Open

What Is Open?

Open is a new, in-person, 3-day event happening this month in Las Vegas, hosted by me (Steve) and my wife Rachelle. The dates are April 28-30, 2026. That's Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Open exists to help you deeply explore, tend to, and nurture the overall harmony of your life. This includes inner harmony within yourself and outer harmony with the people and the world around you.

Open invites you to embark upon a deep inner journey in a group setting. This journey includes reflective exercises, guided explorations, and light movement to help you discover new truths about yourself, let go of old limits, enhance your freedom, infuse more pleasure and delight, and orient yourself to a caring, supportive, and cooperative relationship with Life.

Open invites you to re-examine, re-imagine, and rejuvenate your relationships with yourself and with Life. It’s a sincere space for exploring your inner intelligence more deeply, especially the intelligence of your heart.

Open invites you to harmonize with the intelligence all around you – to sense its presence, feel your way into a deeper relationship, and honor your unique human journey as an expression of intelligence.

Open isn’t really a workshop, seminar, or retreat. It’s not primarily content-based. Open is inner-directed and experiential, with some light social and movement-based exercises to help you move energy through your body and voice. Open is an inner journey embarked upon together, infused with opportunities to share, integrate, and support each other as we go.

Open is for people who want to take such an intimate journey together, including opening their hearts to each other and daring to care, daring to love, and daring to co-nurture each other.

Open meets you as both an energy being and an embodied human being. It’s designed to engage with you across multiple layers of your beingness – body, mind, heart, and spirit. Huge emphasis on HEART all throughout.

Open is in-person only and this month only. We won’t be recording or streaming it. Open is a precious, timely experience for those who feel called to this space.

The Core of Open Is Harmony

The core of Open is harmony. This is the fundamental energy we’ll be flowing with throughout our time together.

What is harmony? Harmony is attuning and aligning yourself to the flow of Life’s love for you, for everyone, and for everything. Hence we’re co-creating a space of love – a Sphere of Love – together.

Harmony is being in our hearts – such that we feel happy, light, and free more often than not. Most importantly, we let ourselves FEEL. Feel it all. And share what we feel open to sharing.

Harmony is simple at its core, but to really align with harmony asks a great deal of us.

Harmony asks us to release striving and chasing, so we can fully embrace caring, kindness, cooperation, and coordination.

Harmony asks us to release pressuring ourselves and others, so we can fully enjoy flow, gentleness, and synchronizing with the rhythms of Life.

Harmony asks us to loosen our firm grip on separateness and to see ourselves as part of a larger collective and a greater field of intelligence that we’re always connected to and always an integral part of.

Harmony invites us to be deeply, immersively loved instead of lonely… to feel whole instead of incomplete… to receive endless support instead of trying to claw our way forward through effort.

Harmony invites us to open to the gentle flow of receiving and allowing.

Harmony invites us to open to more freedom and flexibility.

Harmony invites us into centeredness, trust, and love.

Harmony is a signal being broadcast through Reality continuously. It invites us to sense it, listen to it, acknowledge it, engage with it, and accept it into our lives.

Harmony demands nothing of us. It invites with gentleness, but in order to align with it, we may need to loosen, release, and clear some harshness that keeps harmony at bay. This harshness is a crusty shell we encase ourselves within, so we can go explore as separate individuals for a while. And now some of us may be internally acknowledging that this period of separation has finally run its course, or so we’ve been feeling, and we’ve been getting ready to let it go, so we can embrace another phase of life – a more harmonious and cooperative phase. Many of us can feel and sense this emergence well before we see it.

Open’s Emotional Journey

The emotional journey of Open can run deep and will surely vary from person to person. This is how the emergence of harmony is progressively felt in the body. Some suitable words to describe this emotional journey may include relief, love, kindness, recognition, surrender, acceptance, peace, connection, belonging, appreciation, gratitude, centeredness, meaning, and purpose. But since we each have different bodies, each of us will be feeling and sensing our way into a different felt emotional journey.

Sharing what we’re sensing and feeling as we go is what makes Open such a beautiful experience. This journey into deeper truths about ourselves can be intensely emotional at times, so it’s fair to expect that the space of Open will be a very emotion-rich space – a very felt space and very much embodied. This isn’t meant to be a space of retreating into the mind, nor is it meant to bypass or downplay the mind’s important role. We’re taking our minds and our smarts with us in this emotional space, which means our minds will be doing lots of integration and sense-making, as minds naturally do. Sharing our own sense-making as it unfolds will be part of this journey too.

One way to make sense of this emotional journey is that we're entering a space of feeling very loved by Life and very much in love with Life. When we're really centered in harmony, we inhabit a Sphere of Love. Our collective assignment, if you will, is to consciously enter into this Sphere of Love and flow with its energy for three days together, allowing it to re-align us and guide us from within.

There are many pathways into this emotional journey. Some feelings will emerge during the event. Some feelings may surface on the way into Open and through the process of aligning with the decision to attend. Some feelings will flow in during the integration process afterwards. Give this time to unfold. There can be many layers to this aspect of the experience.

The emotional journey is likely to involve much releasing, which can be intense. It’s possible that you may even be feeling some strong feelings coming up already if you’re attuning to the energy of the experience, which can be potent. If some tears come up at any point, please let them flow through – this is a very normal part of the releasing process. We’ll have plenty of tissues available at Open.

If you’ve been to other community events in the past, such as previous workshops we’ve hosted, those were generally created with a lot of mental structure. Open is different. Open is crafted from and for the heartspace. Some parts of Open are designed for the mind to follow along, integrate, and make sense of shifts that may flow through emotionally and energetically, but Open is very much focused on the heartspace. At Open you’re invited to journey more deeply into what makes your heart happiest and most delighted.

It’s okay to come to Open feeling however you’re feeling. If you currently feel depleted, if you’re navigating life reasonably well, or if you’re thriving and flourishing, you’re welcome into the heartspace of Open. Open invites, welcomes, and cherishes your feelings, so please bring your feelings with you into the room each day. Open is a space of rich, deep, honest feels.

My role is to help us hold this Sphere of Love together and to gently yet passionately guide us through a sequence of exploration, discovery, and integration steps inside. Much of the design of Open has come through well in advance, and some of it will spontaneously arise from within. Open is meant to be spacious, receptive, and responsive while flowing within an intelligent, thoughtful structure. Open has a strong core spine, and this spine is flexible. There’s even room for more hidden vertebrae to potentially reveal themselves as we go. The heartspace is often a space of mystery and surprises.

Who Is Open For?

Open is for:

• You – if you’re already feeling some inner resonance with this so far. Trusting your feelings is one pathway in.
• People who want to rebuild, re-infuse, or re-invigorate the harmonious flow of Love through their lives. This includes strengthening (or rebuilding) trust in Life. It includes cooperating and co-creating with Life. It includes harmonizing with Life’s emotional richness – love, pleasure, freedom, delight, friendship, creative flow, and more.
• People who sense or feel it would be worthwhile and meaningful to immerse themselves in a deep inner journey. The arc of Open involves moving through a variety of reflective and experiential containers to surface new truths about yourself and your relationship with Life. New decisions – large and small – are likely to emerge from this.
• People who’ve previously engaged with this community (past events, courses, Conscious Growth Club, forums, YouTube, social media, etc.) and who’d love to reconnect with me and others in this space in person and soak up those wonderful vibes of caring, connection, warmth, and support.
• People who are currently asking themselves, “What next?” and who’d love to discover more clarity about their priorities and direction in life, arising through an inner journey to listen, re-center, and reconnect with what’s most real and true.
• People who can acknowledge that their lives have been feeling disharmonious, unbalanced, or conflicted, and who’d appreciate a strong infusion of caring, compassion, and gentle yet strong support to help loosen and release what wants to be let go… and then to allow and receive deeper levels of cooperation and support from Life.
• People who feel there must be a better, simpler, more aligned way of living and flowing through Life with greater ease and lightness – a way that doesn’t require so much effort, struggle, pushing, or hustle.
• People who want to move beyond tolerating Life and who’d rather be deeply in love with Life.
• Anyone who feels inspired, guided, or called to help us hold this space of wonder, delight, intelligence, and love for the benefit of all.
• Anyone who’d appreciate being a part of something beautiful, inspired, heart-centered, memorable, juicy, and lovingly held to serve the greater good.

Open is a space for you to relax, unwind, receive, loosen, and connect with the deeper layers of you that want to be seen, heard, and felt. Once you enter our space, you’re invited to be in receiving mode. Let the experiences come to you. Let the reflective exercises reveal honest answers from within. Let the caring and supportive energies of Open rejuvenate you.

Let’s allow the sharing aspects at Open to arise naturally and voluntarily, without pressure, obligation, or expectation. Open respects and honors quietness too.

Open is a space where Life comes to you and invites you to sense, allow, and receive. Let Life meet you and carry you for these next steps. And please allow me the immense honor, delight, and devotion of serving as your Wonder Guide inside this space.

The Flow of Open

The main arc of Open is a guided inner journey through a sequence of containers. Each container is a span of approximately 90 minutes that involves engaging with different themes, and each theme is strongly connected to harmony. So harmony is our core, and we’ll be journeying with more than a dozen closely related energies to help us align and synchronize with harmony.

These themed containers are intelligently sequenced to encourage a meaningful cascade of shifts, releases, and realizations across our three days together. The containers are designed to interact with each other and to build upon each other as we go. For these reasons it’s wise to attend the entire three-day sequence if you want to get the most out of your journey.

The specific themes and energies that we’ll journey through together include: Wonder, Intelligence, Trust, Freedom, Embodiment, Magnetism, Love, Friendship, Pleasure, and more. Every container is intended to help support you in orienting yourself to a harmonious, cooperative, and flowing relationship with Life.

Open is also infused with multi-layered “sideways” invitations that will be woven in as we go. You can think of these as additional streams of energy running parallel to the main arc. Each of these other invitational streams are there to help you move energy, release old limits, invite new possibilities to emerge, and allow yourself to receive more of Life’s generosity. In practice this will be pretty easy to understand, but I don’t want to spoil these surprises by revealing too much up front. There’s definitely some playfulness to these because playfulness can help us get into our hearts. For now just know that Open is a space that gives your inner child plenty of room to breathe.

We’ll close our three days together with an integration-themed container to help you translate insights from your journey into meaningful next steps to take in your life going forward. I’ll surely mention Conscious Growth Club as one option for those who want long-term integration support since CGC will be starting our 10th year together on May 1st, and our annual opening for new members runs concurrently with Open. But I can assure you that Open is not set up to be a pitch-fest or upsell. Any inviting with respect to CGC will be done with a light touch while honoring the obvious truth that CGC is the core support structure for our community, built up over 9 years now. The invitation to join CGC remains identical whether you attend Open or not, although being at Open will surely give you more insight into CGC’s culture since many CGCers will be at Open. And because of Open, we’ll likely provide an extended joining window for CGC this year, perhaps until May 5th or 6th. This will allow people at Open who may be interested in CGC to have more time to reflect and decide what’s best for them. I’m sharing this up front, so you know what to expect.

Open is designed to be complete unto itself, although it is likely to open a doorway into a long-term integration process as you take steps to bring your at-home life into more harmonious alignment with what arises during your Open journey. The arc of Open is not unlike the arc of a deep psychedelic or plant medicine journey, but stretched over three days and much gentler on the body. I can acknowledge that these types of energies contributed to Open’s design and intentionality, including recommending that it just be called “Open.” Let me also acknowledge that most of Open was essentially gifted to me by what I consider to be other intelligences, some of which I’ve been working with for years now, some more recently met. Open is not primarily a work of my own individual creativity – it is much more than that. For me personally this is a very unique assignment that I accepted – one that I feel oh so ready for with a resounding YES in my heart.

The Atmosphere of Open

Open is a space of warmth, gentleness, kindness, caring, compassion, support, rejuvenation, receptivity, honesty, and self-discovery – with delightful sprinkles of playfulness, good humor, and liveliness throughout. Open is rich in optimism, hope, and all-around goodness. We firmly plant ourselves on the light side of Life.

Open is a space of truth and honesty. Open invites falsehood to melt away and release. It invites denial to uncork, so submerged truths can surface and be acknowledged.

Open includes light movement and embodiment exercises to help you move energy through your body – nothing particularly strenuous. We can provide options to make every exercise accessible regardless of mobility constraints.

We’ll have some live handpan music playing in the space now and then, serving as gentle accompaniment to help move energy during reflections and exercises. This isn’t intended as any sort of performance. It’s to help your heart open and to help you feel more present and centered. Music also serves the beautiful purpose of helping us collectively synchronize and connect with each other.

Every part of Open is by consent. You’re always free to opt out of any exercise, activity, or invitation. Some exercises will offer different levels of participation, so you get to choose how much to engage. Some exercises include an aspect of self-discovery as you’ll get to see what insights arise from within you.

The dress code for Open is – as you might guess – open! Dress in whatever way feels good to you – cozy, comfortable, expressive, whatever you like. What would you find most suitable for doing inner reflection and some light movement exercises? Sweats and a hoodie? Jeans and a button-down? A spirity gown? A favorite onesie or PJs? It’s all good. A business suit might be a bit much, but if that’s what calls to you, you’re welcome to wear that too. Please dress for your own best comfort and centeredness. Let the performative aspects slide if you sense they won’t serve you in the space.

The restrooms are right across the hall from our room, just a few steps from the entry door. So that’s as convenient as can be. I share this because I know that some people care about such things, and I want such people to know that we care about them.

Open will start with some gentle grounding and welcoming exercises to help you be fully present to our space and to help you prepare for the inner journey you’ll be taking. We’ll also help you gently warm up to the social environment, so you can feel more comfortable with and connected to the people you’ll be journeying with.

Some aspects of Open are mildly (or even playfully) ceremonial in nature – nothing held too tightly or tied to any belief system. The purpose is to help us better harmonize with each other, which serves Open’s purpose to help us create more harmonious lives. These parts infuse Open with more range and variety, helping you to understand harmony a little more deeply.

Price to Attend

The price to attend Open is $888 USD. This gets you into the event. You’ll be responsible for your transportation, lodging, and meals.

For Conscious Growth Club members, admission to Open is included as part of their annual membership, so every active CGC member is guaranteed a seat at Open if they want to claim it.

Otherwise there aren’t any coupons, discounts, or scholarships for Open, so there’s no need to put any thought or searching for that sort of thing.

There are no refunds for Open once you register for it. This is important because if we offered some kind of refund option or guarantee, it would attract some people who’d only sign up because of that. That weakens the alignment of the overall group by potentially enrolling some extra people who didn’t feel a strong enough yes and needed extra convincing. For Open it’s important that we prioritize the group alignment over the number of attendees. A smaller, more aligned group is better for everyone relative to a larger, less cohesive one.

Why $888? The honest answer is that $888 felt like the perfect price for Open. It came through as an inspired idea, and we felt a strong resonance with it. The number is three infinity signs oriented vertically. Shape-wise it is perhaps the most harmonious three-digit number, symbolic of harmonious cooperation between self and Reality across past, present, and future. This price was chosen for its symbolic meaning and harmonious alignment with the nature of the event. It also felt fair, intelligent, and reasonable, which aligns nicely with Open’s grounded aspects too. Moreover, Reality flooded us with syncs afterwards that this was our number, so let’s trust that.

Capacity

Open can accommodate a maximum capacity of about 150 attendees, based on our room size at the venue.

Open is designed to work with any size of group, from just a handful of people up to our max capacity. With fewer people it will be more intimate. With more people there will be more social energy in the space. It will work beautifully with any number because the core focus of Open is the inner journey.

We’ll likely set the space with 150 chairs since the venue needs to lock in this count a week in advance, yet we’ll be taking registrations right up to the start of the event as long as we still have capacity. If fewer than this number attend, we can stack the extra chairs on the side of the room to make the space a bit cozier. Either way, we’re reserving some space in the room for movement-based exercises, so we’re not filling every bit of space with chairs. We want to maintain some extra breathing room, so the room feels spacious, not cramped.

We won't have an elevated stage. We want this to feel intimate and personal, so I'll be moving about the space with you as we journey together.

As long as the registration buttons are present on this page, it means we still have capacity, so there’s room to sign up. If we happen to sell out, we’ll remove the registration buttons and post a message at the top of this page to let you know.

Dates, Hours, and Location

Open is April 28-30, 2026 at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. This is a major resort on the Las Vegas Strip, operated by MGM Resorts International. The hotel address is 3790 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109. It's pretty easy to find the hotel since there's a half-scale Statue of Liberty right in front, and the hotel itself looks like a cluster of skyscrapers.

We’ll be hosting Open in a meeting room on the second floor of this hotel. You’ll receive the specific room info when you sign up. We actually have a pretty unique room booked, shaped like a triangle when viewed from above. I like to think of this room as our Triangle Temple of Opening. We’ve never hosted an event in a triangle-shaped room before, but I strongly sensed it was our space once I stood inside it. It has a very vibrant and warm energy inside. In a way I feel that this room chose us. Sometimes I think of it as our “Room of No Requirement” since it’s a space of invitation, not a space of expectation or demand.

We’re in session from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM each day. This gives you plenty of free time in the evenings to catch a show or enjoy other amenities in Las Vegas.

One reason we’re hosting Open on the Las Vegas Strip is that Las Vegas is a huge energy nexus, and the Strip is the nexus within the nexus. About 40 million people visit Las Vegas each year, so there’s a huge amount of energy always circulating through this space. In this respect it’s a very supportive and aligned place to do an inner journey. This part of the Strip is also an immensely creative space, with huge themed resorts all around and a giant new baseball stadium rising up just across the street from our hotel, on the same lot where the Tropicana Hotel used to stand – we hosted some events there in 2011 and 2012. The Strip is imaginative and flexible, yes, but it’s also grounded as a very real part of Reality, and it keeps reinventing itself. So Las Vegas is an ideal spot for doing some deep inner reconstruction and re-harmonizing.

Registration is 8:00 to 9:00 AM on the first day. We recommend getting to the room by about 8:40 AM that first morning to sign in, enjoy some hugs (by your consent of course), and settle in to your seat.

We’ll have a 10-15 minute morning break, a lunch break roughly from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM each day (depending on the length of the morning session), and a 10-15 minute afternoon break. Lunch is yours to procure on your own – or with new friends you may make at Open. Since we’re on the Las Vegas Strip, there are abundant options within easy walking distance (restaurants, cafés, and food courts aplenty).

If you’re flying in from out of town, it’s very easy to get to Open. The New York-New York Hotel is only 2 miles from Harry Reid International Airport (LAS). The hotel is literally on the same street as the airport – straight down Tropicana Ave. It’s about a 10 minute ride by Uber, Lyft, or taxi. There’s a dedicated pickup spot at the airport for Uber and Lyft.

Note that flights to and from Las Vegas tend to be less expensive than for other cities because Las Vegas runs on tourism and subsidizes part of the airport costs to keep flight prices lower.

If you’re arriving by car, our meeting room is right across the pedestrian bridge from the hotel’s parking structure – just a few minutes' walk. And if you’ll be staying in an AirBnB or somewhere off-Strip, Uber and Lyft make it easy to get around.

For lodging the simplest option may be to book a guest room at the New York-New York Hotel. Check it out. Room rates are very reasonable at this time of year, both at the venue hotel and nearby hotels. Weeknights are also usually less expensive than weekends, which is one reason we’re hosting Open on a Tuesday through Thursday.

For another good option for your stay in Vegas, MGM is currently running a special deal for hotel guest rooms at two adjacent properties on the Vegas Strip (Excalibur and Luxor, both within walking distance from our venue). This includes a guest room for 2 nights for up to 2 people, a ride on the roller coaster at New York-New York, an evening show (we can recommend Blue Man Group, which is a lot of fun), free parking, resort fees covered, and 3 meals a day at a selection of nearby restaurants (including some within easy walking distance of our venue). So you can use this deal for part of your stay or even book two or more of these deals to cover your whole stay. We have no financial stake in whether you take advantage of this deal or whether you stay at any particular hotel or elsewhere, but we can tell you that this is indeed an excellent value for the Las Vegas Strip – and very timely for our event since this was just announced recently. For a deeper look at this current MGM deal, here’s a YouTube video review from someone who recently claimed this deal and shared about her experience.

Timing – Why Such Short Notice?

If it seems like you’re just learning about Open pretty close to the event, that is true indeed. Registrations for Open just opened on Tuesday, April 14. That’s 14 days before Open begins. So this is a relatively short registration window. Let me ‘splain…

Normally I’d give way more advance notice for people to register for an in-person event, but Open did not follow a “normal” process of unfolding in that sense. This event had an entirely different development arc, coming through in potent bursts of inspiration often captured in middle-of-the-night summonings. The venue booking aspect followed a unique arc as well, unfolding much more slowly and gently, requiring a whole new level of trust, surrender, and following intuitive guidance each step of the way.

So the timing of Open’s opening is a result of how it unfolded, which was indeed unusual relative to past experiences but also quite beautiful. Now I can say with confidence that this is precisely how Open wants to open. I didn’t feel this part was really my personal choice per se – it’s more accurate to say that the energy of the event itself has been guiding this process throughout, including landing at our specific room. I’ve been doing my best to listen, trust, and act in alignment with the signals that come through, and those signals have been very clear. I definitely had to step into greater trust to stay with them though, but that aspect has been getting easier. I just know that this timing of invitation is correct. It’s the right invitation window for what Open is.

The development and booking process for Open have been infused with the same energies that we’ll be working with at Open. The more I tried to lock it down with pressure to converge faster, the more it retreated and beckoned me to slow down and let it come to me. I could not create or will it into being faster. I had to just open and receive and allow it to flow through. The more I surrendered, trusted, and yielded to Open’s very yin energy, the more the pieces fell naturally into place – always with their own perfect timing. I admit this wasn’t always easy for me. But I think a key reason that I went through this experience is that it represents a version of the type of realignment we’ll be engaging with at Open. We’re all taking this incredible journey together – myself included.

I’ve learned to have a healthy respect and reverence for the potency and power of conscious live events that we host. The energy of each space takes on a life of its own, and I feel that’s very true of Open. As I perceive it, Open already exists in spacetime, like a fluctuating energy field of possibilities. The closer we get to it, the more it converges into our human timeline, and the more clearly I’m able to read its energy and share from within it. I’ve done my best to communicate what I understand about Open with honesty and accuracy, but Open is still in flux. How it converges depends on who shows up and how these energies engage with us. That isn’t something I really control myself.

My own invitation into Open was to first accept this assignment, which I recognized as a really big ask, one that I was barely ready for when I first sensed it because I could see just how intense yet also how loving this intelligent field of energy is. I had to do a whole lot of inner work to prepare myself for this role, and I received what felt like a ridiculously generous amount of help getting here. This level of help is still coming through with such abundance that it still stuns me a bit.

Now my role is to openly invite people into the space of Open, and then to serve as your Wonder Guide throughout. How this space will affect you is something I cannot predict. What I can tell you is that whether you show up or not matters greatly. Open will be different, not just for you but for everyone, if you attend because Open will respond and adapt to your energy being part of the experience. I don’t just mean that in a butterfly effect sort of way but in a more personal way. Your presence will shift the space of Open for everyone, including me. I can see this is why present-moment alignment is important and why the invitation window is meant to be short. I sort of sensed that it might be this short from several weeks earlier, but it took my mind a while to accept that this is how it wanted to come through.

For some people there may be a challenge aspect presenting itself now, but it’s meant as a gentle one, not a demand. Open is a space of being in your heart and of aligning your mind with your heart. So if your heart wants to go, and your mind is resisting and spinning up reasons why you can’t possibly make it happen, then you have some internal house-cleaning to do to bring these into alignment if you are to go. You surely won't be the only one undertaking such a process in order to go. Even if you choose not to go, then there’s the challenge of making peace with that decision and feeling good about it. See if your heart truly accepts your choice as the correct one for you.

I had to do a lot of this inner house-cleaning too, often asking myself: Just how much am I willing to trust my feelings, my intuition, and what I sense to be the invitation of very supportive and intelligent energies? My answer is that I’m willing to trust Open tremendously. I trust how it’s coming through. I trust the timing of this invitation. My mind is plenty capable of spinning up reasons why this might not work, and this invites me to keep reconnecting with my heart. This includes pre-devoting myself to serving the heck out of whoever shows up – with all my heart, mind, and energy. For me this is the space of no regrets. I know that however this plays out, I'll be there to do my very best for those who choose to partake.

This particular day of April 14 also happens to be my 55th birthday. Any particular reason to open registrations on my birthday? Well… I’ve been getting tons of number syncs related to 4-14 and 4:14 while developing Open, so I knew that on a personal level at least, there was some kind of connection to my birthday or what birthdays may represent. When the flow seemed to align pretty well with opening up registrations today, I trusted that signal and went with it. I also sense that one potential reason for these birthday syncs is that for some people who choose to attend Open, a form of rebirthing may be part of your inner journey. This could feel like being reborn into a new relationship with Life or perhaps beginning a fresh new chapter of your life. Additionally, there is indeed an element of celebration here because reaching the point of feeling very ready to host such a unique and special event has been a truly incredible journey for me. I feel really good about doing this event at 55, especially since I still feel like I’m in my 20s or 30s energy-wise. I am the opposite of depleted, so I'm really looking forward to Open. It's been nearly 10 years since we hosted an in-person event, so I see this as cause for celebration indeed.

Another perspective is that this timing is part of Open’s energy reaching out to invite you into a new kind of flow. Open isn’t asking if you’re ready for it someday... or if you might be willing to pencil it in a season or two from now. Open asks if you’re ready now… or if you can find your way to a YES within a week or two. You do have time still. It's enough time.

The timing of this invitation surely qualifies for a stronger fit. Imagine how this will impact the energy, connection, and shared journeying together. I sense this is a key part of creating a strong and loving atmosphere for Open. The room will be full of people who truly want to have this experience together, right now. Just how full in terms of numbers, I can’t say. But we’ll surely have the right people – oh yes to that! What I can promise is that whoever shows up will see me fully engaged with my heart because I am 100% all-in for you.

Now from another standpoint, this timing of hosting an in-person event about harmony seems a bit ridiculous if you look at what’s been going on in the world, doesn’t it? I won’t go into listing them all – there is too much – but it’s fair to say that Reality is currently serving up just about every conveniently accessible excuse for someone to decide NOT to attend Open. The short-notice timing is merely one of many. Objectively speaking, I almost could not have asked for a worse time to host an in-person event, especially in the USA. Isn’t harmony pretty much the exact opposite of everything else that’s trending right now? Yet I also understand why this makes Open’s timing just perfect.

Who on earth is going to actually go to Open? I love that I get to find out because I’ll be there no matter what. The answer is that it will be the perfect group – the group that Open exists to serve. The people who will show up to this are the very people whose energy is summoning Open into being. So I’d say that the real question to ask yourself is whether you sense you’re that person who helped summon this event into being. Did you request this on some level? Is there some part of you declaring that it’s time for you to experience a surge in harmony now? If that feels true to you, then this is your event, is it not? Then it’s just a matter of getting your mind on board to help you get to Las Vegas. That aspect of arriving might come through as very active yang energy (especially as a way of releasing an excess of this type of energy before you get to Open), or it may come through in a very yin and flowing way to align with the energy inside of Open. I sense this will be different for each person and that there’s no right or wrong way to make it to Open’s entry doors.

So who will possibly make it to Open under these circumstances? I imagine that it’s mainly going to be the people who can feel and sense Open’s signal the strongest – strong enough to cut through the noise, the distractions, and the world of apparent obstacles. I’d say this requires a special form of trust, possibly a whole new level of trust for some people. Trust is one of our key containers at Open, and I see how it’s not limiting itself to the span of the event.

Another part of Open includes letting go of old limits, and for some people I imagine that’s part of the pathway into this space too. Letting go of old limits has been a major part of my path for more than a year, so it wouldn’t surprise me if others are similarly entangled.

Admittedly I’m in a place of great wonder and curiosity regarding who will show up and why. My mind is undeniably curious about that, so I’m just going to let it be curious until I see how we converge into the space. I’ll bet there will be some fun stories being shared during that first morning – of how people ultimately converged on the decision to go and the reshuffling process of doing whatever it took to get themselves to Las Vegas to be part of this. That’s likely to infuse some pretty interesting energy into the space from the get-go – like “Wow, we made it here, and we’re actually doing this journey together now!” I do feel that Open would benefit from such an infusion of Wow energy, right from the start, so yes, we can invite some Wow into the space of Open. Wow is very compatible with harmony.

Asking for Your Help

Given the short timing here, I ask one meaningful favor of you now as well. This is something I need to do as part of the invitation into Open.

Asking for help is one of my own pathways into greater harmony. The old version of me really dislikes asking for help – too vulnerable, too weak, too dependent. The emerging version of me, now freshly 55, is feeling his way into allowing and receiving more help. So I’m asking you for help as well as asking Life for help.

Here’s my simple ask: Whether you choose to attend Open or not, if you know of someone who might be well-served by attending Open, I humbly ask that you please send them a link to this page (ideally now) with a personal note suggesting that they might want to look into this. That’s it… just one person that you care about… and please only if you feel that you’re doing this from the heart.

I’m not going to spend any money to market or promote Open. I know I’m not supposed to. This invitation isn’t meant to be carried on commercial wings in that way. But Open does invite sharing of its invitation in the form of genuine person-to-person contact through a meaningful heart connection – as a simple act of thoughtfulness and caring. So if someone comes to mind, and you want to give them the chance to learn about this in time and decide for themselves, I encourage you to trust that signal from within and act upon it. That’s all – just one email, text, or direct message.

Open isn’t just for the sphere of this particular community. Open is meant to be a gift for all who feel attuned to its call and who sense it will be a rich and meaningful journey worth taking together.

A Heartfelt Invitation

At this point I encourage you to allow a little time and space for this invitation to settle. Open’s energy may begin engaging with you well in advance of the event. This can take many forms. There may be an initial “No, I can’t” that slowly unfolds into a YES – much like a classic hero’s journey. There may be some strong emotions surging to be felt and released. There may be some allowing and receiving while gently feeling and sensing your way into this.

If and when you feel that Open is a yes for you, then of course you're invited to opt in and register. Rachelle and I will be there to personally welcome you into our little Sphere of Love and to lovingly hold space for your inner journey. You’ll be in good hands if you choose to be a part of this. And please allow yourself some time to sense the right choice for you.
