Job description

Emergence Magazine: Seeds of Radical Renewal Fellowship (Online, UK)

Hybrid mobility

Open for: Individuals Artists, Curators, Producers & Managers, Researchers & Critics Cross-disciplinary

The Seeds of Radical Renewal Fellowship will investigate these questions and create an incubator of emerging leadership and creativity with an approach based on integrating the ontology of spiritual ecology, the adaptive leadership framework, and the power of art and story to create alchemical spaces of regeneration and renewal.

With the guidance of guest teachers, participants will take part in six online sessions (29 April to 23 September 2026), leading up to a five-day in-person retreat at Sharpham Trust in Devon, England (16–20 June 2026).

The fellowship will focus on the following core areas:

• Cultivating a relational approach to leadership that can hold multiple perspectives and move beyond the limits of authority in addressing systemic challenges.
• Applying the values of spiritual ecology to overcome challenges and conflict in organisational and real-world settings.
• Exploring the power of art and story to create interventions and spaces of regeneration and renewal that deepen a connection with the living Earth.
• Developing an embodied practice of spiritual ecology.
• Expanding listening capacities, understanding of intelligence, and ways of being to include the voices of the more-than-human.
• Applying learnings to real-world projects, with post-fellowship mentorship offered.

In September there will be two post-retreat online sessions for small group mentorship and continued support of real-world application of fellowship learnings in their work, projects, and interventions.

This fellowship is for creatives, innovators, designers, artists, writers, media makers, scientists, ecologists, technologists, systems thinkers, educators, place-based practitioners, changemakers, and those in emerging or established spaces of leadership interested in working at the intersection of ecology, culture, and spirituality. This fellowship is primarily intended for those at early or mid stages of their careers and creative paths.

Fellows will receive a full scholarship for the programme, including tuition, single-room accommodation, meals, and travel to the in-person retreat at the Sharpham Trust in the United Kingdom. (Please note: visa costs are not included.)
