A place that does work of its own.
The summits are hosted at The Thyme, a private estate on 85 acres in the Berkshire hills of Sheffield, Massachusetts. The setting is not a backdrop. It is a working part of the format, removed enough from daily pace that people think more clearly, speak more openly, and stay at the table longer.

Rooms, paths, and quiet corners.
10 buildings spread out over the property including a dining room, sound temple, spa cottage, yoga center, and lodging. Sessions happen in some of these spaces. The conversations that matter most tend to happen in the rest.
The most consequential conversations in science and medicine need more than a meeting room. They need trust, time, and an environment that lets people step outside institutional roles and into shared purpose. That is what this place is for.
The estate is roughly two and a half hours by car from both New York City and Boston. Full travel and arrival details, including the address, transfers, and recommended routes, are shared with confirmed participants.
The setting is part of the format.
