What's Happening on January 28th, 2026?

January 14th, 2025

JQ60 Voices is the premiere event of something entirely new.

A gathering where 60 voices from Las Vegas, Nevada come together in one room to demonstrate what’s possible when Joy Intelligence moves from concept to lived reality.

Networking Starts at 2:20 PM, PST.
3:30 PM. West Charleston Performing Arts Center.

Why 60 Voices Matter

This isn’t about one expert. One method. One story.

60 voices represent the full spectrum of human experience. Different ages, backgrounds, struggles, and triumphs.

The voices in the room come from everywhere. Survivors of mass violence. Wall Street executives. People who have faced addiction and recovery. Musicians and songwriters who have worked with legends like Gladys Knight. Founders of high-tech companies. Master networkers and sales leaders. A Miami Heat player. Athletes. Advocates for children. A celebrity chef. Emmy-nominated creatives. Violinists. Entrepreneurs who have exited companies and started again. Nonprofit directors. Advocates for Seniors, Veterans and Children. Grandmothers. And more.

Teachers, parents, leaders, seekers, healers, and creators. People who’ve learned to feel everything and still show up. Living proof that coherence is learnable.

When 60 people speak from a regulated place, something profound happens. They’re transmitting what matters. Letting their bodies lead their words, speaking from presence instead of defense.

“Wisdom you can recognize in yourself as you hear it echoed through others.”

Humans are wired to attune to each other. When someone speaks from coherence, the room feels steadier. People don’t just hear it. They experience it.

That’s the power of collective presence. That’s what makes transformation feel possible.

What We’re Learning Together – or Unlearning.

Here, we begin to unlearn what we’ve been taught about emotions and instead access and acknowledge what our life actually is: emotional, whether we like it or not.

The difference is learning we can take our emotions on the ride with us.

A life of joy is built on safety and presence. Joy Intelligence is the foundation we build on. Where we take accountability, accept and trust the fact that we can live fully human without letting our emotions hold us back, get in the way of solutions, or create more chaos.

This is a community where the more we gain coherence with ourselves and each other, the more solutions we can create.

What You’ll Experience

One afternoon. One room. 60 voices.

60 people showing what it looks like to navigate hard emotions without collapsing, lead from groundedness instead of depletion, find joy in the midst of everything, and build a life where feeling fully and functioning clearly go together.

A space where you don’t have to have it all together. A space where your nervous system remembers what coherence feels like.

Because once you feel it, everything shifts.

Who This Is For

This gathering is for anyone ready to stop pretending the old way is working.

If you’re holding others and running on empty. If you’re feeling everything and don’t know what to do with it. If you’re leading, teaching, parenting, or healing and need something real. If you’re tired of the noise and want to feel grounded again.

You belong here.

You’re ready to experience what’s possible when 60 people broadcast a different state.

This Is the Beginning

JQ60 Voices is the premiere of a movement showcasing JOY Intelligence in action. Joy Intelligence goes beyond emotional intelligence. JQ centers on inner regulation and awareness as the foundation for effective leadership and decision-making. This inner work is deeply personal and often postponed, largely because traditional emotional models divide experiences into good or bad, right or wrong, making them difficult to apply in real life. JQ brings this work forward into everyday moments, when pressure rises and things begin to spiral. This inner regulation directly shapes outcomes across relationships, organizations, and communities. When cultivated, JQ becomes a powerful driver of sustainable solutions at every level.


Joy Intelligence began as a coaching model. Now, with Dr. Ehsan Gharadjedaghi, Psy.D., Founder/Clinical Director of Norooz Clinic, and other therapists using different modalities, we’ve adapted JQ into Emotional Recognition-Based Therapy (ERBT) for clinical settings. ERBT is grounded in the patent-pending Valence Theory of Safety, Presence, and Joy. We’re conducting an empirical study to validate JQ’s findings and measure how recognizing our emotions creates a foundation for healing, health, and wellbeing in therapeutic practice.

What begins in Las Vegas won’t stay in Las Vegas.

This is the first of community gatherings that will spread across the USA. City by city, room by room, 60 voices at a time. Each event a living demonstration that coherence is contagious, transformation is possible, and Joy Intelligence can take root anywhere people are ready to stop performing and start feeling.

A movement where we stop asking people to be less human. Where feeling fully becomes the path to functioning clearly. Where Joy Intelligence becomes the foundation for healing, health, and wellbeing.

January 28th, 2026. 3:30 PM. West Charleston Performing Arts Center.

60 voices. One choice. $21.
