The ARC Gathering
The ARC Gathering: Breaking Patterns
For Founders, Entrepreneurs & Rebels Shaping the Future of Their Industry
April 17–19, 2026 | The ARC, San Diego
From the Creator of Conscious Business Summit & Red Pill Experience
Jon Block has spent the last 15 years bringing leaders together who think differently. Not louder. Not more polished.
More honest. More aware. More willing to question what’s actually going on.
This is his next stand.
Who The ARC Gathering Is For
Founders. Entrepreneurs. Rebels.
From the outside, your life appears solid. But inside, you know you’re capable of far more.
You may be:
Leading a company or community
Advising clients at a high level
Building something meaningful already
Dedicated to making a real impact
Yet something is off.
You see right through your own industry:
The noise and overpromising
The performative authenticity
The copying and redundancy
Advice that sounds good but doesn’t hold up
Business models that work—but don't really serve clients
Conversations that avoid what’s actually happening
And now it’s harder to ignore.
Because you don’t want to build your next level like this.
What You’re Dealing With
There are patterns running your industry. Patterns that can quietly lock you into ways of operating you didn’t consciously choose.
Marketing designed to capture attention—not reflect reality
Sales processes that rely on pressure more than clarity
Growth strategies that scale revenue—but quietly erode trust
Incentives that reward short-term wins over long-term value
The hardest part is that a lot of it works.
Which creates a real tension:
Do you continue with what’s proven, or start building something better—without a clear blueprint?
Most people don’t stop long enough to examine this.
They stay busy. They stay in motion. They stay inside the system.
But not you.
What We’ve Created- An Unfiltered Forum
A haven where:
Conversations don’t stay on the surface
People say what they actually think
Ideas are challenged, not protected
A space to:
Look at your business and decisions clearly
Get perspective you cannot access on your own
Work through what’s actually next
So that:
You make better decisions that directly impact revenue and growth
Your business strengthens with its positioning, execution and results
You embody a higher level of leadership that expands your influence
You form partnerships and relationships that open incredible new doors of opportunity
What you’re building scales in a way that is authentically you
🧠 Who You’ll Be With
These are Founders, Entrepreneurs, and Rebels—like you.
People who have been shaping their industries for decades and are willing to challenge what’s no longer working.
You won’t just hear from them.
They stay for the entire experience— including meals, conversations, and the in-between moments where the real breakthroughs & magic happen.

🌿 The Environment Matters
At The ARC, the setting does part of the work.
This isn’t a hotel ballroom. It’s a private sanctuary designed for depth, clarity, and connection.
You’ll experience:
Red light therapy + infrared spa
Nature, stillness, and surrounding mountains
A space where conversations naturally go deeper
🍽️ Chef-Curated Experience created by Jennifer Carmel
The meals are:
Highly nutritious
Thoughtfully sourced
Elegantly prepared
Designed to:
Raise your energy
Support mental clarity
Open you up for deeper connection and conversation
Participants consistently share: they’ve never felt better—physically or mentally—during a live experience.

💰 Your Investment to Attend
Previous ARC retreats have ranged from $3,000–$5,000.
This one is priced the lowest we have ever offered.
Not because it’s less valuable. Not at all-
It's because we’re bringing together a very specific room of people— making it accessible for those who are ready now — so we can rise together over the long term.
⏳ Why Now
You can keep building within the same expected patterns of your industry.
Or— you examine:
how you’re operating
what you’re building
and where it’s all leading
Because if nothing changes— You'll just get more of the same. And those who dared to innovate will have THE clear advantage for decades to come.
❓ Have Questions
If you’re feeling the pull, and want to make sure this is the right room for you—reach out.
This is a curated experience. We’re happy to connect and answer anything that helps you decide with certainty.
