Fellowship is a tactical, practical and spiritual tool.

I believe strongly in the power of fellowship. Why isn’t fellowship taught in universities, like collaboration or communication? Fellowship is vital for a sense of belonging and well-being, in order to help artists and innovators thrive and move towards greater sustainability and resilience in their work and lives.
