The Scientist
Grounds the circle in evidence, science, data and what is known.
Together we explore meaning, purpose and what's next.
Life is a journey. How far will you travel?

Eight archetypes · One circle
Depth through diversity.
Each seat is a distinct vantage point — a different way of seeing, building and being in the world. Together, the Circle becomes more than the sum of its parts as we explore the inflection points that brought us together and our aspirations for where it goes from here. The Circle is about self-discovery that accelerates our sense of purpose and our becoming of what's next.
The Explorer
Pushes the group to think beyond what is known.
The Entrepreneur
Sees the world through the lens of opportunity.
The Artist
Brings pattern and beauty through design, intuition and feeling.
The Philosopher
Widens the lens on meaning, asking the questions beneath the questions and challenging easy assumptions.
The Spiritual Leader
Holds space for faith, inner work and meaning with a higher purpose.
The Investor-Builder
Allocates capital and energy into what could be, not just what is.
The Healer
Brings focus to the well being of our minds and bodies.
The Setting
El Durancho, Costa Rica.
Place shapes conversation. For the 2026 Circle of Eight, we gather at El Durancho — a private working cattle ranch in Costa Rica surrounded by nature, animals and quiet space to think.
It’s designed to feel intimate rather than impressive: shared meals, unhurried conversation, and a setting that makes it easy to step out of default life and into deeper reflection.
Explore the environment
See more about the property, the flow of the space, and how the physical environment supports the work we’ll do together.
The Agenda
Exploring the essential questions.
We open the circle as the sun goes down and move through a sequence of questions: Who are you beneath the résumé? What inflection points shaped you? What have you built and what has it cost?
On the final day, the questions shift: What version of you is trying to emerge? What contribution are you uniquely positioned to make from here? A professional guide holds the arc of the 2.5 days so that the group can relax into the work itself.
