Gatherings are invitational leadership conferences imbued with a heartfelt sense of community, spirit, and service. Experienced over the course of several days, the format is one of brief provocative morning keynote presentations, interspersed with music, improvisation, meditation, and short 5-minute flashes of insights. Afternoons are devoted to an open-space format in which anyone can present on anything of interest to them and anyone who wants to attend can join them. After dinner, the evenings are given over to various forms of celebration and joy.
