What is Consitutive Diachrony?
Some stories begin with bold declarations, a splashy launch, or a five-year plan.
Ours began with a tent, two kids, and a cold night under the redwoods.
We were tired. Life didn’t look or feel the way we knew it could. So we paused, 4 nights, 5 days of silence, hikes, and stillness. And in that pause, something clicked. Our kids were happier. We felt more at peace. And in the quiet, the vision for Constitutive Diachrony came through.
Why "Constitutive Diachrony"?
The name itself means:
To create lasting change over time. That’s always been the heart of our work.
Originally founded as a business consulting company, Constitutive Diachrony was shaped by the leadership and systems thinking of our CEO, Jerry Wilkerson. With over 20 years of experience guiding organizations through transformation, Jerry brought a grounded, steady presence into every room, known for his ability to create calm in chaos and lead without ego.
But even the best strategies mean little without personal alignment.
So as our own inner work deepened, so did our mission.
We began transitioning from systems to souls.
From performance to presence.
From outward success to inward alignment.
What We Are Now
We are a personal growth consultancy for people who are ready to stop performing, start becoming, and live lives that reflect who they truly are.
Our clients are often high-capacity individuals at a crossroads. Exhausted, but not broken. Capable, but disconnected. Successful on the outside, but seeking more truth on the inside.
They come to us not for escape, but for inner revolution, the kind of transformation that begins within and ripples outward with quiet, lasting power.
Our Core Pillars:
We help people move forward through:
Clarity & Alignment: Getting clear on what matters, before adding more.
Sustainable Momentum: Building forward motion that lasts, without burnout.
Intentional Discipline: Showing up consistently in ways that reflect your values.
Deep Transformation: Creating shifts that become part of how you live and lead.
Our Vision: RESST Retreats
The Catskills, Sedona, Monterey, Joshua Tree, and the Redwoods — these places have helped us remember who we are. Nature has been our greatest teacher and guide.
Out of this, our RESST Retreats were born:
Resilience. Empowerment. Stillness. Silence. Transformation.
These retreats are designed to bring others outdoors — not to escape, but to reconnect. To get quiet enough to hear their own voice again. To witness the awe that exists when we slow down and return to what’s real.
RESST is not just a retreat. It’s a practice of coming home to yourself in the wild.
We help you build the inner strength to sit with silence, so when you're out in the stillness of nature, you don’t run from it, you’re ready to receive it.
What is the Inner Revolution?
“We do not change the world by shouting at its shadows.
We change it by illuminating our own interior.”
This is not about self-improvement for the sake of productivity. This is about self-liberation.
It’s about naming what no longer serves you.
Reclaiming what’s always been true.
And learning to lead in your life, relationships, and work, from a place of clarity, not conditioning.
If you’re here, reading this, you might already be feeling the pull.
You might already be in the ache, the space between chapters.
You’re not alone.
There’s nothing wrong with you.
You’re just waking up.
And when you're ready, we’re here to walk with you.
With care,
Ashley + Jerry
