Architecture of Freedom

The architecture of freedom, a concept rooted in ancient wisdom and woven into the work of Montcalm TCR, refers to the structure you create in your life that empowers you to live without restriction. Creating this structure requires directing discipline, respect, and attention to the quantitative and qualitative aspects of your life in equal measure. In doing so, we believe you can construct an environment that allows you to thrive in any facet imaginable, including your relationships, personal well-being, business ventures, and finances.

This site is dedicated to offering you the transformative conferences, retreats, conversations, and events that can support you on your journey to becoming your greatest self.

Conscious Conversations

AND WHY THEY MATTER

A conscious conversation is one that is aware of everything that is surrounding us and brings it into the conversation. It is a conversation that has permission to break out of programming and explore all aspects of a topic. We believe that having conscious conversations around your wealth, finances, and business gives you permission to think differently and to thus expand and succeed in ways you thought weren’t even possible. We are dedicated to hosting these conversations and creating events that allow us to expand into the biggest and best version of ourselves and what we can create.
