Evolving Ground Apprentice Application

Before filling out this form, read:
1. "Evolving Ground apprenticeship" at www.evolvingground.org/apprenticeship
2. "Contribution" at www.evolvingground.org/contribution

Apprentices join a small group of peer practitioners. We'll do our best to offer you a place in a group that we think will be a good fit. The more we understand about your interests and background the better we can do that. Please don't hold back in responding to the questions: it's important to us that we meet your individual needs. We can do that better if you openly share with us where you are at.

If you're not sure whether to apply to become a pupil or apprentice, DM (or email: contact@evolvingground.org) Charlie and Jared to chat about which might work best.

There are no right, wrong, or preferable answers. The application is not a test of your prior knowledge, practice experience, or worth.

The purpose of the form is:

a) to give us a good idea of where you're at, where you're coming from, and how being an apprentice fits well for you at this point in your practice

b) to help us match you with a compatible, complementary group
