ODYSSEY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
Are you feeling disconnected from your spirit, from the spirit of community, and from the spirit of Earth?
Do you find yourself dreaming of the possibilities of a new world?
Are you ready to step into your fullest expression and play your role in the co-creation of that world?
The Odyssey Fellowship Program is a ten week residential immersion for people in their Odyssey Years of life, or the wandering time between adolescence and adulthood, that offers foundational permaculture understandings, skills, and inner development- cultivating one’s unique gifts and passions to be offered towards the healing of our world.
The goal of this program is to cultivate an authentic, dedicated, growing community of young adult leaders who hold a vision of a future that is ecologically resilient, socially just, and spiritually fulfilling for all beings.
