Peer learning spaces for advanced practitioners
NOT NETWORKING. PRACTICE.
You've done the trainings. You have the credentials. You've read the books and attended the conferences.
But you know there's something more—a way of working that integrates futuring practices with therapeutic rigor, that brings cultural theory into organizational consulting, that treats clients as co-designers of emergent futures rather than problems to solve.
You're looking for peers. Not cheerleaders, not followers, not networking contacts. Peers who will push your thinking, challenge your assumptions, and help you develop the theoretical and practical capacities to do this work with integrity.
That's what Masterminds are for.
THE STRUCTURE
Masterminds are small cohorts (8-12 participants) meeting monthly for 6-12 months. These aren't networking groups or support circles. They're serious study and practice communities for people integrating cultural architecture into their professional work.
Each cohort has a thematic focus, combining:
Theoretical study (reading and discussing primary sources)
Case consultation (bringing your actual work for peer review)
Practice development (trying new approaches, reporting back, refining)
Futures thinking (scenario planning for your practice/organization)
CURRENT & UPCOMING COHORTS
Narrative Therapy & Cultural Architecture
For therapists integrating futuring practices and chronotopic awareness into clinical work
6-month cohort beginning March 2026
Monthly 2-hour sessions (3rd Thursday, 5-7pm PT)
We'll work with Michael White's theory of liminal space, Bakhtin's chronotopes, contemporary futuring practices, and critical theorists (Han, Glissant, Latour, Escobar, Keating) to develop a practice approach that goes beyond repair toward cultural design.
Organizational Futuring for Consultants
For consultants and organizational development practitioners
6-month cohort beginning May 2026
Monthly 2-hour sessions (2nd Friday, 10am-12pm PT)
Deep dive into scenario planning, chronotopic interventions, narrative culture assessment, and building organizational capacity for emergence. Bring your actual client work for peer consultation and theoretical exploration.
Cultural Architecture for Creative Practitioners
For artists, writers, designers, and cultural workers
12-month cohort beginning September 2026
Monthly 90-minute sessions (1st Wednesday, 4-5:30pm PT)
How do you build a sustainable creative practice that contributes to cultural futures? We'll explore temporal literacy, chronotopic design, counter-defuturing practices, and the business models that support cultural architecture work.
