“Between your present self and emerging self, there is a gap – a sacred space of uncertainty. Do not rush to fill it. Pause, listen, and let it inform you. And it will  …”   (Anonymous)                

Are you ready for “something more” in your professional life, however you might define “more”? Perhaps being able to show up differently, as a better version of yourself, living a life you look forward to waking up to every day? Then imagine for a moment gathering with a small group of kindred spirits in a setting that is totally conducive to your ongoing personal and professional evolution, immersed in a process that will both equip you and allow you the time, space, support, and encouragement to “go deeper” and discover what that “something more” might be for you.

The ascent is steep but rewarding, leading to panoramic views that make the effort well worth it.
