Your Personal Development History

This section helps us understand where you are in your own work.

08What has brought you to consider this program at this point in your life? What is calling you here now?

09What is the specific change you are coming to make? Be as concrete as you can.

Example: I keep returning to the same patterns in relationships. I know what I need to do but cannot seem to do it consistently. Something in me is not yet resourced enough to hold the change.

Section 3 of 6

Readiness and Commitment

This is the most important section of the application. This program requires real commitment, not just to the immersion, but to the full twelve-week arc. The questions below are designed to help us understand whether this is the right time for you.

10This program runs for twelve weeks and includes group sessions (weekly in Attune, twice a month in Anchor), five one-to-one guardian calls (two in Attune, three in Anchor), a microdosing protocol, and an 8-day immersion in Costa Rica. Are you able to commit to the full arc?

Yes, I can commit to the full twelve-week programMostly, I have some constraints I would like to discussI am not sure yet

11What does your life look like right now in terms of capacity? Do you have the time, space, and support to fully engage with a twelve-week program?

Be honest. If this is a stretch, tell us. Timing matters, and we would rather help you find the right cohort than enroll you before you are ready.

12Follow-through takes accountability. If a guardian compassionately took a stand for you when you were holding back or avoiding something difficult, how would you receive that?

13Is there anything in your current life circumstances that might make it difficult to be fully present for this program over the next twelve weeks?

Examples: major life transitions, travel commitments, relationship instability, financial pressure, work demands. Share anything relevant.
