​​Join us for A²: Authentic Austin's Conscious Connection series!

​tl;dr: This unique gathering brings together founders, leaders, and curious people in Austin for an evening of Conscious Connection. This isn't a traditional "networking" event. A² is all about the authenticity that comes from depth.

​We're inviting both the market-focused leader AND the spiritual seeker within you to the table. Our events are part-networking, part-spiritual practice, combined into something WAY deeper.

​💬 What attendees are saying:

• ​"LOVED it. There's nothing else like this in Austin. This is something magical." 🤯

• ​"As a founder, I’m finding the people that I LOVE here. They’re spiritual people that happen to be in business of some sort." 🔥

​👯‍♂️ ​This is for you if:

• ​You feel like traditional "networking" events are too "business-ey". Sometimes they’re great and other times they feel transactional, like speed dating on how to build a business

• ​You might like "conscious" events (note: not religious), which are soul-filling, but feel divorced from the day-to-day reality of being a business owner unless you literally run a monastery

• ​You want to move past the bullshit and actually connect with cool people

• ​You struggle to let yourself go to events

• ​You're an introvert

​🤔 ​What to expect:

• ​​Guided meditation to settle and arrive

• ​Facilitated connection circle to share vulnerably with fellow authentic Austinites

• ​Group connection time

• ​​Partner walks to discuss challenges in work, life, and/or relationships​

​ ​👥 Who you might meet:

• ​A finance professor who writes about emotion in money

• ​A startup founder who is committed to building their business in a conscious manner

• ​A product executive-turned-consultant who is as much a therapist as a consultant

• ​A sales director who meditates every day and wants to master the spiritual game of chess

• ​A software engineer whose passion lies in creating IRL communities

• ​A former management consultant turned swim director and volunteer at the YMCA

​Whether you're a startup founder, seasoned executive, emerging leader, or simply curious about developing a more authentic approach to life and work, we invite you to bring your whole self to the table and connect deeply with others.

​🧳 What to bring:

• ​A relational issue you're facing in work, life, or relationships and are comfortable sharing with the group — note that this event isn't the best fit for issues that you have unprocessed trauma around

• ​Presence and an open mind

• ​Your amazing & authentic self!

​🚗 Parking:

• ​Street parking or Capitol Visitors Parking Garage (free for 2 hours)
