Who it’s for / not for
For: intellectually curious, professionals, creators, academics, seekers of authentic community. Not for: wellness clichés, guru worship, quick fixes.

About the Founder: I was born in New Zealand and first became intrigued by Buddhist art and architecture on a trip to Kathmandu at sixteen. I’ve worked as a designer ever since, including twenty years as production designer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

A recent mushroom retreat sparked the idea for The Assembly. The experience was profound, but I wanted to understand how the mind creates it. The Assembly is the retreat I wanted to attend but couldn’t find—where contemplative practice meets clear inquiry.
