The Leading Edge
As a Founding Teacher, you’re also part of The Leading Edge, a mentorship arc for this founding year, built around one question:
There’s nothing else you need to do.
Your Founding Teacher’s Circle membership is confirmed. We’ll be in touch by email as we get closer to opening the doors, with everything you need to find your way in.
You’ll have full access starting this November, when our prelaunch begins, and the Opening Circle will follow soon after. Until then, consider this your invitation to get curious.
Need anything, or have a question before then? Email us any time at connect@therefuge.community.

We’ve been dreaming about this community for years.
We’re so glad you’ll help us build its beginning.
