Virtual Fireside Chat - Hollyhock CEO Katia Sol in Conversation with Robert Gass
With Katia Sol and Robert Gass
April 15, 2026
Join us for an intimate, fireside-style online gathering with Hollyhock’s CEO, Katia Sol, in conversation with longtime community member, presenter, and founder of the Art of Leadership, Robert Gass.
In this special dialogue, Katia will share her evolving vision for Hollyhock as a bioregional, regenerative center for living leadership—a place where we don’t just teach leadership, but live and breathe the inner and outer skills most needed at this time on the planet. Rooted in land, community, and purpose, Hollyhock is becoming a place where people come not only to learn, but to experience what it means to practice belonging, service, and connection in real time.
Together, Katia and Robert will explore how this vision is taking shape: from cultivating a clearer point of view on the skills we are here to grow, to co-creating a more intentional, place-based curriculum that is of this land, of this community. They’ll reflect on what it means to honour Hollyhock’s legacy while stepping into a future grounded in wild beauty, deep connection, and a renewed sense of purpose and service.
Gather with us around the virtual fire to listen, reflect, and connect—anchored in the question at the heart of Hollyhock’s path forward:
What does it mean to become humans who are truly in service to a living and loving planet for all?
The event will be recorded. Everyone who registers will receive a link to the recording!
NB: This event is a follow-up to the Fireside Chat with Katia Sol and Kim Haxton that took place in December 2025, during which Katia shared the story of how she came to be at Hollyhock. In case you missed it, you can watch that talk at this link.
