"For the last 10 years, I have taught students at Harvard how to become more authentic individuals through self-awareness and self-acceptance. Kindred Minds seems to have been able to capture this essence and open it up to the world."
Scott Snook
Professor, Harvard University

Live with greater intention and clarity.

Many of us want to live a life that's aligned with who we really are, but life gets in the way. We get busy, add new priorities, get tired, and ultimately lose control of our time.

Kindred Minds is an expert-developed membership that helps you retake control of your life and live with greater alignment. We offer a structured space to reflect, slow down, and prioritize what's important to you.

Reflection Sneak Peek

Our expert-developed membership incorporates tried-and-tested frameworks, best practices, and rigorous reflections to ensure members get the most out of their membership. See below for a sneak peek of the exercises and frameworks for some of our onboarding reflections.

Example Reflection: The Wheel of Life

down_arrow
  • Framework explanation: The Wheel of Life is a powerful tool for personal growth and development. It helps you to identify areas of your life that need attention and to create a plan for achieving balance and fulfillment. It is a visual representation of the different aspects of your life, such as career, relationships, health, and finances. By assessing each area and setting goals, you can create a roadmap for success. The Wheel of Life is a great way to gain clarity and focus on what matters most to you.
  • Reflection explanation: Every 3 months, we ask members to complete The Wheel of Life, which includes reflecting on where they are today and where they'd like to be 3 months from now. They are theninvited to review how the last 3 months went and what area(s) of their life they'd like to focus on for the next 3 months through a set of targeted questions.

Example Reflection: Enneagram typing

down_arrow
  • Framework explanation: The Enneagram is a powerful tool for personal and professional development. The Enneagram is one of the most well respected personality assessments. It is a system of nine distinct personality types that can help members understand themselves and others better. By understanding the motivations and behaviors of each type, members can gain insight into how to best interact with others and how to develop themselves.
  • Reflection explanation: Enneagram typing can be notoriously inaccurate. We have worked with coaches to help members accurately type themselves through a multi-faceted approach. After typing, members are invited to reflect on what comes up for them as they process the Enneagram results.

Example Reflection: smart goal setting

down_arrow
  • Framework explanation: We use the SMART goal framework to help members set and achieve objectives. By setting SMART Goals, members can create a clear roadmap to success and translate increased self-awareness into specific changes in their day-to-day life.
  • Reflection explanation: In this reflection, members are invited to reflect on moments of their lives when they have and haven't achieved their goals. They are invited to notice patterns and integrate these with the SMART framework to help them maximize their chances of achieving their goals in the future.

Deepen your meditation practice

Self awareness and intention are the cornerstones to living our best lives. And meditation is a powerful tool for us to understand who we really are. In addition to an optional daily meditation schedule, we use a social habit tracker outside of our weekly sessions to help keep you accountable.

how it works

The Sangha Experience

Over time, we have learned how to create space that enables meaningful connection and a deeper look at ourselves. Our weekly sessions, structured curriculum, and meditation tools serve as the bedrock of the Sangha experience.

Weekly sessions to go deeper

down_arrow

The key component of the Sangha experience is the 1.5 hour weekly check-in. What makes Sangha unique is a determined focus on intimacy and commitment. Every week, you see the same small group of people every week, enabling deeper, more meaningful connection.

Structured curriculum that makes it simpler

down_arrow

Each Sangha program is inspired by a time-old framework that serves as a base point for us to delve deeper. For instance, we may explore our life through the lens of the Hero's Journey Framework. Or we may use Buddhism's Noble Eightfold Path to better understand our path.

Meditation tools to help further your practice

down_arrow

Every morning, you will receive a daily meditation from one of the world's leading meditation instructors including Tara Brach, David Ji, and others. In addition to this, we will track our daily practice and progress using a social habit tracker app to help you build, or deepen, your practice.

The Noble Eightfold Path, one of the frameworks we use at Sangha.

FAQ

What is Kindred Minds?

down_arrow

Kindred Minds is a monthly membership for a highly-structured and more affordable approach to life coaching. Our program helps you build deeper self-awareness, regularly pause and reflect on your life, and equip you with frameworks and accountability to become a better version of yourself. 

We use frameworks like Wheel of Life, Reflected Best Self ExerciseTM, Eulogy Exercise, and The Enneagram, among others, to deepen your self-awareness, identify areas you want to nurture in life, and provide tactical structures and frameworks to achieve your goals.

How is Kindred minds different than traditional 1:1 coaching?

down_arrow

Kindred Minds takes a new approach to traditional coaching, integrating expertise through asynchronous content & exercises. Instead of live sessions with a coach, you are invited to complete expert-developed reflections that inspire deeper self-awareness and changes in your day-to-day life.

Tactically, our reflections are more structured than traditional coaching sessions. Each reflection will cover a particular topic and framework that our expert coaches have designed. The topics are broad enough to be applicable to everyone, yet crisp and structured enough that you'll walk away from each session with new, applicable insights.

Finally, we are more affordable than traditional 1:1 coaching, which often runs $150-$200 per hour.

Is this a replacement for therapy? 

down_arrow

Kindred Minds is not a replacement for clinical therapy or a substitute for professional treatment. However, many of our members have found that our programs have helped them manage their mental health. 

We like to think of ourselves as group fitness for mental health. You typically go to a fitness class to build strength, resilience, and endurance for whatever physical challenges life throws your way. In a similar way, Kindred Minds helps you build emotional and mental muscles that will help you live a  grounded, resilient life. 

How much does the membership cost? What does it include?

down_arrow

The membership costs $19.99/month with a 7-day free trial. This includes access to all of our expert-developed exercises and recurring reflections that are sent to your inbox every two weeks.

What happens if I Join and find this program isn't for me?

down_arrow

No worries! If this program isn't for you, we'd much rather you be able to invest your time & money into something that serves you best. You can cancel your membership within the 7-day trial period or anytime after through our membership portal.
