Are you a creative looking to make a meaningful impact at the intersection of nature and culture? Do you want to be part of a global movement that’s redefining the relationship between humans and the natural world? If yes, the Nature Cultural Fellowship Program might be for you.
The fellowship is a unique opportunity for artists, writers, and thinkers to explore the intricate relationships between humans and the environment.
It is a three-month immersive learning journey (May–July 2025) with 55 other participants from 30+ countries around the world. Participants will be engaged in storytelling, embodiment practices, values-based reflection, and dialogue around the cultural and systemic drivers of today’s ecological crises — with a strong emphasis on healing our separation from nature, spirit, and community.
From August to November 2025, an inspiring group of 40 selected Fellows will be supported financially to activate locally rooted, culturally resonant projects in their communities — weaving together art, ancestral knowledge, intergenerational exchange, and bold imagination.
Benefits
– A platform to express yourself and share your unique perspective on nature and culture
– Support and resources to develop innovative solutions to pressing environmental challenges
– Opportunity to collaborate with other creatives and experts in the field
– A chance to be part of a global movement that’s shaping a more sustainable future
– Those selected for the full fellowship will also receive financial support to implement a community-rooted project that weaves together storytelling, art, ancestral knowledge, and intergenerational exchange.
– Beyond funding, fellows become part of a diverse, international network of changemakers committed to cultural transformation and ecological healing.
Who should Apply
This fellowship welcomes individuals who are deeply connected to their communities and ready to step into creative leadership rooted in humility, reciprocity, and cultural transformation.
Those who join should be willing to examine dominant systems, explore unlearning, and hold space for uncertainty as a source of growth. It’s a journey for people who see cultural narratives not as background noise but as tools for real, systemic change.
