ReFUEL Residency

If you’re someone who loves engaging in stories, is craving deeper meaning in your work and life, believes that wisdom can come from anywhere (yes, even your 7 year old cousin), and wants to create positive change in the world, this is for you.

If you're curious, open-minded, growth seeker and excited to collaborate with a bunch of like-hearted dreamers—then woohoo- it’s a match!

Let's find out...

• Age Requirement: Must be 18 years and above [with a child-like heart]

• In-Person Shenanigans: Available to join us in Dehradun for some real-life, face-to-face fun & learning during the Fellowship dates.

• Pay it forward: Desire to pass on their learnings and lead community initiatives, using the FUEL Methodology.

Yes? Then you are eligible!

We work at the exciting intersection of practical and participatory learning through play!

We believe that wisdom isn't reserved just for the privileged few—our award-winning method makes it more accessible as you learn and engage with the lived experiences of everyday people.

The Fellowship leaves you with a new way of life, not just a new way to make a better living.

Expect hands-on learning, creative collaboration, plenty of "aha!" moments and some bed-time stories!

Do not expect it to be retreat with sound-healing sessions or a professional development program with cookie-cutter solutions, one-sided lectures, and skills that ChatGPT has already aced.

Our Fellows come from all walks of life! Past Fellows, have included artists, marketing professionals, content creators, educators, corporate leaders, entrepreneurs and even people on their well-deserved sabbaticals.

The age range is just as diverse, from 20-somethings to 50-year-olds. No matter their background or age, they all share one thing in common: a deep desire for learning, connection, and making a difference!

Everywhere! At work, in your community, with your family—even when choosing what ice cream flavor to try next!

Educator? Take it back to your classroom to cultivate a sense of awe & wonder in your students.
In the corporate world? Bring in play with purpose by championing meaningful change in your organization.
On a sabbatical or feeling stuck? Re-design your life with purpose and meaning.

The learnings will help you as much as you participate with life!

The primary language of facilitation is English, but we are known for throwing in some anecdotes and stories in Hindi into the mix!

We believe language should never be a barrier to expression, so whether you're sharing thoughts or asking questions, we create a safe space for all voices to be heard.

Ah, the million-dollar question!

While we call it a Fellowship, which often implies a focus on community and learning, we also want to ensure there is no compromise on the quality. The cost reflects a highly curated experience, expert design team and facilitators, a luxury stay and wholesome meals.

85% of the fee goes towards your stay, food, and enriching experiences. The remaining 15% supports Project FUEL in curating an amazing cohort, as well as developing the program.

Think of it as an investment in yourself! Plus, we're working towards a future where more people can access this transformative experience, aiming to make it fully funded down the line.

1. Your journey to the Fellowship venue is on you, so plan accordingly!
2. Any personal shopping or souvenirs you want to bring back will need a little extra cash.
3. While we’ve got you covered for meals included in the program, if you want to indulge in extra treats or snacks, budget for that too!
4. We hope it doesn’t come to this, but if any accidental damage occurs, you will need to cover the costs.

Absolutely! We can discuss a few options that may help make the payment process easier. Write to us on aakansha@projectfuel.in

Of course! You can chat with one of our amazing lifelong Fellows—they’ve got the inside scoop (and some fun stories).

Write to us on aakansha@projectfuel.in and we shall put you in touch.

If they’re as cool and curious as you, tell them to apply soon!

We’re a quirky, passionate team of cultural investigators, learning architects, and wisdom historians. We’ve painted village walls, documented African folktales, taught in MIT classrooms and built wisdom corridors across continents.

In short, we’re a bunch of creative thinkers dedicated to transforming the way people learn and grow through the power of wisdom and play!

As a lifelong FUEL Fellow you join the inspiring community of dreamers and doers.

Whether you need feedback on a new idea, support through a rough patch, or someone to celebrate your wins, this community has your back. Picture deep conversations over chai or coffee with people who truly get it, sharing the same transformative experiences that brought you together.

You’ll also gain access to FUEL’s global database, connecting you to incredible opportunities through our projects and events. It’s a lifetime of love, support, and inspiration, no matter where life takes you!

Ask away! We’re always here to chat, whether you prefer email, phone, or handwritten letters (we are a sucker for those!)
