Fellowships are CrossSwords group-class sessions. All Fellowships are invitation-only classes taking place as special seminar style sessions over the Summer months in lieu of regular Discipleship training. Incoming students begin their training in Discipleship sessions (one-on-one private instruction), and then graduate into Fellowship training when ready for the new challenges of competition and application of their techniques!


Types of Fellowship Classes:

Initiate Fellowship (1st and 2nd Degrees): basic studies of the self, the soul, and nobility. Students may be invited to an initiate class at any time in their training journey after reaching the 1st Degree rank (of Novice), and continue training here as their primary class after reaching the 2nd Degree ranks (of Paige & Apprentice).

Senior Fellowship (3rd – 4th Degrees): advanced studies, focused on more demanding philosophy, application of the spiritual disciplines, and their connection to the world. Students are only invited to this class sometime after attaining a 3° rank (of Squire & Herald) and continue training here as a 4° (Warden & Vanguard). 5° ranks (Knight & Master) may also attend these Fellowships.

Note: As students continue to advance, they are encouraged and able to attend all classes available to them to refresh their skills. Our seniors often train at all classes available to them each week, in addition to their Discipleship lessons.
