What Fellowship Alumni Are Saying
I've gleaned many positive outcomes from this program but the most important is brining the other organizations that I work for into the mindset of Regenerative Design.
An AHA moment was realizing the community of change makers that I am a part of. Listening, engaging and growing with our Fellowship members has given a strong sense of community in our individual and collective goals.
The nRhythm Fellowship has given me new tools to understand and pursue my life's true purpose - to collect, connect, and articulate meaningful ways of thinking, working, and being in the world that inspire others to heal our relationship with ourselves and with our planet, and to regenerate our beautiful, living world.
I love this community as it constantly reminds me that healthy leadership is a state of mind - a learning attitude rather than a fixed agenda or a specific outcome in working with reciprocal, trusting, relationship-focused partnerships.
I made new connections with other members of the nRhythm family with whom I've enjoyed what is hopefully mutually beneficial ongoing communication. My colleagues within our firm were also highly receptive to a redefinition of our core values, mission and purpose that is clearly aligned with regenerative design principles. I also see broad application of these principles to society at large as certain forces feed the dishonest assessments of division. Regenerative design can help restore civil deliberation and provide constant reminders of our inherent interconnectedness.
As a result of re-thinking business through this regenerative framework and being a contributing fellow, I have not only been able to feel hopeful and establish great connections for myself, but have also felt completely inspired by what I’m witnessing in others. It has been exciting to see so many different entities embracing and evolving their businesses to serve the greater whole.

Meet the Fellowship Facilitators
We are a diverse team of entrepreneurs, lawyers, activists, artists, farmers, coaches, writers, and designers combining our collective talents, experience, and lived experience to address the world's most pressing social and environmental issues. We came together through the recognition of the crippling impediments we observed consistently in organizations, governments, and communities around the world.
We design, operate and resource organizations, networks, and communities using the nRhythm Regenerative Framework, which takes a holistic, living systems-based approach to improving organizational outcomes while increasing the efficiency, effectiveness, and well-being of employees.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is my application reviewed?
We are seeking to curate a diversity of voices and perspectives in this cohort. The application review process takes into account a range of criteria to ensure we achieve diversity in this cohort’s composition as well as our broader Fellowship community. This criteria includes but is not limited to, age, gender, race, industry of application, and location.
What is the application deadline?
November 16th, 2022 at 11:59pm EST. If you need an extension to this deadline, please contact us at team@nRhythm.co.
Can my team join me in nRhythm's programs?
Yes! We highly encourage this as it is a deep intention for us to create a community of advocates for the regenerative movement, but we do have costs to maintain these programs. If you would like to weave your team members into your yearlong journey as an nRhythm Fellow, you can invite team members to join a specific Regenerative Leadership Program or Regenerative Design Lab that you are participating in throughout 2023. As a Fellow, you have the opportunity to provide your team members a 25% off discount on these programs.
What is the time commitment?
The time commitment varies per Fellow. We require that all Fellows make a commitment to each other to join all monthly 60-90 minute Fellowship meetings. Additionally, inside your own Fellowship journey, if you are in a Leadership Program or Design Lab session, there would be a time commitment of 2-2.5 hour meetings twice a week for 1-3 months at a time. Outside of meetings, you have the opportunity to invest as much or as little time into this as you want. You customize your fellowship journey.
Upon acceptance, what date do I need to enroll by?
You will be notified by December 5th, 2022 if you have been accepted to the 2023 Fellowship program. Upon acceptance, we are asking that all fellows enroll on or before December 20th, 2022 so that we have time to offer your seat to another candidate if you chose not to commit to the program.
Can I sponsor a fellow individually or through my organization?
We highly encourage organizational, family and individual sponsorship of an nRhythm Fellow. If you or your company is intending to sponsor a Fellow, please coordinate that payment plan with them when they enroll. If you are applying for the Fellowship and seeking financial support but have yet to secure funding from your sponsor, you are also welcome to apply for a scholarship.
Are there scholarships?
We are offering 5 scholarships for the 2023 Fellowship. If you are in need of a scholarship, nRhythm can sponsor you as a Fellow or alternatively, if it is an option, we encourage you to ask your company/organization to sponsor your Fellowship. Fellows paying full tuition price support nRhythm to offer scholarships. To apply for a scholarship, please make note of your request for a scholarship in your application.
Typically in fellowship programs, fellows are paid, or volunteers, why is there a cost to this fellowship program?
This program is our intention to make all of nRhythm's support and services available to change-makers at a very low cost. This rate allows us to continue our work and also provide scholarships for those in need. Free or stipend-based fellowships are supported by large grant funding, large endowments, and philanthropy. We are not a non-profit so this cost structure is our way of creating mutually beneficial generosity.
