The Programme
Five Days. One Question.
Everything Changes.
No two Ridge Intensives are the same. The programme responds to the people in the room — their history, their presenting patterns, what emerges in the first twenty four hours. What you will find below is the architecture. The specifics are built around you.
The work happens on four levels simultaneously — psychological, emotional, neurological, and physical. Not in sequence. Not as separate modules. Together. Because that is how human beings actually change.
The Shape of the Days
Morning. Afternoon. Evening.
Mornings
The Work
Each morning is dedicated to depth therapeutic work. Individual sessions, group sessions, and structured exercises that move between talking, silence, embodied practice, and when it is needed, direct challenge. This is not a support group. It is not passive. You will be working with a clinician who has spent fifteen years in the deepest end of this field, who will move quickly and precisely, and who will not let you hide inside your own narrative.
Afternoons
The Landscape
The afternoons belong to the land. Wilderness walks in the mountains above Málaga. Physical challenge with our behavioural scientist and former military trainer. Breathwork and cold exposure with our Wim Hof certified practitioner. Equine work for those it serves. These are not activities bolted onto a therapy programme. They are continuation of the morning's work through a different channel. The body processes what the mind resists.
Evenings
The Table
Communal meals. Good food, local produce, Andalusian simplicity. Conversation that goes where it needs to go. The ridge at night. No phones after 8pm. No performance required.

Who This Is For
The Ridge Intensive is for people who have built something — a career, a company, a version of success — and arrived to find it quieter than expected. It is for people who feel disconnected from the people they love and from themselves. It is for people who are functioning well by every external measure and struggling privately. It is for people who have been living someone else's version of their life for so long they have forgotten what their own looks like.
It is not suitable for people in acute psychiatric crisis or active addiction. The application conversation with Simon will establish this clearly and honestly.
If you are not sure whether it is for you — it probably is. The people who need this most are usually the ones most uncertain they deserve it.
