Ten spots

Become a Lifetime Founding Patron

$697, paid once, by application

Ten people will hold this place in the Inner Circle for good. It's for those who want to be part of building Examined Living from the start, and who want more time with me while we do it. Because there are only ten spots, it's by application, so I can make sure it's the right fit for you.

Apply for a spot

Three short questions. No payment today. If it's a fit, I'll reply personally with next steps.

What Founding Patrons receive

The Inner Circle for life, with every course, Inner Circle Live, and Backstage Pass.

A seat at the annual Founding Patrons Roundtable, quarterly group Q&A with me, and a yearly 30-minute one-on-one call.

Is this you?

Identity comes apart in a lot of different ways. The event is never the same. The mechanism always is. Something you built yourself on turned out not to be solid ground.

~You keep trying to change the same pattern and end up back where you started.

~The way you've always coped stopped working, and you don't know what replaces it.

~You grew up between countries or cultures and have never had a clean answer to where you are from.

~You moved, or your family did, and the person you were did not survive the move.

~A DNA test told you something about your family that nobody had told you.

~You were adopted, or you found out later that you were.

~You carry a heritage that people cannot see when they look at you.

~A divorce, a diagnosis, a death, or the end of a career took the floor out from under you.

Who you'll be with

I am Bradley Hall. I am a trauma recovery coach and approved coach supervisor with the International Association of Trauma Recovery Coaches, and I hold a master's in depth psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute.

In 2018 a DNA test told me the man I called Dad was not my biological father, and that my biological father had lived near me my whole life and died before I could meet him. I have spent the years since working with people standing where I stood.

This is a hand reaching back down a hill I have already climbed.
