Daily Summit Agenda

DAY 1

WHAT IS AUTHENTIC LIVING?

For Day 1, we’ll be exploring the journey that individuals typically undergo on the path from isolation to openness and freedom. We’ll also discuss the most common problems caused by contraction, such as loneliness, conformity, and much more.

DAY 2

CONTRACTION

For Day 2, we’ll be diving deep into the most common scenarios that are caused by and lead to further contraction in our lives, whether it’s shame, addiction, fundamentalism, or even fear — along with the tools to better manage them.

DAY 3

EXPANSION

For Day 3, we’ll be discussing how to recognize the moments when each of us feels at our most expansive and how to enhance these states, as well as how to cultivate love, compassion, gratitude, and working for the common good.

DAY 4

THE JOURNEY

For Day 4, we will discover what exactly we need to take and what we need to leave behind on the journey towards authentic living, whether it’s building community, deepening our awareness of death, processing how to let go, and many other powerful practices.

DAY 5

THE EMERGENCE

For Day 5, we’ll be lifting the ceiling on what’s possible. With the dawning of clarity, we’ll be exploring how good things can emerge on the path to healing, as well as the wisdom, creativity, awe, and kindness we’ll be gaining as a result of this transformative journey.
