Yay! Conscious Growth Club is now open for enrollment for our 9th year together. You can see the invitation here:

❤️ Conscious Growth Club Year 9 Invite ❤️

This year I posted a very different kind of invitation than ever before. CGC itself is very growth-oriented – a living entity – so it evolves every year. This is another big step forward, so I wanted an invitation that captured its essence well, something that strong matches would resonate with.

Here are some thoughts about the evolution of Year 9.

Building Upon CGC’s Strengths

Year 8 was a truly fabulous year in the club. We’ve had 103 members in the club this year, so there was lots of activity all throughout. We introduced many new types of Zoom calls, bringing the total to 14, so we had more range and variety than ever before. This was also the most interactive year in the club with all kinds of participation. That created some delightful intimacy inside. I got to know many members better than ever this year.

Year 8 was a truly loving, caring, and supportive container inside. That’s super satisfying because it’s hard to develop a community like this. It takes tons of nurturing and also filtering, always being careful to invite the right people in who can help us co-create this kind of field together, so we can all benefit from it.

Rachelle and I can’t do it all by ourselves, and my heart is so filled with joy for how much help and support we’ve received in making this a reality – from the vibrational level all the way down to the practical action steps.

Going into Year 9 then, my attitude wasn’t about fixing things but about flowing with the wonderful momentum we have.

One of my core recent lessons this year has been that even when life is going really well, don’t stop there. Keep growing. Don’t settle for limits because growth is limitless. When life is good, go for great. When it’s great, go for fabulous. When it’s fabulous, go for extraordinary… then for extra-extraordinary.

This was the mindset and heartset I used when crafting Year 9’s invitation.

Deep Reflection

It took a 3-night ayahuasca ceremony last month (intense!) to really drive this home for me. My lessons while sitting with Aya’s energy were all about letting go of old limits and not settling, especially when life is going really well. She reminded me to keep stretching. This includes stretching my imagination to keep discovering more ways to stretch.

Don’t settle for abundance. Don’t settle for love. Don’t settle for caring. Don’t settle for fun. As good as those vibes are, there’s plenty more to experience beyond them. There are even more abundant, more loving, more caring, more playful frequencies of life to tap into. There are no limits.

We as humans may still be dealing with various self-imposed limits and filters, but life itself is not nearly so limited. So even as we release old limits, it’s important to remind ourselves to keep on stretching. This is where some of the most rewarding self-development work unfolds. This also speaks to the kinds of people I want to invite to join us for CGC Year 9 and beyond.

It was during the integration process for that Aya experience that tons of clarity about CGC Year 9 really flowed through, and all the dots began to connect. I’ll share some of those realizations here.

Even More Range

One of CGC’s core strengths is that we have massive range in what we’re able to cover. This isn’t a group just for entrepreneurs, wellness enthusiasts, lifestyle explorers, or online creators. CGC’s expression is like a self-development Disneyland. I love that we can talk about and work on anything in the club. Whatever impacts us is fair game since it’s a part of our journeys. We’re also very playful inside, where advancement is smoothed by approach life as a game much of the time.

Our 14 call formats are now going to be 18 formats for Year 9, which takes our range and variety from major abundance to ultra-major abundance. You can see all the formats listed about halfway down the invite page.

CGC has become a space of stretching, not of limitation. We’re not here to box you in but to invite you to really stretch your self-image much closer to how you imagine your higher self to be. This is a place where your strongest and most vibrant self gets to be nurtured into its fullest expression. It’s a place where we can relate to you as the being you’re becoming, not as your past baggage.

Connecting the Dots From Sensing to Thinking to Acting

At its core, every problem has a vibrational side and a physical side (at least). Solving problems vibrationally first, then physically, is a powerful way to advance. I’ve been sharing this method here and there in the club already, but this year I sensed it would be wise to go big with it.

One new call type we’ve added for Year 9 is called “Sense & Solve.” This is where we’ll get extra practice solving problems harmoniously, so that the practical solution not only works, but it feels very satisfying too.

I’ve been getting a lot of traction in using this approach across multiple areas of life. It’s been especially useful for stuck areas where projects were stagnant and not progressing. Earlier this year I completed some projects that had been stagnant for years, and I did them with a great sense of ease and flow. Because I paid attention to the vibrational side first, the physical solutions were very aligned with how I wanted to feel. Some of these were relatively simple problems – at least they appeared so – but once I unpacked them and got inside of them, I realized that these were powerful and meaningful vibrational lessons in disguise, just waiting for me to finally see them as such.

If you have some of this stuck energy somewhere in your life, like an area or project that’s lingering on the back burner and not progressing, bring it with you into CGC, and we’ll help you crack it open and get it moving. The process is different than you’d think. The key is to see even seemingly mundane problems as your vibrational teachers. Once you realize that your problems are actually here to help you grow stronger, that’s very transformational. The skill aspect is getting enough practice that you can do this consistently. Then your problems will start to look like Dominoes.

CGC as a Leadership Dojo

Many members in the club have been gradually evolving in the direction of leadership. I don’t mean the corporate or hierarchical kind. This is more of a vibrational shift. As members step into their power, they increase their ability to create more ripples in other people’s lives as well. As they begin to see some of these ripples revealed, that gets people thinking even more about purpose and contribution.

As this path to purpose has been unfolding at the individual level, I’ve been reflecting on how CGC could better support this opening. CGC’s core purpose is to lovingly and powerfully support our members’ paths of growth, so it too needs to grow as we do.

Las year we added the new Contribution Café call format to specifically focus more energy on purpose and contribution for members who align with this. We’re keeping these calls going for Year 9, but I’ve also sensed that it’s time to evolve the club to provide even more support for this direction.

The phrase “Leadership Dojo” came through several weeks ago, and I immediately thought: That’s it!

I love this framing because it speaks to who we’re becoming. We’re emerging leaders – first in consciously leading our own lives, then in creating positive ripples – and CGC is our training Dojo.

So if you’ve been seeing this leadership direction opening up in your life too, and you’re reading this now, that a good hint that you’re likely to be a strong match for CGC.

Being Seen

For CGC Year 8, our overall theme was Fire Infusion. Working with fire energy was a big through-line for the year as we burned off and released misalignments from our lives and amped up our motivation and centeredness.

For CGC Year 9, the theme is Be Seen. This has many facets, but I’d say the biggest one is allowing people to truly witness your unfolding growth journey. There’s something remarkably powerful about working through your advances in the presence of others inside the CGC field.

For our first 8 years of CGC, we’ve had an old energy that’s been coming along for the ride, one that we must release for Year 9. That’s the energy of hiding – of being a background character inside the field of CGC.

On a practical level, this old energy took the form of some members attending Zoom calls in a non-participatory mode – camera off and not raising hands during opportunities to share. And that was okay for the first 8 years. We held space to work with this energy too. But this energy doesn’t mesh with where we’re heading. It doesn’t support a strong enough field. It doesn’t align with CGC being a Leadership Dojo.

So for CGC Year 9, we’re strengthening the field by releasing this background mode from live calls, at least for the ones that Rachelle and I host. That means that everyone is on camera, fully present, ready to participate.

In CGC Year 8, we introduced a “splash zone” feature to some calls. This meant if you were on camera, you were open to being called upon to participate – no need to raise your virtual hand. But there was still the option to turn off the webcam and just watch. Most calls, however, just had voluntary sharing, so even if you were on camera, you wouldn’t be expected to share unless you volunteered.

Near the end of this CGC year, we also began practicing “splash chaining,” whereby a member who shares gets to randomly call upon another member to share – anyone on camera is a fair choice. But again, there was still the off-cam option available too.

For Year 9 there isn’t a passive-attendance option for these live calls. If you’re in the space with us, you’ll need to be on camera and willing to actively participate. That doesn’t mean that everyone will be called upon to share something each time, but it does mean being open to it. Otherwise if someone tries to attend a call in hiding mode, we would invite them to join us on camera, and if they declined, we would drop them from the call.

This change isn’t to punish or shame anyone. It’s to elevate, protect, and strengthen our field inside. There’s a different energy on a call when everyone is on camera and fully seen. Having even one person in the space in off-cam mode shifts the vibe of the experience for all involved. It’s like having an intimate conversation while someone else is hiding behind the drapes, watching you engage. And even when you acknowledge their presence and invite them into the space to be seen and to participate, they still choose the drapes.

The whole experience on a live call is stronger and more aligned if everyone is fully present, just as if we were gathering in person. We want people who are in the space of these calls to really be in the space with us, not half-present. We want everyone shining their light together to help co-create the experience. That’s our standard for Year 9 and beyond.

Not everyone is willing to do this. We’re here to engage with the willing.

Every call in CGC is optional. None are mandatory. So if someone doesn’t feel up to contributing to our strong, mutually supportive, we-are-all-seen-here energy for these calls, they can skip the call. But in Year 9, they do not have the option of merely showing up to watch. We are releasing this energy starting on May 1st, so passive watch mode will no longer be part of the club.

If other members who host their own calls in CGC want to allow for an off-camera mode, that’s their choice, but all of the calls that Rachelle and I host together from May 1st onward will be on-camera for everyone.

This is an example of looking at the vibrational aspect of a situation first, finding the place of alignment, and then translating it into the physical layer. The transformational energy is clearly stronger when we all agree to harmonize our co-creative energy, and being seen together in our emergence is a big part of that. All this requires at the action level is a simple change to what we invite.

From Depletion to Overflow

In CGC Year 9, we’re placing an even stronger emphasis on living from overflow instead of depletion.

When you build excess capacity within yourself – energetically, emotionally, creatively – you have more to share without running dry. You can lift others without sacrificing your own footing. You can contribute with delight instead of draining yourself.

In CGC we’re making this our norm: to meet each other in a state of overflow. To give from abundance, not from scarcity. To share from wholeness, not from woundedness. This practice strengthens not just individuals, but the entire community field.

Overflow doesn’t mean perfection. It means investing in yourself first – restoring, nourishing, aligning – so you’re showing up fully charged, ready to support and be supported.

Year 9 is about learning to live there. What most people don’t realize is that living from overflow is a choice – one that must be made vibrationally before it can be engineered into existence physically.

Building a Stronger Club

Practically speaking, CGC has never offered a better value for members than it does now.

Once you join CGC from here on, you can continue renewing each year for $1111 – only a third of the new member price of $3333. This rewards commitment, consistency, and long-term investment in your growth. It recognizes that our core members are also contributing by helping us to hold and sustain the field in which we all grow together.

The bar to get in is higher than it is to renew. Renewing is a breezier and lighter decision. For new members considering joining, we want you to pause and reflect first. Joining CGC, especially for Year 9, is a big deal. We don’t want this to be an impulse choice for anyone. We want you to make it thoughtfully.

We’re very protective of our space, and it’s definitely not for everyone, so it’s important that we continue to filter and deflect the misaligned – no Trump supporters, no prima donnas, just growth-oriented team players who align with our purpose. We’ve been doing a great job of that for many years now, which is one reason we have such a strong and aligned club inside. We filter for truth-alignment, love-alignment, and power-alignment at the door. The invitation is meant to deflect and repel as much as it is to invite. Only strongly aligned people are likely to find it enticing.

One of the best ways for us to keep attracting new members is also to grow from within. So we’ve added a simple and generous referral program starting this year. Members who refer a new member to join can get their own renewal totally free. So if you refer at least one new member to us each year, you can essentially lock in a perpetually free membership – simply by continuing to bring in highly attuned people who resonate with CGC’s energy and purpose. In this way we support those members who help support the club’s ongoing growth and evolution.

Infusing More Playfulness and Sexiness

Another theme weaving through Year 9 is the infusion of more playfulness and sexiness into the club’s energy.

Growth doesn’t have to be heavy. Alignment doesn’t have to be stoic. Transformation doesn’t have to feel like trudging uphill.

It can be lively. It can be sensual. It can feel like flirting with reality, dancing with your dreams, turning your own evolution into an art form.

In CGC we embrace the idea that conscious growth can feel good, energizing, and even a little mischievous. When your life feels deeply attractive to you, you naturally magnetize the right people, opportunities, and experiences into your field.

We’re allowing that aliveness to breathe through everything we do. And we’re also giving it even more space to breathe with new the Fun & Games and Mating Call formats this year. Many of us bond through fun and laughter, so we want to keep enhancing this aspect of the club’s field too.

Life Support Team

One of the aspects I appreciate most about CGC is the incredible level of support that flows through the club.

It’s not just Rachelle and me holding space. It’s a collective of caring, wise, heart-centered beings who know how to hold, love, uplift, and stretch each other.

CGC isn’t just a group you join. It’s a life support team you consciously weave into your journey – people who see you, believe in you, and encourage you to rise into your truest expression.

If you’re a very nurturing person yourself, you’ll find this to be a space where that quality is deeply appreciated. I’ve also seen how some members who weren’t very nurturing of others at first have really developed this quality in themselves, sensing the joy that comes from encouraging others.

I feel deeply held by this community too. It supports not just my personal growth but also the projects, courses, and events I create. Many of my best ideas and initiatives over the past several years were birthed and nurtured through the energy of CGC.

If you want to feel truly supported – not just tolerated or superficially encouraged but deeply witnessed and championed – CGC is one of the best places to experience that.

We don’t run CGC in some corporate way. We have a strong structure for it, and it’s maintained very responsibly, but it’s very important to me to keep the field caring, gentle, and intimate, even as we stretch ourselves.

Starfire Nursery – Discover Your Core Vibescapes

One of the most intimate and powerful additions for CGC Year 9 is the introduction of Starfire Nursery, an 8-week live series we’ll be hosting this fall. This is exclusively for CGCers and won’t be offered to anyone outside the club.

Starfire Nursery is about stepping into the vibrational roots of who you are. It’s not about goal-setting or external vision boards. It’s about discovering the inner stellar nursery that’s been generating your most meaningful desires, goals, and creations all along – the living frequencies that nourish your path.

Each week we’ll meet live online (but not recorded) to explore these core vibescapes – the emotional, energetic terrains that power your alignment. You’ll map, name, and begin cultivating your inner landscape with exquisite clarity.

The intention isn’t to force new outcomes. It’s to fall in love with the fertile vibrational ground inside you – to nourish it, trust it, and let it guide your expressions and creations more naturally.

These sessions will be highly interactive, playful, deep, and spacious. They’ll encourage emotional honesty, vibrational tuning, and creative revelation.

I sense that for many members, Starfire Nursery will become one of the most meaningful experiences we’ve shared so far – not just for what it helps you create, but for how it helps you become.

Starfire Nursery begins this September and will run weekly through late October. It’s woven directly into the Year 9 flow – part of the living expansion we’re stepping into together. The exact dates and times are shared on the Year 9 invite page.

Gathering In Person

I’m thrilled to share that we’re planning our first in-person CGC gathering for April 2026 in Las Vegas.

It will be a four-day event, free to CGC members as part of their membership. You’ll just cover your own travel, lodging, and personal expenses like food.

I’m envisioning a vibrant, co-creative experience – not just passive consumption but active participation and spirity collaboration.

This gathering will be another step forward in weaving the CGC field even tighter and deeper. For many it will be the first time meeting face-to-face with people who’ve already been walking alongside them for years, supporting, challenging, and inspiring them.

Feeling the Call

If you feel the call, if your spirit stirs when you imagine yourself growing and co-creating alongside other conscious, courageous souls, I encourage you to step through the portal and join us for Year 9.

We only open once a year – and enrollment closes at midnight Pacific on May 1st.
