The time commitment for this Fellowship can be described as a 9-month commitment starting in September 2025. The program involves three in-person retreats in various locations across the state (September 5-7, 2025 in Denver; January 30 - February 1, 2026 location TBD; and May 1-3, 2026 location TBD). Separately, the Fellowship will involve six 90-minute virtual sessions, usually held on a weekday. The cohort will decide on the virtual dates and times together. Fellows also receive 1.5 hours a month of individual coaching, the timing of which is determined between the Fellow and their coach, but will start halfway through the Fellowship. There is no cost to participate in the Fellowship and travel costs will be reimbursed. Would you be able to reasonably meet these time requirements?
