[PHASE 1]

Preparation

Change starts before you pack a bag. Decades of behavior-change research point to the same quiet truth: people who name what they want — specifically, in writing, ahead of time — are far more likely to get there.

So your experience begins the moment you book. You take a research-grade assessment of how you’re actually doing: your energy, your sleep, your relationships, your sense of meaning. Then, on a short call with us, you set one clear intention for the week. Not a resolution. Not a list. One true sentence about what you want to be different.

By the time you drive through the gate at Santerra, the ground has already been prepared — on purpose.

[PHASE 2]

Immersion

Here’s the thing about habits: they’re glued to places. The kitchen where you snack. The desk where you scroll. The nightstand where the phone sleeps closer to you than anyone else. Researchers call these cues, and the fastest way to loosen an old pattern is to step away from every cue that keeps it running.

Five nights on three hundred and twenty quiet acres does exactly that. The days fill with the long table, the trails, the gardens, an evening at the fire as the sun goes down — and real rest, the kind most people haven’t had in years.

And you do the deep work in a small cohort, because hard things are easier when the people beside you are doing them too.

[PHASE 3]

Reinforcement

Here’s a number most brochures leave out: on average, a new habit takes about sixty-six days to feel automatic. Some take longer. Which means the drive home — the moment most programs end — is exactly where the real work starts.

So for ninety days after your week at Santerra, we stay with you: a monthly group coaching session, one small practice each week, and a cohort that already knows your story. Learning science calls this spacing — small doses, repeated over time, hold far better than one big dose ever does.

At day ninety, we measure again. So whatever changed isn’t just a feeling you’re trying to remember. It’s on paper.

[001]

Monthly calls

Once a month, the whole cohort gathers on a video call with Jared and Annette. We revisit the intention you set, celebrate what’s holding, and troubleshoot what isn’t.

[002]

Weekly practices

One small practice arrives each week. Never homework — always something that fits inside a real life. Ten minutes, most weeks. The point isn’t effort; it’s rhythm.

[003]

The re-measure

At day ninety, you take the flourishing assessment again — and if you wear a Whoop, Oura, or Apple Watch, we pull those numbers too. Whatever changed becomes something you can see, not just something you hope you still feel.

[004]

The community

The twenty-three people who sat at the table with you don’t disappear at checkout. The cohort stays connected through the ninety days — and at day ninety, the door to the Santerra Circle opens.
