THE YEAR OF COURAGE

  • A 6-month post-Harvest Series online program, from June to December 2025, that supports you in integrating the inspiration, insights and connections from Harvest into your day-to-day life.

  • This isn't about casual connection. It’s a deliberate, structured process designed to turn insight into action. You’ll be supported by a trained facilitator, held accountable by a consistent group, and guided through a rhythm of reflection and commitment to the actions you want to take.

  • Pods sessions are where we do the work. They’re a live forum for exploring group members’ live challenges or decisions. 

    We navigate them using Courage X’s model of Courage (Fear, Noble Truth & Volition), leveraging the collective wisdom of the group’s personal experiences, know-how and sometimes even networks, to unlock these challenges. We set ourselves clear, tangible commitments to action.

    Each session follows a guiding framework that offers the freedom to explore what matters most, while providing safety through the shared agreements created by each Pod.

  • Each group is held by a highly skilled Courage X master facilitator, who ensures depth, structure, safety, and follow-through, guiding you throughout the six month journey.

  • We invite speakers from the Harvest Series and Courage X networks — change makers, thought leaders and inspirational figures — who embody courageous living and leadership.


    These 50-minute, off-the-record Zoom sessions are exclusively for The Year of Courage participants. They’re skillfully moderated to include both pre-submitted and live questions​ from participants.

  • Each month, you’ll receive a different exercise— a somatic practice, a visualization technique, a decision-making framework — to deepen your relationship with courage and help integrate what you're working on.

  • No. To minimize friction and maximize flexibility this program is fully digital.

Program Structure & Experience

  • All groups operate under a shared agreement of confidentiality, respect, and non-judgement. The master facilitators are trained, and the space is designed, to hold both professional and personal explorations with sensitivity, care and maturity.

  • While the majority of Courage X facilitators are ICF certified coaches and therapists, this program is not a substitute for therapy or professional coaching. It is complementary to the work done in those spaces.

  • You’ll have direct contact with your facilitator, and direct contact with The Year of Courage programme manager at all times.

Support & Safety

  • Only confirmed attendees of Harvest Kaplankaya 2025 and Harvest Alumni can apply. TYOC is intentionally limited to this group to preserve depth and shared context.

  • After applications close on May 25th, we carefully match participants based on their application responses, group availability, and time zones. We optimize for a valuable diversity of personal and professional perspectives as well as a common intention.

  • We can’t guarantee custom placements, but you can request to be grouped together with specific participants if you like. We’ll do our best to accommodate it.

Eligibility & Application

  • We have designed this programme to deliver the maximum return on time and energy invested. 

    To make the most of it we ask that you factor in roughly 4–5 hours per month:

    • 2 x 90-minute Pod sessions,

    • 1 x 50-minute AMA,

    • 1 x 30 minute guided exercise (shared via email and done in your own time),

    • 1 x 20 minute accountability call with your monthly accountability partner from The Year of Courage community.

  • You can choose from the following options. We’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

  • Sessions are not recorded for confidentiality. Regular presence is essential for your own experience and developing the trust, openness and depth required within each Pod. 

    Attendees who miss more than 20% of their Pod sessions may be asked to leave the program to preserve the integrity of the Pod and its process.

  • Please note: Your tribe meets ONCE every two weeks - either on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays.
