Core circles meet monthly in a moderated confidential format. Members can also connect through their local chapter, private events, exclusive experiences and the digital community.

Most circles include 8 to 12 members. That is large enough for varied perspective and small enough for every member to be known.

Annual membership is $4,850. Travel or select private experiences may carry separate costs, disclosed before a member commits.
