personal sessions, complete all assignments, and may payments on time. A certificate of completion will be given at the end of the program to all who meet these requirements.

At this time, there are not scholarships available for this program, but we are working toward that in the near future. Payment plans are available for all.

The Fellowship application is available on a rolling basis, starting June 1 until July 31, or until full. Once you have submitted, you are committing to joining the cohort, and will receive an email to set up a short call to confirm the program is the right fit at this time, followed by payment information. If you have any questions, please reach out to us by email prior or attend the info session. We are happy to connect you to past Fellows, as well, to talk about their experience in and beyond the program.

The application consists of several long-form questions, a PDF project portfolio, and one letter of reference. The application is this ‘rigorous’ as we seek to serve those who are committed to such a program at this time.

Info Session: June 28, 2025 - 10am EST - Register

Application Opens: June 1, 2025

Application Closes: July 31, 2025

The program will begin in September 2025, with an introductory call for the cohort on Sunday, August 24.

The Fellowship is a welcoming into a community of people who who continue to uncover/recover their relationship to animate forces, spirit, and the network of being, to create and be of service from this ground.

Beyond the program, there are opportunities for connection, which have taken different shapes: residency time at Succurro; support for larger projects; connections to other Fellows; and ongoing gatherings through inquiry and dreamwork.

In the near future, we intend to work toward a platform for sharing of Fellowship projects, past and present, following along with how projects and people have evolved over time, and catching up with Fellows in dialogue to see how life has emerged over time.
