The Journey

Each day is designed with intention;
a structured process for reflection, clarity, and realignment.

The Week at a Glance

A 7-day psychology-based arc:
Stabilize → Deep Dive → Test Decisions → Build Your Plan

From Noise to Direction

A 7-day program designed to alternate between Cognitive Strategy ("Head") and Sensory Grounding ("Body"). You leave not just with a plan, but with the energy to execute it.

  • The Mind: Builds the strategy (Maps, Scenarios, Plans).
  • The Nervous System: Restores capacity (Nature, Cognitive Rest, Making).

Day 1: Foundations & Flow

Goal: Switch off "Work Mode"

Understanding the Status Quo

Arrival in Dalat

We bypass standard pitches. We use 'Gear 1: Fast Writing' to clear mental noise, then anchor the group rhythm with a restorative 'Grounding Bowl' dinner.

This evening is about landing, establishing psychological safety, and setting the container for honest work.

The Science Rooted in Dual Process Theory and the Zeigarnik Effect. We use "Cognitive Offloading" to clear mental RAM, stopping the brain from looping on unfinished tasks so strategic thinking becomes possible.

Day 2: Exploration & Perspective

Goal: Understand your Operating System

Understanding the Status Quo

Workshop Session

A logic-based workshop uses the PaperFrame Map to separate 'Facts' from 'Stories.' This helps identify exactly where you are stuck.

The afternoon offers space to incubate your 'Binary Choice' (Stay vs. Go) before we start building scenarios.

The Science Rooted in Somatic Intelligence and Cognitive Reframing (CBT). We train "Interoception" to access physical stress data, then use "Affect Labeling" to diminish the amygdala response and separate facts from emotional narratives.

Day 3: Strategy & Senses

Goal: Move from insight to strategy

Understanding the Status Quo

Farm to Table

A Farm-to-Table journey quiets the mind through sensory grounding.

We then run the 'Three Horizons' simulation (Optimize, Shift, Reset) to test which future truly aligns with your goals. We end with deep silence to regulate the nervous system.

The Science Rooted in Embodied Cognition and Affective Forecasting. Manual tasks break cognitive rigidity, while the "Pre-Mortem" technique neutralizes optimism bias, allowing you to stress-test your strategy before execution.

Day 4: The Silent Reset

Goal: A deep "defrag" for your brain

Resetting & Building the Future

Silent Forest Walk

A full day held in 'The Silent Reset' to remove social pressure. We use nature to consolidate memory.

The day ends with a guided writing session to harvest your insights, ensuring you capture clarity without the noise of conversation.

The Science Rooted in Attention Restoration Theory (ART) and Interoception. Silence and nature exposure replenish "directed attention" fuel, while self-guided practice retrains your internal locus of control.

Day 5: Prototyping & Connection

Goal: Make internal shifts tangible

Resetting & Building the Future

Creative Workshop

Strategy becomes reality in the Physical Anchor workshop, where you build an object representing your direction.

Later, Peer Coaching Pods let you test your insights safely. We close with a Fireside Gathering to decompress.

The Science Rooted in Material Engagement Theory and Cognitive Closure. Building a physical prototype utilizes "Constructionism" to create a tangible retrieval cue, preventing the strategic drift that happens when you return home.

Day 6: Integration & The Plan

Goal: Ensure this works on Monday

Resetting & Building the Future

Planning Session

We turn insights into structure. You design specific defense protocols to protect your new operating system.

A Gallery Walk ratifies these contracts before the celebration dinner, ensuring you are operationally ready for the return.

The Science Rooted in Via Negativa (Subtraction) and Implementation Intentions. We apply the "Law of Displacement" to remove friction first, then use pre-programmed "If-Then" rules to automate your boundaries against stress.

Day 7: Departure & Clarity

Goal: A clear transition back

Resetting & Building the Future

Departure

You write a Future Self Letter to anchor direction. We equip you with the 'Sunday Check-In' protocol to ensure your clarity survives the return home.

Departure.

The Science Rooted in Future Self-Continuity and The Ulysses Pact. The letter acts as a pre-commitment device from your "Rational Self" to your "Stressed Self," overriding the environmental triggers that cause old habits to return.

Your Personal Workbook

  • Aligned with the 7-day arc (Arrive → Explore → Clarify).
  • Includes the "Future-Self Letter" to be read 1–3 months later.
  • Contains the 4-Week "Sunday Reset" Pilot to track your habits during the first month back.

Privacy & Boundaries

  • Sharing is always optional.
  • Small group (max 10).
  • Private reflection prioritized.

How it works

Strategy-First Neuro-somatic Structured • non-therapeutic

A precision-engineered system.
Combining strategy, neuro-biology, and psychology to force a breakthrough.

The Operating System
01

Strategic Frameworks

Built on "The Three Horizons" to move you from emotional loops to strategic choices.

02

Neuro-Somatic Design

Calibrated to Đà Lạt’s climate. We use "Dopamine Withdrawal" to reset your hardware.

03

Engineered Safety

Facilitated using "The Vault" protocols. Unbiased reflection in a protected container.

04

Integration Architecture

We work backward from your return. The "Monday Protocol" ensures clarity survives the flight.

Supported By
Rapid Journaling

Specific prompts to separate "Facts vs. Stories" and reduce mental noise.

Simulation Mapping

Testing "The Three Horizons" to validate your next move before you make it.

Dopamine Withdrawal

Deep silence and nature exposure to regulate the nervous system.

The Vault & Mirroring

A psychological safety protocol where peers reflect, but do not fix.

Defense Scripting

Turning boundaries into specific "If-Then" protocols to protect your focus.

Strategic Subtraction

A structured audit ("The Stop-Doing List") to remove friction before adding goals.
