    The Gathering doesn’t end at the fire. It keeps walking with you

Across all extras, the Gathering is capped at 20 people in total.We keep it small so it stays real. Once the circle is full, it’s full

The Gathering doesn’t do small talk, so neither do we

Six real questions, answered straight. Watch them, argue with them, or record your own.

Why is it called The uncomfortable gathering?

Because comfort keeps you stuck. Nothing changes if you stay in the same chair. This Gathering is designed to push gently against the edges of where you normally stop. It’s not about pain or pressure , it’s about honesty. Discomfort is where clarity, change, and courage actually start.

What’s the difference between £2222, £1111, and £777??

Same circle, same fire. The difference is how close you want to get.

Full Immersion is all (Excluding travel & transfers)

Two Day pass is the event and all the sessions , meals at easter Shian (excludes Edinburgh accommodation and 2* Michelin meal excluding accommodation travel & transfers)


Across all packages: 20 people total. That’s it

What’s included and whats not?

Is it transformational?

Ultimately you decide that. People call it transformational. We call it finally getting out of your own way. Call it what you want. We call it change that actually sticks. Transformation? If you mean life getting real, yeah. If you mean glittery slogans, nope.”
People call it transformational, life-changing, unforgettable. We don’t teach theory. We don’t hand you a workbook and wave goodbye. What happens here is lived, uncomfortable, and human.
You don’t leave with hype. You leave with something you can’t unknow, and a commitment you can’t dodge. That’s what sticks.

Who is the gathering for?

Leaders, creatives, founders. People tired of their own bullshit who want change that sticks If you’ve achieved on paper but feel blocked inside, this is for you. It’s not about titles, CVs, or networking. It’s about humans who want to live and lead differently and are willing to show up real.

Why only 20 people?

Because intimacy matters. This isn’t a crowd. It’s a circle.
We cap the Gathering at 20 total, across all packages. That limit keeps it personal, honest, and human. Once the circle is full, it’s full.
Across all packages: 20 people total. That’s it. Once its full its full.

Why no agenda?

It’s our home. We don’t hire a venue, we open our lives. The land, the house, the fire they’re part of the work. Easter Shian is our HQ in the Scottish Highlands, and it’s also where our own work, life, and story live. The space itself holds the Gathering. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s part of why the experience is unlike anything else
