Find Home. Be Yourself. Share The Journey
There's a difference between being around people and being known by them. The Avanti Community is where that changes — a free space built for people hungry for the kind of real relationships that make a life worth living.
WHAT’S THE POINT?
Most of us have “people”...
We have family, coworkers, neighbors, maybe a faith community or a friend group that goes back years. We're not isolated. Not by any outward measure. And yet…
There's a particular kind of loneliness that doesn't get talked about enough. It’s the loneliness of moving through your life without anyone who really gets what you're working on underneath the surface. The questions you're sitting with. The things you're trying to become. The slow, quiet gap between the life you're living and the one you sense is possible.
You can be surrounded by good people and still feel completely alone in that.
This space is our answer to that persistent problem. Not another social platform, not a program, not a network you join and mostly forget about.
An evolving community of people who refuse to let each other stay at the surface — because they know what it costs to do that, and they've decided it isn't worth it.
WHAT YOU’RE JOINING
Everything here is free — and all of it is designed around one conviction: that growth is better when it's shared.
Here’s what’s included when you join:
Community Events
Virtual and local gatherings organized by members, for members, happening all the time.
Life on Purpose
Our flagship book, yours free as a “welcome to the community” gift.
Interest Groups
Smaller spaces organized around what you care about, where conversation goes deeper and connections form around shared interests.
The Commons
A private, always-on community space to connect with Avanti members from around the world to share life authentically, and have fun doing it.
In practice, it looks like this
A home base that's actually alive. Not an algorithm, not a highlight reel, not a random content feed — a place to hang out where the real texture of a life on purpose gets shared. The wins, the hard seasons, the questions, the slow breakthroughs. With people who understand the journey you're on because they're on it too.
Groups organized around where you actually are. Stage of life, vocational questions, shared interests, specific things you're working through. If a group exists that fits, you can join it. If it doesn't exist yet, you might be exactly the person to start it, and we'll help you do that too.
Experiences that remind you why this matters. Virtual and in-person gatherings built around the conviction that the best things happen when people who share a common language actually get to show up together. Some are intimate and reflective. Some are celebratory. All of them exist because transformation is more than information… it's something that happens between people, in real time.
Local clusters that become the most unexpected thing: real friendship. People who found each other through this community and started gathering in their cities — for coffee, for conversation, for the kind of dinners that go long and the evenings you don't want to end. This part of what we're building is still young. But the people already in it will tell you it's become some of the most meaningful community in their lives.
THE SOCIAL CONTRACT
Most online communities ask nothing of you. You sign up, you get access, you show up or you don't, and the community becomes whatever it becomes.
This one works differently.
When you join, you say yes to a social contract that defines and protects the space for everyone. Not a set of rules, but active commitments that you make to every other member to make this a safe and welcoming community.
There are three main commitments at the center…
GROWTH
You're here because you're genuinely engaging your own growth — not perfectly, not without struggle, but directionally. You've decided that becoming more fully yourself is worth pursuing. The gift of this commitment is that you can assume the same of everyone else here. That shared posture is what makes real connection possible from the very beginning.
CARE
We relate to one another out of genuine curiosity and investment — not correction, not judgment, not the assumption that our job is to fix each other or bring each other into alignment with our convictions. The question that drives how we engage isn't “do we agree?” It's “how are you doing, and how can I support your journey?” This community includes people from across the spectrum of belief, background, and life experience. That diversity is a feature. The commitment to care is what makes it possible to hold it well.
CONTRIBUTION
Think of this community like a potluck. It becomes what it's meant to be only if everyone brings something. Not formal obligations — a posture. An orientation that asks “what can I bring?” rather than “what can I get?” Your specific perspective and experience are things only you can contribute. If everyone does that, this community becomes something extraordinary.

FAQs
-
It's a community first. We use Circle to stay connected across distance, but the technology is just the means — the goal is real engagement and genuine relationships with people around the world who are living out their own Life on Purpose journey. Think less "online forum" and more "your people, wherever they happen to live."
-
Yes — and it always will be. We believe connection and relationship shouldn't sit behind a paywall. Many community members also choose to go deeper through Thrive Lab or our workshops, and those are genuinely worth it — but they're always optional. Joining the community costs nothing, and that won't change.
-
As much or as little as you want. Some people pop in during a lunch break to read a conversation thread or share something they're processing. Others show up to virtual hangouts in the evenings or get involved in local events. There's no participation minimum — just an open door.
-
Community members come from every walk of life — different generations, backgrounds, cultures, and life stages. What connects everyone here isn't demographics; it's a shared commitment to living intentionally, discovering who they are, and stewarding that well alongside others. If those values resonate with you, you'll find your people here.
-
No. What you'll hear from us is announcements and updates about community events, new resources, and what's happening across the Avanti ecosystem — nothing more. We're not interested in your inbox as a marketing channel.
