OCTOBER 8–9, 2026

Autumn Events | 2026

Two distinct experiences. One shared intention.

To grow your company. 
 

Practice greater awareness, build authentic relationships, and leave with practical tools for leading what’s next.

DEEPENING

Thursday, October 8, 2026
Deepen
your relationships
your leadership
your purpose.

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.
