About Us

Leonardo Radomile

Leonardo Radomile is a lifelong educator, civic leader, and values-driven thinker dedicated to helping individuals live fuller, more meaningful lives. His path began at the University of Chicago and continued through Harvard University, where he lectured at the Center for Public Leadership and taught at the Kennedy School’s co-curricular program, focusing on effective social engagement. He is also the co-author of the Harvard Guide on Social Entrepreneurship and a three-time recipient of prestigious teaching awards—including the Harvard Club’s honor for civic leadership and impact.

But Leonardo’s work extends far beyond the classroom. For decades, he has worked with grassroots community organizations, church groups, corporations, and political organizations—large and small. Across all these experiences, one theme has remained constant: the belief that strong, values-based personal development and a vibrant community are essential for a meaningful life.

Leonardo founded The Gathering to respond to a growing crisis of disconnection, confusion, and despair. In a time where traditional institutions have lost their way and digital interactions replace real connection, he recognized the need for a return to core values—the kind that give life direction, purpose, and joy. His vision for The Gathering is rooted in faith, informed by scholarship, and driven by a deep love for people and their potential to grow, lead, and heal.

Our Mission

To help individuals build meaningful lives through faith, values-based education, and in-person community—so they can live with purpose, build real relationships, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.

Our Vision

A renewed society anchored in the timeless wisdom of the Judeo-Christian tradition—where people live with intention, families are restored, and communities thrive through mutual support, responsibility, and truth.

Why The Gathering?

We live in a time of incredible technological progress—and deep spiritual confusion. As personal interaction gives way to digital noise, many feel alone, anxious, and unmoored. The collapse of traditional community and family structures, combined with the erosion of shared values, has created a cultural crisis.

But there is a path forward.

At The Gathering, we believe that the timeless principles of the Bible, supported by breakthroughs in psychology and neuroscience, can lead to lives that are whole, connected, and impactful. Through open conversations, personal reflection, and shared commitment, we offer a space to heal, grow, and live meaningfully again.
