About this Event
We are excited to launch The Hive Fellowship: A Formative Leadership Journey for a Liberated and Loving World this coming April! This is a two-year formation program in which fellows will journey through our curriculum of skills and practices for inner and outer change.
We’re integrating nearly a decade of experience in contemplative formation and culture-building to create this program, and it’s led by none other than our Core Faculty.
Think this could be for you? We hope so! Join us at our building in Northside for a presentation and Q&A session about The Hive Fellowship with our Executive Director and members of our community. Coffee and snacks will be provided.
More on the The Hive Fellowship below:
The Vision
The Hive is a container—a living room, if you will—where people gather together to slow down, grapple with the uncertainties of our time, and master contemplative, creative, and activist skills and practices that prepare them to pollinate a more liberated and loving world.
We believe that groups create culture, and culture creates change. In a deeply polarized era, we hold space for interdependence, reimagining a life lived intentionally with others that brings good to each member of the community and to the world itself.
With the dream of building a better future together, The Hive invites you to embark on a foundational two-year journey of inner and outer work—a transformative Fellowship that allows fellows to build their own set of skills and practices in community and equips fellows to become creative, compassionate, and socially engaged leaders who foster the change they want to see in the world through connection, innovation, and a collective commitment to love and truth; this is the beloved community that Dr. King and other moral leaders envisioned.
Details of Participation
Fellows will journey together through our 2 year curriculum, attending quarterly one-day retreats that introduce new contemplative-based skills and practices through engaging group-faciliation by our Core Faculty.
Each quarter of the two-year journey will introduce a new theme, with the first year focused on inner work, including embodiment and healing, and the second year focused on outer work, including systemic change and group action.
Between quarterly retreats, Fellows will gather monthly with their Cohort for deepening relationships and peer-to-peer support; each cohort will also benefit from the guidance and participation of a particular Core Faculty member.
Fellows will have access to all of The Hive’s facilitated multi-week classes and workshops to choose from, and will be encouraged to participate in classes and workshops together, with the friends they make along the way.
At the end of the two years, Fellows will be invited to co-create an ongoing Alumni network to continue deepening social capital in the form of supportive friendships, a community of practice, and emergent avenues for shared service and impact.
By the end of the two years, Fellows will confidently integrate the practices and skills they have learned, becoming architects and catalysts of loving change in the world.
Welcome to The Hive Fellowship.

Intention of the Hive
When you join a Hive experience, you're invited into our intention to create a group experience that's inclusive, rooted in mindfulness, and dynamically relational. We aspire for each Hive experience to model these intentions, and even to refine them as we continue to learn how to gather in a way that's transformative! The embodiment of these intentions by Hive facilitators, Members, and class participants is what makes the Hive the unique and healing social container that many experience it to be.
