Conscious Growth Club FAQ

Conscious Growth Club is a year-long, live, participatory growth community for people who want more support, connection, clarity, and aliveness in their real lives.

It’s not mainly a content library or a private study program. It’s a living space where you can bring what’s actually happening in your life – decisions, relationships, stuck points, transitions, desires, challenges, openings, and the parts of you that are ready for change.

CGC works best when members show up, connect, participate, and help create a warm, honest, high-trust room together.

CGC Year 10 runs from May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027.

Your membership begins as soon as you join, so you can access the member areas right away instead of waiting for the official start date.

Enrollment for this CGC year closes Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.

We only open CGC to new and returning members once per year. After enrollment closes, we focus on supporting the group that has gathered for the year.

The price for new or returning members is $3333.

The renewal price for active CGC members continuing into the next year is $1111.

No. CGC is offered as a one-year membership.

That’s intentional. A shared yearly container helps us create a more stable, coherent, high-trust community. Instead of people randomly joining and leaving every month, members have time to know each other, support each other, and grow together across the year.

CGC isn’t designed for casual dabbling. It’s for people who feel ready to be part of a real room for a full growth year.

No. CGC memberships are paid in full.

We tested payment plans in the past, and while they helped some good people join, they also added friction, missed payments, awkward admin issues, and more uncertainty inside the group.

Keeping payment simple helps us keep the space cleaner. Once the membership is settled, we can focus on the actual growth, support, connection, and community experience for the year.

If CGC feels aligned but the investment isn’t currently workable, honor that honestly.

Some members have found creative ways to join when the yes was strong. Others have chosen to wait for a future year, which can also be a clean and intelligent choice.

If this isn’t the right timing financially, you might begin with Steve’s courses, blog articles, YouTube videos, or newsletter instead. There are many ways to stay connected to the work until CGC becomes a clearer fit.

CGC is mainly a live, relational, participatory experience.

There is a private member portal with courses, recordings, and other resources, and those materials can be valuable. But Year 10 is centered on the living community: live calls, real conversations, member support, and the private forum.

If you mostly want a content library to consume privately in the background, CGC probably isn’t the best match. If you want a real space to bring your life into, connect with thoughtful people, and receive support that fits what you’re actually moving through, CGC may be a very strong match.

CGC Year 10 includes several live Zoom call formats, each designed to support a different kind of need.

Some calls help with practical support, decisions, and stuck points. Some help you reconnect with your body, your relationships, your joy, your sense of possibility, or your capacity to release what no longer fits. Some calls help us connect socially and stay woven together as a real community.

Calls are warm, interactive, and participatory. They are not webinars where you passively watch from the background. They’re spaces for showing up, being seen, listening, sharing, reflecting, and helping each other move forward.

Most Year 10 calls are scheduled for 11:11 AM Pacific Time on weekdays.

Calls are usually about 90 minutes. You don’t need to attend every call, but CGC works best if you can attend live at least somewhat regularly.

If weekday calls at 11:11 AM Pacific are basically impossible for your schedule, CGC may not be the best fit this year.

Yes. If you attend a live CGC call, please plan to be on camera.

This helps create the trust, presence, warmth, and realness of the room. CGC is not designed for hidden, half-present, camera-off lurking. The quality of the space comes from real people showing up with real presence.

You don’t have to be polished or performative. You just need to be present, respectful, and willing to participate in good faith.

Most CGC Year 10 calls are unrecorded.

This supports more honest, present, and human conversation. Members can speak more freely when the room is live and private rather than recorded for later viewing.

If a call is going to be recorded, we’ll make that clear in advance.

The private CGC forum is our main asynchronous community space. It’s where members share updates, ask questions, keep progress or experience logs, reflect after calls, and continue conversations between live sessions.

Forum activity naturally moves in waves. Sometimes it’s very active; sometimes it’s quieter. You can participate at a level that fits your life and your season.

The forum is private, ad-free, and designed for thoughtful community interaction. It’s a good place to stay connected even when you can’t attend every live call.

The CGC member portal is our private resource library.

It includes Steve’s courses, previous CGC recordings, and other member materials. You can use the portal for private learning, review, and integration at your own pace.

For Year 10, the portal remains part of the value, but the heart of CGC is the live, adaptive, relational experience.

After you join, you’ll receive access to the member portal and the private CGC forum.

You can introduce yourself, explore the resources, review the call schedule, and begin connecting with other members. We’ll also help you orient to the space so you can find your footing and start participating in a way that feels natural.

You don’t have to “catch up” or consume everything. Just begin where you are. CGC is designed to support your real life, not become another pressure stack.

No. You don’t need to arrive with perfectly clear goals.

Some members join with specific projects, transitions, or challenges. Others join because life works on the outside but feels off, thin, heavy, or under-supported on the inside.

CGC can help you clarify what matters now, what wants support, what wants to change, and what kind of life you want to move toward next.

CGC attracts thoughtful, growth-oriented people who value honesty, curiosity, self-awareness, emotional maturity, and real personal change.

Members tend to appreciate depth, warmth, experimentation, learning, conscious living, better relationships, and meaningful connection. Many are sensitive to alignment and want their lives to feel more true, alive, and coherent.

This is a high-trust community. We care about the quality of the room, and members are expected to participate with respect, presence, and basic human decency.

Yes, it can be.

Many people who resonate with CGC are already capable, intelligent, and functional. Their lives may look fine from the outside, but something still feels undernourished, unsupported, overly compressed, or not fully alive on the inside.

CGC isn’t only for crisis moments. It’s also for people who want more warmth, depth, truth, friendship, embodiment, joy, clarity, and honest support in the life they’re already living.

No. CGC is not therapy, medical care, mental health treatment, or a trauma recovery program.

It is a personal growth community with live calls, private forums, courses, and member-to-member support. The space can be warm, helpful, and emotionally meaningful, but it is not a substitute for professional care.

If you need specialized mental health, trauma, addiction, crisis, or medical support, please work with an appropriate professional outside CGC.

CGC aims to be respectful, caring, and emotionally mature, but it is not a specialized trauma-informed community.

Members may discuss difficult life experiences, but CGC is not designed to provide trauma treatment, crisis intervention, or professional therapeutic support.

If trauma recovery is your primary need, please seek a qualified trauma-informed professional or a community specifically designed for that purpose.

Yes. CGC has welcomed members from many countries since it began in 2017.

Many members are in North America and Europe, but the community has always had an international flavor. The main practical consideration is whether the live call time works well enough for you.

Yes. Many CGC members speak English as a second language.

You don’t need perfect English. If you can understand and participate in English conversations reasonably well, you should be able to connect and engage inside CGC.

CGC includes adults across a wide age range.

Many members are in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. We’ve also had younger adults and older members participate. What matters most is not your age, but your resonance with the space and your willingness to engage with honesty, maturity, and curiosity.

Yes. CGC is not only for career-focused people.

Members work on many aspects of life: relationships, health, creativity, purpose, lifestyle, emotional patterns, self-trust, social connection, contribution, exploration, and more.

If you’re still interested in growing, connecting, learning, and living more consciously, retirement is no obstacle.

Yes. LGBTQ members are welcome in CGC.

We do not permit discrimination based on sex, race, gender, orientation, identity, or similar personal characteristics. We aim to maintain a respectful, high-trust space where members can show up as themselves and be treated with basic human dignity.

Yes. Many CGC members are vegan, vegan-leaning, or sympathetic to vegan values.

CGC is not exclusively vegan, but it is a vegan-friendly community hosted by long-term ethical vegans.

Yes. Many CGC members have an interest in spirituality, consciousness, subjective reality, intuition, energy, and the deeper layers of personal growth.

CGC is not religious, and it doesn’t require one shared belief system. The space tends to work best for people who can explore these topics with curiosity, openness, nuance, and respect.

Members discuss many areas of conscious growth: relationships, emotions, health, habits, creativity, life direction, money, sexuality, spirituality, productivity, courage, identity, lifestyle design, psychedelics, AI, subjective reality, and more.

You don’t have to engage with every topic. The forum makes it easy to choose which discussions you follow, and you can mute threads that aren’t relevant to you.

The shared standard is that discussions remain respectful, constructive, and aligned with the quality of the room.

That’s okay. You can choose which calls and forum threads you participate in.

CGC includes a broad range of growth-oriented discussions, and not every topic will be for everyone. Members use descriptive forum titles, and you can mute threads you don’t want to follow.

You’re welcome to engage where there’s resonance and skip what isn’t for you.

There is no mandatory time requirement.

Some members attend many calls, post regularly in the forum, and make CGC a major part of their year. Others participate more lightly.

That said, CGC works best when you actually use it. If you join, plan to attend live calls when you can, engage in the forum at least sometimes, and bring your real life into the space instead of letting the membership sit unused in the background.

Yes, as long as you’re willing to gently participate.

You don’t need to be loud, polished, extroverted, or instantly comfortable. Many thoughtful people need a little time to warm up in a new room.

CGC is not a performance space. It’s a participation space. You can begin simply, show up honestly, and let connection build over time.

CGC is a high-trust community. Members are expected to show up with honesty, presence, warmth, respect, and basic maturity.

That includes respecting confidentiality, participating in good faith, making room for differences, and not bringing contempt, cruelty, bigotry, dehumanizing energy, chronic dumping, or room-draining behavior into the space.

If someone clearly weakens the room rather than strengthening it, we reserve the right to remove them from CGC.

CGC is probably not a good fit if you mainly want private content to consume alone, if you don’t want a live community experience, if you prefer to stay hidden in the background, or if being on camera for live calls is a no for you.

It’s also not a fit if you want a space that indulges chronic victimhood, contempt, cruelty, ideological rigidity, or endless circling without movement.

CGC is designed for people who want a warmer, more honest, more participatory room – and who are willing to help create that kind of space with us.

Then CGC is not a fit.

CGC is built around a strong commitment to truth, love, power, honesty, growth, and high-trust relating. The MAGA/Trump-aligned field is not compatible with the kind of space we’re creating here.

This isn’t about turning CGC into a political group. It’s about protecting the intentional quality of a private community. People are free to explore other values and alignments elsewhere, but CGC is not the room for that exploration.

All sales are final.

CGC is a live, relational, year-long community experience, so please join from a clear yes.

If you’re unsure, take the time you need to read the invitation carefully. Join when the yes feels clean.
