This event is an ‘add-on’ to David Whyte’s 2026 Asilomar weekend. Join us to learn more about Invitas, the Seven Elements of Conversational Leadership and how they can deepen any conversation in our collective lives.

Invitas is a project that David Whyte started in 2009 with several colleagues to restore the primacy of conversation in organizational life. Oriented around Seven Elements to deepen any conversation, this work is focused on leaders of all types who want to improve the depth and meaningfulness of discussions and dialogue.
In this session, Invitas faculty Michelle Latvala and Jonathan Gundlach will introduce the Seven Elements and work with the themes David has explored during the weekend. Through brief presentations, small and whole group conversation, we will explore and integrate the inspirational journey David has taken us on over the last few days to help us apply those insights directly into our lives and interactions with others. Join us to learn more about Invitas, the Seven Elements and how they can deepen any conversation in our collective lives.
