  • We understand that there may be rare, extenuating circumstances that prevent someone from attending the retreat in person. In those cases, we’re now able to offer live-streamed access to the retreat sessions. That said, in-person attendance is a core part of the Fellowship experience and is expected of all Fellows unless truly unavoidable. Because the retreat is fully funded through PAX funding, tuition remains the same even if you are only able to join virtually.
