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).
Understanding the Status Quo
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.
Separating facts from stories before trying to change them.
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.
Using sensory engagement to quiet the analytical mind.
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.
Removing the pressure to perform socially.
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.
Strategy often stays in the head; today we bring it into reality.
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.
Ensuring this works when the retreat ends.
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.
Leaving not just rested, but clear.
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.
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
A clear, repeatable arc: reflect → decide → integrate. Designed to create momentum you can keep.
Evidence-based building blocks
- Structured reflective writing — clear prompts reduce mental noise and surface priorities.
- Mental contrasting & IF–THEN planning — turn intentions into simple “when/then” actions.
- Silence & nature exposure — quiet settings support attention, perspective and emotion regulation.
- Small-group reflection — psychological safety; clarity grows when you articulate it.
- Micro-commitments — tiny steps/cues make change stick beyond the week.
Structure lowers noise. Simplicity raises follow-through.
How we built the program
-
Research & toolkit
Positive psychology & behavior-change methods adapted for a coaching (not therapy) context.
-
Co-design
Iterated with experienced facilitators; tuned to Đà Lạt’s rhythm, nature and pace.
-
Field-testing
Interviews & dry-runs to refine prompts, pacing, and the small-group flow.
-
Quality loop
Pre/post self-check + daily micro-feedback to adapt in real time.
PaperFrame•7 is a coaching-oriented retreat — not medical treatment or psychotherapy.
