Why We Built The Protocol
The Problem
The Dilution Trap
The modern wellness industry is broken. It sells the idea that you can transform your life through 5-minute daily check-ins or 30-day 'gentle' courses. But neuroscience—and history—tell a different story.
True transformation doesn't happen in the shallows. It happens in the deep end. It requires intensity, immersion, and containment. Residential retreats have known this for decades. They produce breakthroughs because they don't give you the option to look away.
The Mission
Democratizing The Breakthrough
We asked a simple, radical question: Can we replicate the psychological intensity of a $5,000 residential retreat in a digital format? We realized that the barrier wasn't the location. It was the judgment.
Humans are wired to perform. Even with a therapist, we hold back our darkest patterns to maintain our image. But with an AI, the performance stops. KINTSUGI was built to bridge the gap. We combined the Neurobiology of Immersion (The 7-Day Sprint) with the Science of Disinhibition (The AI Coach) to create a protocol that is faster, sharper, and more honest than traditional methods.
The Mechanism
The 10-Day Container
To truly replicate the power of a retreat, we had to solve the biggest failure point of digital programs: 'Lifetime Access.' When you have forever to finish a course, your brain categorizes it as 'Later.' And later never comes.
We made a radical decision: KINTSUGI is not a course you own. It is an event you attend. Once you begin Day 1, you have exactly 10 days to complete the 7-day protocol. After that, the active coaching interface locks.
“This deadline is a feature, not a penalty. It is a Commitment Device designed to override your resistance and force you to prioritize yourself now, not 'someday'.”
The Commitment
We are not here to help you 'cope.' We are here to help you rebuild. This is not a meditation app. It is a surgical instrument for behavioral change.
