Conscious Connection
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.
Social proof: "LOVED it. There's nothing else like this in Austin. This is something magical." 🤯🔥
👯♂️ 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
Connection circle to meet fellow authentic Austinites
Overview of a powerful and simple tool that catalyzes authentic connection from the heart ❤️
Want to dive in right away? Here's a guide to the tool we'll be using
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 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 who has lived abroad and in intentional communities
A former management consulting firm executive 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:
