Guilds & Schedule
Learning together, sharing space!
Over the years, we have played with and explored the structure of how we gather and share. By continuously reflecting on our individual and collective needs each year, we adapt and evolve, reassessing how we practice the art of gathering. This year, we are excited to strengthen our Guild areas at Fulcrum.
Inspired by the geometry of Metatron’s cube, as an interconnected foundation for our gathering organization and structure we have created intentional spaces that can bring us together around our shared crafts, skills, and processes. The 6 Guilds model encourages collaboration, mentorship, and knowledge exchange where we can foster deeper connections and further our culture of leaning into co-creation, innovation, and mutual support through:
Featured Workshops
Onsite Offerings
Community Projects
Demos/Interactive Activities
It’s all one big expereiment!
