What is the structure of the program?

The program is built around three live, 5-day program intensives which take place at the beginning, middle, and end of the curriculum. In between live program intensives, participants are actively engaged in applied learning, practice and reflection in the style of distance learning. This includes: regular participation in online discussions, weekly small group project meetings, bi-weekly coaching calls, and approximately monthly cohort community calls.
