From These Roots, We Forge the Future: The Strategic Sprint at Historic Rancho San Julián
One Day. Twelve Visionaries. A New Operating System for Leadership in the Age of AI and Unprecedented Change.
By application only • Curated cohort • Concierge shuttlehere.
In 1840, Don José de la Guerra y Noriega stewarded half a million acres with vision, honor, and care for all. In 2025, from his historic home, we gather 12 founding stewards to launch a global mission — to restore sacred agency and build a world worth inheriting.

The World is Moving Faster Than Leaders Can Adapt
Annual plans are obsolete before they’re approved.
AI rewrites the rules in months, not years.
Many are drifting. Few are leading.
You feel it — you know something greater is being asked of you.
The Land Calls Again
In the 1840s, Don José built not just a ranch, but a legacy — a living system of stewardship that nourished communities and anchored a young California.
Today, that same land calls to a new generation of stewards.
Leaders willing to balance ancient wisdom and modern mastery to guide humanity through an age of disruption.
"Consequential times call for leaders of consequence."
