The Live Wire
February 24 - 27, 2027
12 Humans.
3 Days.
Texas Hill Country.
Come, Practice Courage
AI is transforming our world. Some of us are accelerating AI adoption: making big bets, pushing for scale, chasing the competitive edge. Some of us are pushing back, preserving culture, and protecting against unintended consequences.
One calls it opportunity. The other calls it risk.
Underneath both: nobody wants to be irrelevant. Nobody wants to lose the things that drives them.
We think we're talking about AI.
We're really talking about fear.
Fear is the live wire running through every organization.
Fear is why we can't change at the rate we know is possible, and causes us to treat AI the same way we treat every other change. One step forward, three steps back.
Fear is the current under the decisions nobody wants to make out loud. Most of us insulate ourselves from it. But we're still at its mercy: performative buy-in, silence in meetings, compliance, over-polished communications that say nothing, lonely leaders at the top.
Invite-only: An intentionally-curated room
We’re curating a group of 12 brave people from across industries.
Food. Healthcare. Media. Tech. Infrastructure.
Industries with nothing in common except the size of the problem they're holding.
To do what most organizations want to do but often don’t: flexing our muscle to take bold, creative risks. Most of us respond to disruption by defending or accelerating, bracing or betting. We'll practice a third way: becoming.
We're not just asking how to get people to use AI. We're asking who we get to become because of it.
We’ll be staying at a wellness oasis in the Texas Hill Country
We’ll be staying at a luxurious wellness resort, originally envisioned as a spiritual oasis for curious, health-conscious people and businesses. While staying in this state-of-the-art facility, we’ll be surrounded by flowering bluebonnets, blanket rolling hills, juniper trees with bright berries, and the babbles of the Cypress Creek
FAQS. Answered.

During the three days, we move:
From processing to clarity: We start with stories, with the fears and binaries that keep us managing instead of transforming, with what we're each carrying and what it's costing us. We'll make what we're subject to, object.
From finding certainty to practicing flexibility in the unknown: We work through the polarities that trap us, practice sitting with uncertainty instead of resolving it too fast, and start to see what becomes possible when we stop reaching for the old answers.
From inner work to organizational work – and back again: We use what we've uncovered personally to look at the systems we're leading. What are the real experiments worth running? What are you willing to commit to? What are you done pretending is working?
From surface to deep below: We sense into the depths of organizational issues, traumas, misalignments, and draw out new understandings and possibilities.
And we take care of ourselves. Play, rest, good food, humor, movement, silliness — intentionally woven in.

Experiential learning is designed to surface what's running beneath the surface of your leadership and give you new ways to work with it.
We use proven facilitation and coaching methods including family constellations, polarities, adaptive leadership, somatics, and breathwork.
Some of these might be comfortable and familiar, like peer coaching and structured thinking. Others not so much. Like an organizational constellation where different people will stand and represent your fear, your past, your C-suite, and AI within your organization.

Three days away from the office is not nothing. This retreat is designed to get you closer to your goals.
Organizational goals focused. The problems you're trying to solve won’t get solved in a Tuesday afternoon workshop. They require the kind of thinking that only happens when you step back far enough to see the whole system. That's what three days buys you.
Cross-pollination of thinking. You'll be sitting with and thinking alongside leaders from different industries. This means you're hearing what's actually working and what's failing across completely different contexts. You'll hear successes you can steal and failures you can avoid.
Creative point of view and community. You'll leave with a point of view that's actually yours, skills you can use the next day, and ideas small enough to test the week you get back. And you'll leave with peers who understand what you're carrying, people you can call when the next thing breaks.
But we’ll be honest: This program is not for those asking “can my business afford three days away"?”. This retreat is for who know they can’t afford to keep doing what they’re doing.

You won't leave empty-handed. You'll leave with specific experiments to run, new facilitation moves to try, and a point of view on change that's grounded in what's actually happening in your organization right now.
The work is designed to be transferable. What you uncover about fear in yourself, you'll know how to surface in your team. Bring back and use what you practice in the room, e.g., prioritizing effectively, holding polarity, sitting with uncertainty.
You're not coming to observe. You're coming to build something you can actually use.

We are staying at a luxury resort, Miraval, in Texas Hill Country, approximately ~15-30mins from the Austin airport.
-
We will take care you once you arrive at the property. That means the retreat, space, lodging, food, and any activities we do are covered. Flights and transportation from/to the airport are not covered.
-
You will have a room and bathroom to yourself with either a King or Queen bed.
We’ll have breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the property. Expect snacks throughout the day. The food will lean more hearty and nourishing, prepared by the awesome chefs at the property.
We’ll reach out to ask for your accessibility and dietary needs!
Live Wire is a 3-Day retreat. 3 days of real work. Inner and organizational. Alone and together. Held by experienced facilitators, alongside good food, play, music, and rest.
Live Wire is a cohort of people who understand what you're carrying, and who you can call when the next idea strikes or the next thing breaks. This is why we intentionally curate the right group to do this work together. You can request an invitation by filling out this form.
