This is the time to activate our community as the world in the midst of profound change. What has been in the shadows is coming to light to be transformed, giving us an opportunity to deeply meet this moment with all we are, to support the emergence of a more humane world. Please come together with us as a community to awaken, commune, activate and engage your energy in your life and together in our world.
The 2020 GTC Gathering is on! We are hosting a unique global, hybrid-online format, with opportunities to connect online individually or in local gatherings. In the Pacific time zone, the reunion will start in the evening of Thursday August 27th and end on Sunday the 30th. This will be a powerful opportunity for retreat and activation with a mixture of receptive and active, individual and collective activities. Commune with others, be opened in body, mind and spirit, take time for yourself, presence what is next for you and for our community and work together.
“Feeling my heart open in a way it hasn’t since experiencing my cohort.”
Format
Start date: Thursday, Aug 27 7pm Pacific
End date: Sunday, Aug 30 4pm Pacific
Each day includes three blocks with breaks in between and is designed to support you to participate, no matter where you are in the world. The retreat will include experiences where we come together online through Zoom, time for working in small groups (local and virtual), and space for guided individual retreat and practice. One timezone’s experiences feed to the next—New Zealand and Australia will lead setting some context first for others and in turn drawing on the rest of the world as you start the next day.

What are we gathering for?
Let’s come together again! Our world is shifting markedly. What may have been marginal is now clear – we’re all interconnected. We’re entangled in our health, wellbeing, planetary viability, joy, resilience, regeneration, and much more.
You, us, and GTC are tightly interwoven with a collective developmental shift. Let us create in the field that is opening up in the wake of old structures that are subsiding. How will we answer the emerging opportunities?
In 2016 - We returned to the well – renewing and deepening the field
In 2018 - We walked each other home – re-experiencing and re-creating home
In 2020 - Let's re-ignite!
Let's re-light, ignite, stoke, and tend to the changes we want and need to be, the changes we need to see and feel.
Re-light, Re-ignite, Re-attend the Flames of Life and Change
We do not know what
August will bring,
in these days, where each week
gifts the changes of a decade.
But we do know the virus will subside.
And we do know that,
when we are free to move again,
we want to celebrate this Life together.
And once more feel into
this higher purpose that
All of Life quietly invites us to.
