Priority

A residency for digital entrepreneurs

Strategy sessions among peers, restoring body and attention

French villas from the 1920s, cool Da Lat, 20–27 November, up to 12 guests

01 / 09

For those who are serious

The more projects, roles, interests and responsibilities you have, the more you need to hold in view at once.

Work calls for decisions.
Your body needs recovery.
Relationships and family need your presence.
Your mind needs space.
Personal interests and new ideas need time and attention.

As you grow, these areas increasingly affect one another: decisions in one change what is possible in another. Misaligned priorities begin to compete for time, attention and energy.

Environment.
Energy.
Clarity.

Environment

The right environment broadens your thinking and opportunities, improves decisions, and builds lasting trust and mutual interest.

Energy

Energy brings resilience and a sense of alignment with yourself: more strength goes into action, less into inner conflict.

Clarity

Clarity removes constraints, opens up possibilities, and helps you choose what matters and act with greater precision.

Priority brings these three conditions together in one place and time: eight days in Vietnam.

What you take home

Clear priorities

The ability to recognise what truly matters now, and regain that clarity whenever circumstances change.

Focused attention

More space for deep thinking and sound decisions.

Recovery

A rhythm of practices in which your body, mind and work support one another.

Resilience under pressure

A short breathing and attention routine for stress and negotiations that stays with you after the programme.

New solutions

The group’s perspective and experience applied to your challenges, crossroads and opportunities.

Your peers

People who share your context, take an interest in one another, and have the potential to grow together.

You bring the agenda. Over eight days, you align your vision with your body, routines, practice and the people who matter to you.

04 / 09

The decision circle

Each participant has a dedicated session focused on their current situation. Sessions alternate throughout the week, each with a clear, focused time frame.

Keep growing, or stay at your current size?

Launch a second business line, or fix the first?

Who should you hire first, and who is it time to part ways with?

What do you do when you and your business partner no longer see eye to eye?

How do you stop being the bottleneck in your own company?

Whose expectations are you carrying: your own or someone else’s?

What risk are you carrying alone because there is no one else to take it on?

Atmospheric illustration: playing golf

Someone has been through a similar stage. Someone brings a different kind of experience. Someone sees what is hard to notice from the inside. Someone can offer a specific tool, contact or solution.

The value of other people’s sessions is hard to overstate: participants face comparable stages, and exploring someone else’s crossroads often answers your own question. Each session begins with a few minutes of breathing and silence, so decisions are made with a clear mind.

There is no stage and no audience. The facilitator sits in the same circle, keeping track of time and how the agenda unfolds.

The rhythm of the day

Morning

Body, attention, concentration and awareness.

Daytime

Your own work, group discussions, thinking, conversations, adventures and free time.

Evening

Shared dinners, practice, conversation and recovery.

Day 1 → Day 8

Practice runs through the whole week: breathing, attention and bodily signals as tools for decisions under pressure. On the first day, you measure your starting point. On the last day, you repeat the measurements and compare.

  • Breathing test
  • Stress level
  • Heart rate variability, if you wear a ring or watch

Each part has its own facilitator. The programme offers structure and enough room for your own rhythm. The agenda is recommended; taking part in each element remains your choice.

06 / 09

Who is at the table

Atmospheric illustration: a shared dinner

Who makes conversation useful, enjoyable and enriching at the same time?

Up to 12 guests. Twelve, so that everyone has their own session over eight days. Digital entrepreneurs in a growth phase. Founders and creators of digital products. Team leaders and influential voices in their industries. The programme is conducted in Russian.

AI and digital business are broad enough to offer different perspectives, yet focused enough that no one has to explain the context from scratch. A shared market provides common ground: conversations go straight to the substance.

These are people with whom it is equally engaging to work through a difficult problem on the golf course, walk through a mountain forest to a waterfall, or talk for hours over dinner.

Future friends, partners and people who naturally fit the direction you are taking.

Our programme partner is Vietnam Startup Hub. One of the week’s sessions takes place with their team in Nha Trang.

Admission by interview

Atmospheric illustration: a trail through a mountain pine forest

Every participant has a personal interview.

We look at professional experience, as well as what a person is seeking now, how they think, what they can contribute to the group, and how closely they relate to the idea of business, wellbeing and personal life as one system. Income is not the main criterion.

The interview works both ways: you also get to know the people bringing this together.

Selection is part of the experience. You choose both the programme and the people who will be beside you for all eight days. We take responsibility for that choice.

The value of the place

An Ana Mandara Villas Dalat villa on a pine-covered hill

Eight days of facilitated discussions about work, recovery and shared experiences.

Six days at Ana Mandara Villas Dalat: French villas from the 1920s on a pine-covered hill above the city, surrounded by an old garden. The group stays in neighbouring villas, with sessions held in the living room of one of them. Then we head down to the coast for a day on the ocean and a night by the sea before departure.

Waterfalls and mountain forests. A golf course. Long dinners. Fresh spiny lobster, farm-raised sturgeon and seasonal fruit.

Shared experiences keep conversations going beyond the sessions and create a natural rhythm for the week: thinking, moving, exploring, resting and getting to know one another.

No hidden sales pitches or investment offers

Eight days give you the distance to see your situation as a whole, realign your priorities and test new decisions among people working at a similar scale.

Participation fee

This format offers more than a holiday. You stay connected to the outside world and in control of your business: work continues. Meanwhile, facilitators support your recovery, and strategy sessions ease the pressure around questions you have long wanted to resolve. The understanding that emerges releases energy more reliably than a change of scenery alone.
