The Rock Circle
The Rock Circle is an exclusive association inspired by the extraordinary mentorship of Susan and David Rockefeller. Fondly known as “Rocks,” Susan and David have dedicated their lives to championing vital global causes - from ocean conservation to art, culture, and sustainability - all while nurturing the next generation of changemakers.
Their guiding mantra, “Protect What is Precious,” has not only shaped The Sapphire Project but has also influenced countless initiatives across industries, creating a ripple effect of impact. The Rock Circle continues this legacy, uniting visionary young leaders and immersing them in transformative experiences that foster lifelong connections and purpose-driven leadership.
Our Mission
The Rock Circle is more than a network - it is a movement. We are dedicated to cultivating transformative experiences for emerging next-gen leaders in their 20s and 30s, bringing together a curated group of exceptional individuals who share a deep commitment to impact, innovation, and purpose.
Through highly curated trips and intimate gatherings, members gain access to immersive learning, meaningful mentorship, and unparalleled opportunities to engage directly with a distinguished network of visionaries, thought leaders, and changemakers.
This is a community built on shared values, deep trust, and a relentless pursuit of positive change - where the next generation is empowered not just to succeed, but to lead with impact.
