events for the spiritual seeker, startup leader, or one in the between

Good afternoon dear one,

I have hardly been able to think of anything but The Creative Field this week. Which makes sense - it’s something I’ve been working on since May, and it’s finally kicking off on Saturday! There is still some space for someone to emergently join, but the group is starting to coalesce and I am feeling really, really stoked about it. I like to refer to this container as “getting on a rocket ship together,” and the countdown has begun.

To take care of myself and prepare to hold space, I gave myself a visit to the ocean on Monday, and spent time with redwoods this morning. I’m doing all I can to show up grounded, ready, and available for what wants to emerge through the portal. Thanks to all of you who have done collective listening with me, whether it has been attending a workshop, coming to a birthday party, hanging out in stillness, or something else. It has all reinforced my readiness for this.

More creative ideas for events keep flowing. I look forward to engaging with you on it. As always, my inbox is open.


School of Unusual Life Learning - the nature of being human

Sunday, October 5th to Saturday December 6th | Online Course

Slightly different from the typical event I post on here. SoULL has been in my vicinity for the last couple of years, and everyone I know who’s participated in it is able to look at life with a sense of wonder and groundedness.

Principles from SoULL teachings have made their way into many of my own workshops and ideas, and I’m excited to be attending this course, which is primarily about looking at how energy moves through the human body as it undergoes various stages of life.

Apply before Friday!


Family Constellation with Third Way

Sunday, September 28th | 2-5pm Pacific | Berkeley

Family Constellations are beautiful spaces involving a community coming together to deeply support an individual. Each constellation has a seeker, one who is asking questions and wants to engage with their own family’s stories and history. I have had the privilege of witnessing many beautiful seekers, and this time I will be the seeker, along with other members of my housing community! This is an invite to make space for the unknown with us and to feel together.

If you want to hear more about Yvette’s facilitation or what a Family Constellation is, send me a note.

Public Conversation with Johnson Tang

Thursday, October 2nd | 1130am-1230pm Pacific | Online

1. There is a zoom
2. There are hosts (Johnson & me)
3. We all have a conversation

Johnson is a fellow coach, startup person, and educator. Recently, though, we’ve been talking family stuff and learning how our relationships with our families have influenced our own life paths. I look forward to seeing where this one goes.

leading from within: access your inner authority in uncharted waters

Thursday, October 2nd | 3-430pm Pacific | Online

After working with founders for a couple of years, this is my first public event that’s specifically catered to people who have started businesses and movements.

I use the word “founder” loosely. To me, it means someone who is taking risks to bring an underexplored idea into the world. And… I also love working with startup founders because of my own background. For the right person, I think this will be an exquisite gathering.

Coaching Circle for Startup Leaders

Wednesday, October 8th | 530-7pm Pacific | San Francisco

My friends at Tandem have invited me to participate in this circle-based coaching event for SF Tech Week. I love doing coaching in groups, or live. Even though only one person receives the support, everyone who’s present benefits. For this event, you can be a founder, engineer, manager, or have a different startup role. There are specialized coaches for every function.

Phew, the list gets longer and longer. I am inspired by how many beautiful things are happening in these spheres. Healing, deep conversations, and community. Looking forward to seeing you at one of these, whether now or in the future, and I wish you also get some time with the water and with the trees.

With love,

Rishi
