SoulCeum Fellowship Series
Where Soul Meets Strategy.
A sacred civic journey toward healing, imagination, and public purpose.
What is SoulCeum?
SoulCeum is more than a fellowship series. It is a rebirth space. Rooted in the words "soul" and "lyceum" (a place of learning), SoulCeum is our flagship formation series for those called to lead with civic imagination, grounded identity, and fierce love. Each fellowship invites participants into deep inquiry, soulful reflection, and courageous civic action.
Offered exclusively through partnerships with schools, community-based organizations, or faith institutions, SoulCeum fellowships are not open for individual application. They are hosted within communities ready to engage in collective transformation.
Structure & Format
Duration: 10-12 weeks (customizable with partners)
Format: In-person preferred; hybrid or virtual available only as needed
Cohort Size: 12–25 participants
Facilitation: Led by trained SoulCeum facilitators in partnership with local co-leads
Capstone Showcase: A culminating creative civic offering to be shared publicly
Each immersive session includes:
A "soul opening" — poetic, reflective, or ritual-based
An anchored concept and civic dilemma
Dialogue, discernment, and design
Time for capstone visioning or prototyping
Who It’s For?
-Schools & educators seeking transformational learning for students or faculty
-Faith-based communities ready to explore civic identity through a spiritual lens
-Community-based organizations cultivating grounded leadership
SoulCeum fellowships are intentionally not for mass enrollment. They are intimate, place-based, and relationship-driven. We partner only where readiness meets resonance.
Fellowship Tracks
Each SoulCeum fellowship is grounded in our signature framework of soul, story, and strategy, drawing from a rich ecosystem of texts, teachings, and traditions that explore how pain, paradox, and purpose shape who we are and how we lead. Our curriculum integrates multiple frameworks and voices to guide participants into deeper healing, reflection, and civic transformation.
