Liberating the Deep Potential of Human Being

Over the past 18 years, through over thirty programs delivered on three continents, GTC has developed into one of the most powerful, awakening, and mature learning journeys available today. GTC graduates are extraordinary professionals of all ages, from diverse backgrounds and from many parts of the world. They share a common desire.... to transform themselves, their organizations, communities and our human consciousness, motivated by a vision of a more beautiful, equitable and sustainable future for all.

When you join one of our programs, you will meet other individuals who are awakening to new versions of self, relationship, systems, conception, innovation and the spirit of love for the whole. You will complete GTC with more awareness, aliveness, and vision for your own role in bringing about positive evolution for planetary life. And you will leave with the practical knowledge, skills and a community of support, to help make your vision a reality.

"One of the first times in my life that I have quite experienced love in that way.

I can't not know it now."

- Brenda Johnson, CEO, La Clinica Health

"Sometimes we need to retreat from the frailty of the world, to become strong,

to allow us to go back and work with our frailties."

- Rich Harmer, Consultant and Coach

This diverse set of voices from a variety of walks of life - artist, healer, educator, executive, coach, entrepreneur, parent - each took the courageous leap to let go into a deeper ground in themselves, so their gifts could flow more fully into the world. Listen with your whole self to what GTC was like for them and how it impacted them.


Program Structure

  • Community of practice: Dialog and exploration of experience between participants that deepens the understanding and application of the learning.

  • Reflection and coaching: Use of powerful questions and reflective inquiry by facilitators helps participants to examine their structure of interpretation, allowing a more consistent positive impact and improved communications and strategy.

  • Cognitive study: Gain knowledge and practice in theories and research of Wilber, Torbert, Kegan, Cook-Greuter, Senge, Scharmer, Robertson, O’Fallon and others. Learn proven leading edge approaches for powerfully intervening in complex systems

What Participants are Saying

WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING.

GTC - the program and its faculty - generates a profound transformation in and among its participants. It is a grounded transformation - one that is quietly realized after the fact. This 'change of form' happens at all levels of experience: a deep physical relaxation into presence, an emotional and interpersonal breaking open of the heart, a spiritual sea change and a behavioral transition to a new way of walking - individually and collectively - on the earth and in life. —Julia

"GTC has allowed me to hold and work within paradox. I can look at collapsing eco systems, shocking economic inequality, and calcified political systems, and not lose hope but work with renewed vigor. Where before I felt despair and frustration and soldiered on, now I can hold those feelings together with optimism and joy and work from a place of service."

—Zach

"In the context of true honesty and integrity and a deep caring for life,­ its beauty, wonder and possibility, ­ GTC is a place where I am ever more learning to become fully human. The crucible of GTC challenges me to take all that I am working with out into the world....it is about embodying presence, collectively and as individuals."

—Katie

The Lodge, part of the Vial Family Farm, is located amidst a working farm of an extended family that has become part of the fabric of the community. Once the family home, the Lodge retains the spirit of family and gathering that is palpable to all who experience it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do people get out of GTC?
GTC is a comprehensive development process designed to support your unique needs, so participants tend reap different rewards. Many report attending GTC was instrumental or life changing. Some benefits most often reported are

How much time will this demand of me between sessions?
This simple answer is that you can plan up to 4 hours per week. The inter-session period is a time to apply the learning through practice, daily inquiry, and field projects. You will have additional learning, through reading and online study, online community connections, coaching conversations, and cohort conference calls.

A critical success factor for the inter-sessions is to connect the learning to your present life and work challenges and opportunities. The more you can connect the learning to what you are doing outside the program, the easier and more supportive the program will be.


I am already in or considering a graduate program. Is this compatible?
Participants often consider GTC when they are in or considering a graduate program. We have had participants in the program while they are completing Masters or Ph.D. programs. Often the draw to GTC is a desire to complement a more academic program with something that involves more applied, embodied learning. GTC is quite compatible and complementary to graduate academic programs.


What if I don't consider myself a leader?
While we often use the word, 'Leadership' to describe the GTC program, doing so is not without its perils. Leadership is a word that means different things to different people and can touch on personal experiences that are not always positive. Needless to say, a review of the meaning of leadership exposes a rich territory that certainly includes people who make an impact who don't consider themselves to be a leader, but who in the eyes of others have exercised great leadership. We invite you to consider your own impulse to make a difference and to express yourself as an impulse towards your own personal kind of leadership and to view your feelings about the word as an opportunity for reflection.


Is this a personal or professional development program?
It is both. We believe that our personal development and professional development are inseparable. When invoking leadership, we are bringing all of who we are as people, which includes our inner capacities and character, as well as our understanding and skills we bring to our work in the world. Many participants attend GTC to further their professional work and have their employers sponsor their participation. At the same time, the program is deeply personal and participants should anticipate a greater level of intimacy and inner exploration than they find in a typical professional development program.


Where do participants come from?
Previous cohorts have included participants from: The United States, Canada, Ethiopia, Kosovo, Palestine, New Zealand, England, Mexico, Germany, Jamaica, Suriname, and South Africa.
