What does it mean to remain human in the new age of artificial intelligence? In this immersive weekend workshop, we’ll explore this profound question together, journeying from awareness to empowerment to integration as we discover how to shape our relationship with AI while preserving what matters most.

Through hands-on AI demonstrations, creative labs, and experiential exercises, we’ll witness firsthand both the remarkable capabilities and profound implications of this technology. We’ll experiment with AI as a creative collaborator, experimenting with the technology in conscious ways. With somatic practices, guided meditation, and time in nature, we’ll envision the future we want, free from tech industry narratives about what’s “inevitable.”

Each session will blend practical exploration with deep reflection. Through live talks and demonstrations, group dialogue, and creative experimentation, we’ll explore AI’s current capabilities while staying grounded in embodied practices. Throughout the experience, we’ll integrate insights through authentic sharing and meaningful connection with one another, and with ourselves.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop your personal AI Code of Practice, create conscious engagement with technology, and forge genuine connections with fellow participants. This workshop offers resources and perspectives to support you in bringing these meaningful conversations to your own communities, helping others find empowerment rather than overwhelm in our rapidly changing world.

Stuckness often lives deeper than thought. Many of us sense we are capable of more: more freedom, impact, honest expression, more generative relationships, more alignment with the life and work calling us forward. And yet, inherited rhythms live in the body: rhythms of culture, survival, and belonging that shape what feels safe, possible, or forbidden.

Join this weekend workshop on noticing the grooves you have inherited, shifting the patterns that no longer serve, and practicing new ways of being. In music, rhythm organizes movement, feeling, and attention. In life, our rhythms shape how we relate, create, lead, heal, and become.

During our time together, we will:

• Use reflective writing and prompts to identify inherited rhythms, default responses, and outdated survival strategies.
• Practice embodied awareness, conscious breathing, and gentle movement to cultivate presence, choice, and inner spaciousness.
• Engage in storytelling, witnessing, and peer coaching circles to be seen clearly, listen deeply, and practice new ways of relating.
• Explore music, rhythm, and creative play as tools for shifting automatic responses and rehearsing new possibilities.
• Create simple integration rituals and commitments that support continued becoming in life, leadership, relationships, and healing practice.

This experience is for anyone feeling stuck, limited, under-expressed, or ready to ask what’s next with more courage and clarity. It is for those seeking to move beyond inherited grooves and practice a more embodied, communal, and choiceful life. One rooted in creative healing and collective possibility.

Revolutionary findings in neuroscience have demonstrated that we can literally re-architect the very structure of our brains. In fact, we can even rewire our neurology to be more focused, calmer, and happier.

In this workshop, Dr. Shauna Shapiro — a leading scientist studying the effects of meditation on well-being — will teach you the most powerful science-based practices for increasing the neural pathways of happiness. She’ll explain basic brain science and offer a clear roadmap for living a joyful, connected, and meaningful life. Be prepared for unexpected transformation and delight.

During this weekend workshop, we’ll learn:

• Science-based practices to increase your baseline level of happiness.
• How to cultivate greater joy, gratitude, and connection.
• To integrate these practices into our everyday lives.

Your legacy is not just something you leave behind. It is something you create through the way you live each day. This is an invitation to reflect on the deeper impact of your life, relationships, work, creativity, and leadership — and to consciously embody the legacy you are here to live.

Through guided practices, storytelling, visioning, and transformational dialogue, participants will reconnect to what truly matters and align their lives with enduring meaning, authentic contribution, and purposeful action.

Together, we will explore questions such as:

• What is the unique contribution only you can make?
• How do you want the people you love to experience you today, not just remember you tomorrow?
• What values, wisdom, and way of being are you here to embody and pass forward?
• What old identities or stories are ready to be released so your authentic legacy can emerge?
• How do you live in a way that allows your presence to become your greatest gift?

Leave with greater clarity about the life you are creating, the relationships you are cultivating, and the enduring gifts you are already living. Whether your contribution is expressed through your family, community, creativity, leadership, service, or the way you show up each day, discover practical tools, renewed inspiration, and a deeper commitment to creating your living legacy.

Most people don’t actually fear failure; they fear their own brilliance. In this weeklong journey, we’ll explore how subtle self-sabotage, shrinking, and doubt prevent us from claiming our gifts. Through coherence coaching, embodied exercises, and radical self-honesty, you’ll discover the courage to live as the powerful being you already are.

Participants will:

• Engage in guided movement and meditation to release constriction and embody expansive power.
• Use reflective journaling prompts to surface patterns of self-betrayal and write new declarations of possibility.
• Practice storytelling and peer coaching circles that mirror back wholeness, strengths, and hidden capacities.
• Enter creative play exercises to rehearse new ways of showing up boldly.
• Make commitments to sustained daily practices that anchor your dopeness as a lifestyle.

When we embrace our greatness, we move beyond fear into freedom, clarity, and contribution. You’ll receive practical tools and experience a supportive community for the embodied confidence to live your dopeness with courage and joy.

What if peace begins not with agreement, but with our capacity to remain human, alive, and connected in the presence of difference?

This five-day retreat invites you into a joyful, energizing, and deeply experiential exploration of how we move — within ourselves, toward one another, and as part of the larger human systems we share. Weaving together 5Rhythms® Movement, the Enneagram, relational practice, and human diplomacy, Dr. Deborah Egerton and Douglas Drummond will create a dynamic space to move, reflect, connect, play, and restore — building greater capacity for love, belonging, resilience, and peacemaking.

The Enneagram offers a map for recognizing the patterns through which we protect, connect, belong, and make meaning. 5Rhythms brings those patterns into the living body, where they can be felt, expressed, softened, challenged, and moved. Drawing from Dr. Egerton’s work with race, belonging, inclusion, and the dismantling of othering, and Douglas’s work in mediation, reconciliation, and restorative systems, we will explore what helps us stay connected when our identities, histories, and perspectives are not the same.

A central inquiry will be how we move from tolerance toward acceptance and belonging. Belonging asks us to see one another more fully and make room for difference without requiring sameness. Love becomes a practice of courage, truth, compassion, boundaries, and repair. Peace becomes something we cultivate through presence and relationship. And joy becomes an essential resource — a way of restoring energy, expanding possibility, and remembering the aliveness that makes connection worth fighting for.

Through a trauma-informed approach grounded in choice, consent, pacing, agency, and relational safety, participants will:

• Explore Enneagram patterns of personality, protection, identity, and belonging.
• Move through 5Rhythms practices supported by music, rhythm, and embodied inquiry.
• Practice human diplomacy through dialogue, witnessing, and relational exercises across difference.
• Explore love as a courageous relational practice that can hold truth, compassion, accountability, and repair.
• Actively cultivate joy, play, creativity, and collective energy as resources for resilience, connection, and renewal.

Expect movement, music, insight, honest conversation, laughter, depth, and moments of surprise. This is not only a space to understand ourselves more clearly, but to feel more resourced, more connected, and more alive.

Together, we will explore what becomes possible when we remain fully ourselves while learning to move with one another — with greater courage, curiosity, joy, belonging, and love.

The most practical thing you can do for yourself is remember how to feel again, and be able to express it. Many men are running on empty, tense in the body, stuck in their heads. This weekend utilizes movement, breath, rhythm and voice to bring you back into your body and into real community with other men.

The what, why, and how of our time together:

• Chronic tension blocks presence. Rasa Yoga and Foundation Training rebuild a strong, resilient back through functional movement, so grounded strength follows you home.
• Stress keeps you stuck in your head. Breathwork, meditation, live drumming, free movement, vocalizing, song, and mantra shift your energy and open your senses.
• Old reactions keep repeating when nobody names them. In paired dyads and sentence stems, you’ll practice shadow tracking: listening to understand first, then responding with appreciation and gratitude.
• Rigid roles box us in. Embodying the Warrior, Lover, Magician, Sovereign, and Alchemist through movement and reflection widens who you can be.
• Isolation grows when there’s nowhere honest to connect. Men’s council, conscious conversation and shared rhythm rebuild real camaraderie.

Discover practices you can use, plus more presence, connection and ease.

This workshop is specifically designed to create a space for sacred brotherhood for participants who identify as male.
