The Enough Circles create a 'brave space,' where together with a small group of peers, we deeply explore exciting and difficult questions around wealth, the opportunity and challenges of ‘doing good’ (creating impact), and our own inner and outer obstacles and supports on this journey.

The Power of Enough Circles
The Power of Enough Circles
The aim is to move participants in the direction of discovering the well-being, balance and joy found in both 'having enough' and 'doing enough’.
Sessions are split into roughly two parts:
Focused on ‘Having Enough’, including the computation of our ‘Enough number’ for our own lifestyle needs and the needs of loved ones.
Focused on ‘Doing Enough’ to start applying our resources to doing enough, making our unique contribution to alleviating suffering and addressing the world's pressing problems.
“This process helped me commit to shifting another $3m per year to a charitable account. While I knew in general that I wanted to shift more money, the process invited me to get specific about how much and when.”

The Circles
The Circles
The Circles are by invitation and there is no charge for participation
Circles consist of 7-8 individuals (and couples potentially), who meet the criteria and the commitment outlined below
Each circle is supported by a highly-skilled facilitator as well as a peer who has participated in a previous circle
The Circles meet virtually (via Zoom), once a month for 2 hours, and for a total of 8-10 sessions
Criteria for Participation
Criteria for Participation
The below criteria are used, in combination, to select fitting participants for each of the circles (they are a guideline rather than being set in stone).
Single decision-makers (people who are able to make decisions and act on those decisions, without being dependent on others)
Open-mindedness in terms of focus areas (problems to focus on) and approach (philanthropy / investing) to creating impact
A commitment to act on answers/insights discovered as a result of participating in the Circle
Recommended wealth level $100+ million (generally with significant liquidity)
The Commitment
The Commitment
Participants are asked to commit to the following:
Prioritize the group sessions over other commitments
Building the high level of trust and transparency only works if all participants are present for all sessions
Sessions will be scheduled in consultation, so the dates and times work for all participants
Willingness to explore deeply and share openly
Reveal and discuss actual numbers (wealth, spending, etc), in strict confidence
Name how you want to be perceived, so that then you’re freed to be your most authentic self in the presence of the circle members (and hearing yourself speak that out loud)
Be willing to say “ouch” if you sense (or project) that you’ve just been judged or feel shamed in response to your sharing.
Incredible honesty & bravery with each other
To do the necessary work outside of sessions
