Know Thyself, but not by yourself.
Honest conversations, guided reflections | Coming Summer 2026
WHY THIS EXISTSA note from André
When I started this podcast, I thought the conversations would be the gift. And they really have been. But over the past three years, something else has been growing alongside them.
A global community of brilliant humans, all devoted to exploring life’s deepest questions.
After hundreds of conversations, I kept hearing the same thing from listeners:
“I wish I had more people in my life I could talk to about this.”
So here it is… An opportunity to share space in an environment conducive for breakthroughs & making life-long friends. A gathering for depth, clarity, and real connection.
We’re just at the beginning stages, but I wanted to give you a chance to sign up on our waitlist so that you can be the first of folks to be notified when applications become available.
Three days of presence, connection, and the kind of conversations that change how you move through the world.

“I had a sensation that I have never experienced before. I just felt the energy of everybody accumulate into one and empower each other, and I found that beautiful to experience. So thank you to everyone who's just present, just being.”
-Daniel, EU
THE EXPERIENCEWhat three days look like
◯
guided reflections
Structured prompts and solo exercises designed to surface the questions you've been avoiding - and the answers you already carry.
◎
small group dialogue
Facilitated conversations in groups of
6–8. No small talk. Real questions, real
listening, real presence.
△
movement & stillness
Morning breath-work, walks in nature, evening meditation. Space to process what surfaces - not just intellectually, but in your body.
☽
evening sessions
Intimate fireside conversations, live
podcast recordings, and unstructured
time for the connections that happen
when you stop performing.
✦
guest facilitators
Past podcast guests and practitioners leading workshops on their craft - from lessons on discovering your Dharma to somatic healing to creative expression.
◇
integration & takeaways
You'll leave with a personal clarity map, accountability partner, and 90-day intention - not just memories.

QUESTIONSFAQ
-
Nope. You’re absolutely welcome whether you’ve listened to every episode or none at all.That said, listening to a few episodes beforehand can give you a feel for the tone of the conversations and the kind of community that gathers around Know Thyself. It’s less about being “caught up” and more about sensing the spirit of the space. Either way, you won’t feel behind. Just come curious.
-
Yes, come make new friends! Many people attend solo and often leave with meaningful connections. Our events are designed to make organic connection easier without forcing it.
-
No. Know Thyself is not religious and is not affiliated with any specific tradition or belief system.
We explore ideas from philosophy, psychology, science, and spiritual traditions — but we don’t promote dogma, ideology, or conversion to any worldview.
Our events are spaces for inquiry, reflection, and meaningful conversation. You don’t need to believe anything to attend. You don’t need to subscribe to a framework. You don’t need to identify as “spiritual.”
What we value is curiosity, discernment, humility, and openness.
-
You’ll be in good company.
Many people in the Know Thyself community are reflective, thoughtful, and more inwardly oriented. Our events are intentionally designed to allow space — not constant stimulation.
There are structured conversations, quiet moments, and opportunities to connect in ways that feel natural, not forced. You won’t be put on the spot. You won’t be pressured to perform socially.
At the same time, growth often lives just beyond the edge of our comfort zone. You’ll have gentle invitations to engage — not in a performative way, but in a way that expands you.
Come as you are. Participate at the level that feels right for you. And if you feel called to lean in a little more than usual, you’ll be supported in that too.
-
Our community is made up of thoughtful, growth-oriented individuals — entrepreneurs, creatives, professionals, students, parents, skeptics, seekers. What unites them isn’t background. It’s curiosity.
People come because they care about understanding themselves more deeply and living with greater clarity and integrity.
