Six men. One weekly hour. A term you choose.

The pod

Why six.

Sixty minutes across six men gives each man ten. Across twelve it gives five, and in practice a twelve-man room produces four speakers and eight silent attendees. Six men produce fifteen possible relationships; twelve produce sixty-six, and a man can hold five real ones. Larger than six, a group fragments or collapses toward the facilitator, and you are back to a room with a guru in it.

Your pod chooses its own name, keeps its own record, and holds a private channel that persists after the term. Two pods form a Circle of Twelve, which carries a name, a shared lore, and a quarterly gathering.

Within forty-eight hours of joining you are paired with one brother, with one required contact a week that nobody facilitates. That is the cheapest and strongest mechanism we have for making sure your primary relationship here is with your brothers, not with the founder.

The week

What a week holds.

• One facilitated pod session, sixty minutes, same five men, same hour.
• One brother-pair contact, unfacilitated.
• Your daily protocol, ten to twenty minutes each morning, logged in the ledger.
• Morning Roll Call: your one thing for the day, visible to your pod and nobody else.

The ledger

There is no streak counter here, and there never will be.

A streak counter makes your worth contingent on an unbroken number, and it resets to zero on the exact day your biology dips. That is the instrument that turns a bad week into an identity collapse. We removed it.

The Practice Ledger logs practice performed, not days since. A day with a leak and a completed morning protocol is a practice day. It tracks the times you redirected the charge into practice, not the times you did not. It records behaviour without interpretation; interpretation happens in the pod. It is visible to your pod and to nobody else. There is no leaderboard, ever.

The flatline

Named in advance. Scored on practice alone. Witnessed by a man who survived it.

In session two you get the dates: roughly day twelve to day twenty-four, libido drops, mood flattens, receptors repair. A predicted difficulty arriving on schedule reads as the model being right, not as you being wrong.

Through the window the ledger records protocol completion only. We do not ask you to rate your energy in the week your energy is biologically low. You are paired with a member who has been through it, not with a coach. And at week three there is a session that pairs the biology with your map, because the flatline is also the moment your assumption gets its evidence.

Roles

A duty owed to named men, never a badge.

From day thirty every man holds a role in his pod: greeter, historian, flatline watch, pod steward, and eight others. Each is a job done for specific men, term-limited to two quarters, handed over visibly so that leaving a role is normal and not demotion. From day sixty you mentor one newer man, because a man who explains the practice to someone else has made it his own.

The term

Recommended. Chosen by you. Re-mapped at the midpoint.

We present the evidence and a recommendation. You choose the length. You can extend at the same rate at any point, and you can pause for one month with your seat held. At the midpoint you re-map, and whether the term extends is decided from what that finds, not from what anyone judged at intake.

Scope varies with the term, so that a longer term is fuller and not merely longer: a partnered man's term carries the relational repair track; a founder's term carries more direct access; a seeker's term carries the advanced doctrinal track. The pod is in every term without exception.

The rate

One weekly rate. Identical for every man.

$95 a week, for the term you choose. A twenty-four-week term is $2,280. Nobody pays more because he is in more pain, and nobody pays less because he negotiates. This is the founding-cohort rate. If it changes, the change and the reason are published here, with no countdown.

For comparison, stated because we would rather you check: a weekly online men's group with no diagnostic and no personal protocol runs about $100 a month; a four-month small-group container elsewhere runs about $600 a month; an hour of therapy about $150. We are not cheaper than the first. We are not claiming to replace the third.

Prices shown in US dollars. Billing in euros at the rate on the day.

The guarantee

We guarantee the method and our part in it.

Complete the diagnostic and make a good-faith attempt at the protocol for ninety days. If your baseline energy, focus and practice consistency have not measurably changed against your day-one map, we continue with you at no further cost until they do, or we return your money.

Good-faith attempt, not compliance logging. We will not make your refund depend on your own logging discipline. And measured against your day-one map, so it can be checked by both of us.

We do not guarantee the man. If you will not do the work, this is not for you, and we would rather say so now than take your money.

Who this is not for

A man who wants content: there is a library, and it is not this. A man who wants to be told his sign explains his failures: the Circle carries a name from the sky, and it names your Circle, never your character. A man who needs a clinician: we hold a boundary there and we will say so. A man who cannot leave: you can, at any point, and the exit is honourable.
