VALDEN.Circle Networks LIVE 2026

Hello, I’m

Sean Hegarty

Founder & Steward of VALDEN

Author of The Sean Method

These days, my work is about one thing, helping people to close the gap between what they believe and how they live.

I can finally tell you what I have been building

I have been saying for a while that I am trying to help people become more values-driven.

That was true.

It was also me trying to explain something I was still building and was not quite ready to name publicly.

I can name it now.

VALDEN.

VALDEN is a values-driven way of life built on character, responsibility, community and service.

It brings together work that may previously have looked separate. The Sean Method, PRIME-ACT®, FIRE-UP™ and some of the community work that has shaped my thinking — even Hegarty House.

They keep returning to the same belief.

Values should become visible somewhere.

They should affect how we behave, the choices we make, the way we treat people and what we are prepared to take responsibility for.

Circle Networks LIVE 2026 is where I am sharing VALDEN publicly for the first time.

I do not think that means arriving with every answer neatly finished. It means being honest about what I am building, opening the gateway and inviting the right people into what happens next.

The Valden Network will be that gateway.

It is being built as a development environment for values-driven people who want to grow, contribute and serve—not simply as another place to hold a membership.

There is more to explain.

For now, the thought below is probably the best place to begin.

A useful place to begin

Something I keep coming back to

What matters to me that has become difficult to find in the way I am living?

The approved five-minute reflection will sit here in the complete page.

Read The Sean Method

The Sean Method is where I put this work into a form people can use.

It starts with the life you already have and helps you notice where what matters to you has stopped showing up in it.

Then it helps you decide what to do next.

The Valden Network

The Valden Network is the gateway into the wider VALDEN ecosystem.

It is a community of values-driven people committed to growth, contribution and service.

I am not trying to build another place where people simply collect contacts or consume more content.

I want it to become somewhere good conversations can continue. Somewhere relationships can grow. Somewhere what we believe has a chance to become more visible in how we actually live.

Be part of what comes next

VALDEN already has foundations.

The Sean Method, PRIME-ACT® and FIRE-UP™ have each helped me explore the same underlying question from different angles:

What happens when the things we say matter to us become more visible in the way we actually live?

This is not the beginning of the work.

It is the first time I am putting the VALDEN name above the door.

And I am still building it.

The Valden Network is where I want the next part of that work to begin — with people who care about their own growth, but also about what they contribute and how they serve.

If that feels relevant to you, you are welcome to join us.
