Discovering fire for the second time.
A curated community of leaders who gather each month to practice the inner and relational capacities that make true collaboration possible. Because collaboration, done for real, may be the most powerful resource we have, and the least tapped.
The invitation
“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire.”
We are in a time between worlds. The greatest resource is a community of people dedicated to their growth in service of harnessing the energies of love, which I believe is deeply entwined with our ability to collaborate across differences. This community is meant to be a haven for your training, so that you may be a haven for others in the world.
What we do
We meet once a month. Each gathering opens with a short teaching, a single idea or practice, and then we spend the rest of our time doing the actual work: practicing the skill together, in real time. This is not a place to consume more content. It is a place to practice.
We do inner work in the company of others rather than alone. Live coaching is offered and observed, so we learn from real moments as they unfold. And the space models what it teaches. People show up as they are, undefended, and discover what that honesty makes possible.
Who it’s for
This circle is for people I have worked with. Membership is open to current and former clients, whether we came together one to one, with your team, or on retreat, and everyone still applies. It is for leaders who are excellent at what they do and still hungry to grow, who understand that their own development is among the greatest gifts they bring to the work they serve. Many are drawn to a contemplative or spiritual dimension of life, including Zen, and all are willing to do inner work in the presence of others.
Reflections
Reflections from leaders who have been through the intensive work this community grows out of.
“This was one of the most powerful experiences of working across our differences I have ever had. Gabe holds and cultivates an unpredictable space and creates the conditions for a truly remarkable outcome. It deeply touched my heart and expanded my perspectives. I highly recommend it for anyone who authentically cares about connection and wants to dive deep into the conversations that matter most.”
Join
Membership is $1,000 for the year. It includes a monthly 90-minute practice call and two 45-minute private coaching sessions with me, to be used within your 12-month membership.
The community runs in annual cycles. The current cohort begins in January and is completed within 2027, and a new cycle begins each year. Membership is open to current and former clients, by application.
