Private leadership community gathering hosted by Ace & Breathe

Membership

The Circle

A private community for founders, CEOs and senior executives. Members come back for the specific network of rested, clear headed peers not for the facility.

Why It Exists

A retreat ends. The pressure does not.

The clarity a leader leaves a retreat with has a half life. Within weeks, the calendar refills, the load returns, and the protocol quietly gets deprioritised behind everything that feels more urgent.

The Circle is the retention layer the structure that keeps the work going between gatherings, and keeps you in contact with the handful of people who understood the room you were in.

It is also the answer to a question we hear constantly: where do I find other people carrying this much who are actually honest about it?

What Membership Includes

Access, continuity, and a room that stays open

Priority on every cohort

Members see dates and locations before anyone else, and hold places on retreats that are rarely advertised publicly.

Round Tables between retreats

Small format conversations that keep the candour of the retreat alive when everyone is back inside their own pressure.

Physician led office hours

Recurring sessions with Dr. Akobo on recovery, load management and the practical mechanics of not breaking.

A directory worth being in

Vetted peers across sectors and geographies. Introductions are made deliberately, never broadcast.

How Membership Works

Invitation, not registration

Membership is extended to retreat alumni and to leaders referred into the community. Every application is read by a founder.

01

Express interest

A short form — who you are, what you're carrying, and who referred you if anyone did.

02

A conversation

A direct call with one of the founders. We are assessing fit in both directions.

03

Invitation

If the room is right, an invitation follows with membership terms and the next Round Table date.

The waitlist is where most members start

Join it and you will hear about Round Tables, new cohorts, and openings in the community before they are announced anywhere else.
