DEEPENING

Thursday, October 8, 2026

Deepen Yourself. Deepen Your Company.

OFF-GRID / ON-PURPOSE

Friday, October 9, 2026

Create space. Create what's next.

What you’ll experience

Not a conference. A deepening.

We won’t fill your notebook.

We’ll fill the person holding the notebook.

Your next stage of growth may not be about strategy. It may be about perspective, awareness, and relationships.

Opening speaker, October 8th.

Mindfulness guide, October 9th.

Exceptional Founders

Who You'll Meet

Investor-backed growth companies.
EO, YPO, and Vistage members.
Techstars and YCombinator portfolio founders.

They share something deeper than a sector.

Growing and deepening their company coincides with growing and deepening themselves.

They’ve built something real — and invite the next level of growth.

Why They Keep Coming Back

"As a founder, I spend so much time and energy operating my company. This is a gathering that allows me to focus on operating ME."

“A fantastic experience. Deep personal work alongside 100+ other founders on mindset, empathy, and heart-centered leadership. Energized with renewed purpose.”

“Step out of the day to day and refocus on what really matters.”

“I found acceptance and community with authentic, compassionate, intelligent people. I am filled with overwhelming gratitude and have immense hope for the future.”
