The Beyond Coaching Experience

A Monthly Series with Dr. David Drake

Never Miss a BCE Session

2025 Focus: Deepen Your Maturity

Join David every month to explore one of the five keys!

When Was The Last Time You Slowed Down?

Now, more than ever, we need spaces to pause, relax, and open so that we can be present to what is present. The BCE sessions are there to support you: 

  • to address anything that is weighing on you
  • to help you regulate yourself and return to center
  • to offer you small restorative doses to take with you

Be With Us In The Moment

In The Beyond Coaching Experience (BCE) Sessions, we explore one topic each month through guided practices and deep conversations. 

Each one will strengthen you at your core so that you can step into an uncertain future with more compassion and courage. 

These experiences are thought-provoking and soul-enlivening. They offer space for deep dialogue, timely insights, and simple steps to take. 

Take time out of your busy week to join others in getting to the heart of what really matters as a practitioner in today’s world.

Take A Look At What’s In Store

The Beyond Coaching Experience is a year-long series. The sessions run from February through December, with free 60-minute sessions followed by paid 90-minute sessions for a deeper dive on Wednesdays at 3 PM ET. 

Our theme this year is on maturity. We will address five of the keys to help you grow as a human being so that you can help others to do the same. David will draw on his work with The Five Maturities to help you stay grounded and whole in a world that increasingly feels tense and uncertain.

The BCEs are great for practitioners who want to learn about our work — so invite a friend to join you! They are great for graduates as well to stay connected with each other and what makes this work special. We added the BCE Plus sessions this year for those who want to take a deeper dive. We look forward to seeing you there.

BCEs 2025 - How To Register

Have Questions?

I’ve attended the BCE in the past. Will this year’s sessions be different?
These are the same thought-provoking experiences you know and love! We have a new theme for this year in light of the publication of David’s Report on The Five Maturities and launch of the Guiding Lights Retreats. 

We’ve shortened the sessions to allow more of you to attend the full session. We are moving through the five keys twice to give you the opportunity to revisit issues from the new perspectives you’ve gained. We have added the BCE Plus sessions to integrate what opened up for you in the main BCE session on that topic.

Where will the sessions be hosted?
All BCE and BCE Plus sessions are hosted on Zoom. You will receive the link after you register and reminders just prior to the event.

Where do I register?
Inside our free Circle community. Here, you can view the full 2025 BCE calendar, RSVP to sessions, and add them to your calendar.

What can I expect to get from each session?
For over 5 years, BCE attendees have consistently said that they leave sessions feeling nourished and connected. They treasure the unique space that we create together that offers them a sense of sanctuary. They’ve been able to find respite, gain clarity, and feel solidarity with others on similar journeys of maturation and awakening.

Ready to Explore Beyond Coaching?

The BCEs are a cherished tradition of The Moment Institute and, given the current state of the world, we wanted to lean into them even more. They represent our commitment to explore what is beyond coaching and how we can develop ourselves to work in the spaces where our clients need us most. We can’t effectively travel there with them if we have not been there ourselves.
