Determine: The Alignment Intensive

What are you not doing that you know you should be doing?

A 6-day Intensive for men on bringing the power of integrity, choice and ownership into their daily lives.

13–19 October 2026 · Near Innsbruck, Austria
What Is It

A field, not a seminar.

This is a 6-day Intensive with 2 guided sessions per day and supportive activities, all designed to help you examine and realign your choices and restore the parts of yourself where you have been weakening your integrity.

Over these 6 days our focus will be to step into the power and clarity of full living. Together we will strip away the distraction, procrastination and avoidance you have built around yourself and get you back in touch with what you actually know and what you actually want.

This work is important but we will keep it real, fun and graspable. Not heavy, not serious, not another seminar where you sit and consume. This Intensive is something you co-build with us.

You will leave with a refreshed and clear sense of yourself, a new way of seeing your own choices, and a genuine ability to guide your life from full ownership.

Why Does It Matter

Because many good men are quietly postponing their own lives.

Confusion, avoidance, overthinking, self-doubt and quiet justification are running the lives of many good and able men. Not because they lack ability or intelligence, but because these cycles are hard to see from the inside and even harder to break on your own.

The result is that many men keep postponing their own fulfillment, their personal power and their self respect. They know something is off. They just haven't had the right environment to actually do something about it.

Many men are also looking for a group that holds the standard of honesty, courage and integrity they want for themselves. A place where they don't have to shrink or perform but can actually show up and grow. That is what this Intensive is designed to be.

Our aim is for men to step fully into their natural capacity to know, choose and lead. And when a man stands in that, everything around him changes — his relationships, his work, his family and the world he contributes to. It starts with us. It starts with our choices. It starts with our alignment.

How Will It Work

Six days. The Austrian Alps. A wooden cottage.

We will spend 6 full days together in the Austrian Alps near Innsbruck, surrounded by a lake, mountains, forests, and a wooden cottage that will become our home for the week.

Each day includes 2 guided sessions and real group dialogue, but the week is not just a repeating schedule. It moves somewhere specific.

In the early days, you slow down enough to actually see the pattern you have been living inside of, the one you already sense but have never looked at directly. It shows up as saying yes when you mean no, staying busy so you do not have to decide, performing a steadiness you do not actually feel. What becomes clear is not just what you have been doing, but why: keeping the peace instead of saying the truth, staying occupied instead of facing what is actually in front of you, holding it together instead of admitting when you are not.

As the days go on, the sessions turn toward what that has cost you: a conversation you have been avoiding, a body you have stopped listening to, a relationship gone quiet instead of honest. You will name these things out loud, in front of other men doing this same work, and you will hear them name theirs, until the pattern stops being something private you carry and becomes something you have actually looked at, and something you get to choose differently now.

In the final days, the focus turns forward. You leave with a decision, the specific one you came in avoiding, and a clear sense of the man you are choosing to be instead, so that when the old pattern starts to pull again back home, you already know what you chose and why.

You leave with a decision, the specific one you came in avoiding.

One evening during the week is different. We step away from the sessions for Dine with Divine, a collaborative dinner led by Steven Johnson, a musician, chef, and founder of Table Talk Studios. Instead of sitting in conversation, we cook together, working with our hands and listening to each other in a different rhythm than the rest of the week. It is a lighter evening, though not a lesser one. The same presence you bring to the sessions carries into the kitchen and the table, and by the end of the night you will have made something real together, and shared it.

Six days creates real clarity. Life at home has a way of quietly pulling at it. That is why on November 18th, 30 days after the Intensive, we come back together for a group follow-up call: a chance to revisit your alignment plan, name where you have already started to drift, and recommit before the momentum fades. This is included for every man who attends.

For You

Is this you?

  • 01

    Life looks good from the outside but feels flat from the inside.

  • 02

    You sense you are operating below your actual capacity.

  • 03

    You have been shrinking a little, settling a little, going along rather than truly going for it.

  • 04

    You find it hard to point to one thing that genuinely excites you.

  • 05

    You haven't found a group of men with the same standard and hunger for a full life.

  • 06

    You think about making changes but don't know where to start.

  • 07

    You are ready for more purpose and responsibility but can't quite access it yet.

If you are reading this and something in you is saying yes, that is enough. This is for you.

One Principle

There is one principle at the heart of this work.

Your life comes together perfectly when you are being and doing what you know you should be. Most difficulty comes from the distance between what you know and how you are actually living.

Closing that distance is the work. Connecting with this and living it in your daily life is what we want every man to leave with.

If that speaks to you, we would like you to be there.

Who Is Leading This

We're just two men who have been where you are.

We spent years searching for answers while dealing with the same real-world stuff you face: low confidence, money stress, and that flat feeling of being stuck. We eventually realized that life only starts working when you stop pretending and start living honestly.

That clarity changed everything — in how we lead ourselves, our relationships, and our work. Mark is raising his son inside these principles. Denis is preparing to do the same.

Portrait of Denis

Denis

Co-facilitator

Denis has spent his career in sports and team coaching, environments where the gap between what a man is capable of and what he's actually doing is impossible to hide. He has a particular gift for naming what others politely avoid, and doing it in a way that opens things up rather than shuts them down.

Mark

Co-facilitator

Mark has spent years working inside intensive personal development environments, seeing people in their most honest moments. He understands the difference between insight that lands and insight that fades, and how to make the former stick.

Why We Work Together

Denis works from the outside in: he sees the pattern in your behavior before you do. Mark works from the inside out: he helps you see what's underneath it. Together, the work doesn't let you hide, not in action, and not in feeling. Most men find that combination unusually difficult to dodge, and unusually freeing once they stop trying.
