The Inner Circle
A message from Bradley Hall — video coming soon.
The Inner Circle
A private membership for people who want to go beyond reading about these ideas and start working with them.
$26/month or $286/year. 24 of 26 founding spots remain, open through December 31, 2026, or until they’re gone. After founding closes, monthly membership will be $39, and the $26 rate will not be offered again.
This is not the free community. Examined Living stays free. The Inner Circle is the paid membership inside it: courses, guided practice, private gatherings, and direct work with Bradley.

Founding membership
Only 26 founding spots; 24 of 26 remain. Founding membership closes on December 31, 2026, or when the 26 spots are gone, whichever comes first. After that, monthly membership will be $39, and the $26 founding rate will not be offered again. Founding members who join now keep $26 a month, or $286 a year, for as long as their membership stays active.
Pay annually at $286 and save $26 versus $26 a month — twelve months for the price of eleven. Compared with the $39 monthly rate, that’s $182 a year, about 39% off. Annual members also receive a copy of The NPE Experience when it’s released (January 27, 2027).
Only ten places will be offeredLifetime Founding Patron
There is no monthly fee, ever.
This is not a subscription. For a single founding investment, you receive Inner Circle access for life, every current and future course, and a place among only ten Founding Patrons.
A personalized Founding Patron welcome collection is mailed to you.

Before you join
Can I join Examined Living without paying?
Yes. The wider Examined Living community is free to join, and your free guide, Why You Feel Stuck, comes with it. The Inner Circle is the paid membership that holds Bradley's courses, guided practices, private resources, live gatherings, and bonus content. This page is for The Inner Circle, not the free community.
What is included in The Inner Circle?
Every current and future Academy for Integrative Health course while your membership is active, including several more courses planned throughout 2027, guided meditations, the member resource library, private conversations, Inner Circle Live gatherings and recordings, Backstage Pass content from The Bradley Hall Show, and direct access to Bradley in the threads and at live gatherings.
What is the difference between monthly and annual membership?
Both give the same Inner Circle access. Monthly is $26 per month at the founding rate, $39 after founding membership closes. Pay annually at $286 and save $26 versus $26 a month — twelve months for the price of eleven. Compared with the $39 monthly rate, that’s $182 a year, about 39% off. Annual members also receive a copy of The NPE Experience when it's released (January 27, 2027).
What is the founding rate?
Only 26 founding spots are available, and 24 of 26 remain. Founding membership closes on December 31, 2026, or when the 26 spots are gone, whichever comes first. After that, monthly membership will be $39, and the $26 founding rate will not be offered again. Founding members who join now keep $26 a month, or $286 a year, for as long as their membership stays active.
Can I cancel my Inner Circle membership?
Yes. You can cancel a monthly or annual subscription any time from your account. Monthly access continues to the end of the current billing month. Annual access continues to the end of the year you've paid for. There are no partial refunds.
What makes the Lifetime Founding Patron option different?
Lifetime Founding Patrons receive permanent Inner Circle access, every current and future Academy course, a personalized Founding Patron welcome collection, signed copies of Bradley's books including The NPE Experience on release and future qualifying titles, numbered Founding Patron recognition, an invitation to the annual Founding Patrons Roundtable, a Lifetime Patron community tag, quarterly group Q&A coming in 2027 (Thu Feb 11, May 13, Aug 12, and Nov 11, 2027, 7:00–8:00 p.m. ET), and an annual 30-minute 1:1 they can schedule themselves, with the booking calendar available January 1, 2027. $697 once. There is no monthly fee, ever. Only ten places will be offered.
Where does the community live?
Examined Living is hosted on Circle, where you can reach conversations, Academy courses, resources, events, and your member profile from one account. The Academy for Integrative Health has moved inside the community, so there's nothing separate to log into.
Do I need an existing Circle account?
No. Circle walks you through creating an account when you join or purchase a membership.
About Bradley
Bradley Hall is a speaker, author, educator, and trauma recovery coach, and the creator of the Hall Human Development System. His work looks at how experience shapes identity, and how awareness helps people take a more conscious part in who they become next.
He has been coaching since 1987, first with athletes and later in life coaching and trauma recovery. His first identity collapse, a very public one in 2005, set him on this journey. Then, in 2018, a DNA test showed him that the man on his birth certificate was not his biological father, and the work became even more personal. Examined Living brings it all together in one place: courses, podcast conversations, guided practices, and a live community.
Credentials: CTRC-S trauma recovery coach and IAOTRC faculty and approved supervisor • M.A. in Depth Psychology, Pacifica Graduate Institute • Retired firefighter • Navy veteran • President of the Board, NPE Network • Creator of NPE Awareness Month and the NPE Virtual Summits • Author of Being Blessed Is a Choice, The Personal Power Playbook, and the upcoming The NPE Experience (January 2027)
