Thank you for creating a welcoming and growth-oriented atmosphere. I loved how experiential the weekend was. I loved being on the farm and all the practical exercises and discussions! Very different from sitting in a room listening to a presentation.

Participate experientially with a wonderful & caring group who are ready to share with you.
Through an inspiring diversity of topics, we gather for three days, both outdoors and indoors, allowing everyone the space to express, or not. Make it your experience.
Learning without ‘the PowerPoint’.
I enjoy the framework around stories!! I love this community. There is joy surrounding them in their work. The values are in alignment with how I feel and think. So basically, it feels like family. You all are amazing and wonderfully made! Love to the founders! Keep up the great work.

I’ve attended lots of events and this was different. It was more casual and there was a lot of laughter. It was clear that everyone there was there to learn something new and/or expand their understanding of how to improve their programs. I learned a lot and had a great time.

The Gathering is an incredible opportunity to network with other professionals and garner ideas and tools to increase your business success. And it is fun!
In ARCH, we are all learners and all teachers. The Gathering is a place to apply and practice the ARCH framework’s SEEN & HERD keystones and values. We would love for you to share your experience, specialization, or interest in any topic which includes how you have applied the SEEN keystones in that area.
If you’d like to submit your interest to share at the Gathering, please fill out this form.
With other rigid and limited approaches, I never felt like all of me could show up in an authentic way. There is more flexibility with SEEN™ through Story.
