A profound 9-month journey into awakened wholeness through intimate community
For over 20 years across three continents, Generating Transformative Change (GTC) has developed into one of the most powerful, awakening, and mature developmental journeys available today.
I arrived feeling like a strange outlier in my own life. I departed knowing I'm part of an emerging story much larger than myself. The space between those two experiences? That's GTC—a container where your heart breaks open, your mind expands beyond what you thought possible, and you finally feel at home in the universe again.
GTC graduates are extraordinary professionals of all ages, from diverse backgrounds and from around the world. Many come to GTC sensing something is calling them, without being able to fully articulate what or why, but they share a common desire—to transform themselves and their worlds, motivated by a longing for a more beautiful, flourishing future for all.
When you join GTC, you travel alongside others who are awakening to new versions of self, relationship, and systems. What emerges over nine months with your cohort isn't just personal growth, but a fundamental shift in how you experience yourself, others, and the very ground of being. Participants consistently describe this journey as among the most meaningful experiences of their lives.
What makes GTC distinct is the recognition that our deepest transformations happen through relationship.
Rather than treating development as primarily an individual journey, GTC creates conditions where mutual witnessing, truthful exchange, and collective intelligence catalyze growth beyond what's possible alone.
The program balances theoretical understanding with embodied practice, helping you translate insights into lived experience. And while the work can be profound, there's also space for playfulness, creativity, and joy.
GTC includes a rhythm of residential retreats, online gatherings, and individual practice—creating a deep field where transformation naturally unfolds through intimate community.
Four 5-day in-person gatherings in a natural setting that support deepening presence and community connection.
Monthly gatherings between retreats for continued practice, integration, and exploration of emerging questions.
Individual sessions to support your unique developmental journey and help integrate insights into everyday life.
STAGES™ developmental assessment with personalized debrief to understand your growth edge and capacities.
Rather than a fixed sequence, GTC unfolds through an ecology of practices responsive to what's emerging in the group. While each cohort's journey is unique, these themes reflect the territory we'll explore:
Developmental Awareness: Understanding how consciousness awakens and evolves and how to navigate transitions with clarity and compassion.
Relational Practice: Discovering how transformation happens through authentic connection and collective intelligence.
Emergent Leadership: Learning to influence systems through presence and attunement to what's emerging.
Shadow Integration: Working with unconscious patterns to release energy for authentic expression and relating.
Evolutionary Purpose: Finding the unique contribution that wants to emerge through you in service of our collective future.

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.
GTC welcomes participants from diverse backgrounds who share a readiness to explore territories beyond conventional development. People come to this work when they're sensing limitations in current approaches, navigating significant transitions, or feeling called to bring more of their authentic self into expression.
The program asks for openness, courage, and commitment—not because transformation is difficult, but because it touches everything.
