Frequently asked questions

Why does the program last four months?

The program aims at delivering a discipline in real life. It takes time to try and absorb it during everyday commitments, so we decided that the most suitable time frame is four months. 

What is a Dopamine Detox week?

It is a week where you will committ to reducing certain behaviours that you recognize as a little bit addictive and could prevent you from maintaining a good balance with yourself. This is a decision that we will discuss in an individual session in month 2, that you will take upon our suggestion. It could have to do with phone usage, certain aspects of nutrition,drinking and similar, without being too invasive. Again, the objective here is for you to realize the difference between those weeks and the "usual" weeks.

What do I have to answer on the weekly questionnaire?

In the weekly questionnaire, designed to imprint a habit of mindfulness and awareness during everyday life, we will ask you to register your main sensations, emotions and situations during the past week.

How does the meditation session look like?

This session is online and duly reminded through calendar invites. It is a 30 mins session where we will guide you towards a calm observation of your breath and body sensations. No camera activation is needed on your side, nor speaking. It is a group session so you could see several others joining.

What is going on in the forum?

The forum is not a mandatory part in the program except for "The Challenge Essay"(see next question), but of course it's highly recommended as we strive to create a safe and deep space where all of us can confront on the challenges of personal growth. Of course it's moderated so to avoid negative interactions.

What is a Challenge Essay?

This essay is requested in the program in month 3, and requires you to write a 2000 characters long text containing a story of the most challenging aspect of your personal growth. It's anonymous and can have to do with anything you feel it's most suitable for you to share with others to both speak it out and understand others' opinion about it. 

What is a "Focus Manifesto"?

This is a personal manifesto that you will share only with the staff, encouraging you to realize important aspects of your life that require change, eliminations and focus. For example, this might apply to changing social environments, people, eliminating habits and focusing on passions.
