Back Forty Groups

Come enjoy the fellowship and camaraderie from participating alongside others committed to creating their second half of life as their best half.

Some things are best accomplished in partnership with others, and designing a radical, playful, passionate and purposeful Back Forty is one of them.

Choose between reading groups providing structure and friendship or mastermind groups providing accountability and mutual empowerment for playing Big Games together.

Back Forty Fall Reading Groups:

Care to transform your experience of life, love, career and passionate purpose this fall? This group can help.

The Back Forty: 7 Essential Embraces to Launch Life’s Radical Second Half, is a robust and thorough midlife makeover book. The book's Introduction (viewable for free on Amazon "Look Inside the Book") encourages readers who truly want to benefit from the freedom and power available within its pages to set aside some regular time to truly engage in the “homeplay” exercises, surveys and inquiries presented within its pages. . .because this is how real transformation occurs.

This group offers a general overview and awareness of the life-altering concepts offered in The Back Forty, which can be followed by a deeper dive afterwards, if one chooses. Having a group to engage with along this path can be meaningful while also providing structure.

To gain the benefits of a Back Forty "examined life," we suggest a regular and organized schedule of engagement with the concepts and material. Having a set schedule with a reading goal and accountability with others for achieving that goal can help you move through the book more effectively and enjoyably.

These 8-Week Back Forty Fall Reading Groups provide a regular, scheduled and structured environment in which to join with others to share insights, impressions, “ahas,” personal revelations and self-inquiries as the group engages in one of the "7 Essential Embraces" per week.

These are not coaching groups but, rather, a lightly structured open environment to encourage individuals to express their insights while becoming acquainted with The Back Forty philosophy at a steady and manageable pace.

Groups are open to anyone who owns a copy of The Back Forty and wishes to engage in the mutual sharing of insights. The groups are based on mutual agreements of confidentiality and no cross-talk being observed and respected.

Register for an 8-week Back Forty Fall Reading Group by checking the appropriate day of the week below that best fits your schedule.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Groups will only commence when at least 10 participants have registered and will cap at 20.
  • Group meetings will take place for 1 hour at the same time each week for 8 weeks
  • Groups will take place via zoom with all participants requested to have video on
  • No coaching or cross-talk is allowed as the intention is simply to provide an open environment for each member to share their own authentic insights and impressions without the need to debate or engage in discussion around those insights. Of course, group members may interact offline as much as they desire.
  • If any group does not fill up in time for the start date, those registering for it will have the opportunity to join another group, wait until a next group in that time slot reaches the 10-person minimum, or receive a refund. Once registered for a chosen group reaching the 10-person minimum, no refunds can be offered.
