The Private Circle
A small circle of people for whom service is the point - held closer than the world allows.
The model
How a council works
- One or two a year
- This is not a programme with cohorts. Gary takes on a small number of long engagements, and turns down considerably more than he accepts.
- Built around one question
- Every council begins with the thing the person or institution actually wants to leave behind - and works backwards from there rather than forwards from a curriculum.
- Music is part of the method
- Original work is composed for the engagement. Not as a keepsake at the end, but as the way the room is moved while the work is being done.
- The commitment
- $100K and upward, over a term measured in seasons rather than sessions. The specific shape is set in conversation, because no two of these have been alike.
Whether that becomes an application, an inquiry, or a longer engagement, the honest way in is the same: begin a conversation.
