Forge48

Two days above the everyday.
A move you actually start.

A small group. Two days in the Slovenian mountains. A real step out of the calendar, the role, and the noise. Forge48 is a place to see your life clearly, then start a move while you can actually still hear your own truth. You don’t go home with a plan. You go home with something already in motion. Something that lives in your life, not just in your notebook.

30 minutes with Borut. We see if Forge48 is the right fit for what you’re facing.

01 What Forge48 Is

Not a retreat. Not a challenge.
A reset.

48 hours in the Slovenian mountains. A small group of up to six. Hiking, real conversations, deep coaching, time and space to think clearly. An intentionally designed integration to bring what you find back into your life.

The mountains aren’t the point. They’re just tools to help you see clearer and make your next move.

When you step out of your everyday for two days, the noise drops. The calendar stops running you. The familiar voices in your head go quieter. You can see the shape of the life you’re actually living, instead of being inside it.

From there, real questions surface. The ones you’ve been working hard not to ask. The ones you can’t hear at your desk. The signal becomes honest. And honest is where useful starts.

You don’t go home with a plan. You go home with something more useful: clarity on what matters for you, and a move you’ve already started. Something that lives in the real world.

Watch

See what Forge48 looks like from the inside.

The body moves first.
Then the mind catches up.

Walking multiple times a day on real trails does something a notebook can’t. The usual stories lose their edge. The defenses soften. The questions you’ve been avoiding get a little easier to actually look at.

That’s the part of Forge48 you can’t plan in advance. Movement opens the door. The truth walks through it. The clarity comes after.

02 What 48 Hours Look Like

Three days.
Seven hikes.

Day 1 · Arrive & reset

Step out of the noise.

You arrive at a premium location in the afternoon. All the comforts but above the daily life. Small cohort of people like you. You get settled, time starts slowing down. Orientation session. You eat dinner and get to know other participants. Then it’s rest time.

First walk starts at midnight. The purpose of this is to get you out of your usual rhythm. Easy pace, no rush, focus on being present. Time to reflect on your life.

When you come back, you are guided into relaxation. Then you sleep.

Day 2 · Going deeper

See your life from a different perspective.

You wake up early and go for another hike with the group. This time the sun is rising. You go from darkness to light. Then coaching and deep conversations. Rest. Journaling. Good food.

Another hike. More coaching and good food. One more hike in the evening. Rest. By now, your body is starting to get used to repetitive hiking and knows what to do. It’s not easy, but people describe these moments as the most present and calm they’ve ever been.

Day 3 · Play & creativity

From presence to playful creation.

Another midnight hike. Some more rest and again a sunrise hike. This time it feels different. It’s more playful. More conversations. You’re starting to get more creative. Problems that seemed impossible now feel like another hike — you can do them.

After the last hike you go into creative mode. You pick a spot out in nature or your private room and create something that has been living inside you but you now actually hear. A business plan, a conversation, a letter, a book. Something that starts its life in the real world.

03 The Six Weeks After

The 48 hours start the move.
The six weeks make it real.

This is where most retreats fall short. By the time you’ve slept twice in your own bed, the clarity fades. The momentum dissolves into the inbox and the calendar. Whatever you saw on the mountain becomes another notebook entry.

Forge48 is built so that doesn’t happen.

The 48 hours are designed to start a real move. The six weeks afterwards are designed to keep building on it, week by week, until what you started actually lives in your life. Not as a journal entry. As something visible, something underway, something that’s changing how you spend your days.

This is an integral part of the program. It’s where the work you started on the mountain turns into a creation that brings you closer to the life you actually want to live.

Bi-weekly check-ins

Three coaching sessions over the six weeks. Real conversations about what’s moving, what’s stuck, what needs to shift.

Light structure

A simple weekly rhythm to keep the move alive and evolving. Designed to fit around the rest of your life.

2 Group Coaching Sessions & Peer Support

You leave with a small group of people who saw the same thing you saw. They’re part of how you keep the work alive at home.

04 What People Take Home

What actually happens
after 48 hours.

“Before I arrived, I already had an idea what I wanted to create and what my mission was. But there was not enough clarity. After Forge48 this mission turned into a movement. I created something that’s way bigger than me.”

“This physical challenge really helped me get out of my head. And truly get connected with my emotions and with my intuition. The biggest gift I got from Forge48 is what no one ever will be able to take away from me. Connection with my true self and embodying my being.”

“I show up differently at home, with my kids and all my conversations. This experience gave me the greatest and the deepest transformation ever.”

Laszlo Bella · Founder, Pattern Stops Here

From months of circling to a real first move

One participant came with an idea he’d been turning over for months. He came looking for some external sign that it was worth pursuing. During Forge48, somewhere between the second hike and the second conversation, the question changed shape. The story he’d been telling himself about why he wasn’t ready started to look thinner.

By the last afternoon, he’d made a real first move. Something modest. Something concrete. Something he hadn’t been able to make at home in months of thinking about it.

05 Who This Is For

Be honest
with yourself.

This IS for you if

You’ve been avoiding something important for a while without moving
You’ve already done the thinking. More thinking isn’t what’s missing
You want a real change of perspective, not a polished retreat
You’re open to walking, real conversation, and being a little uncomfortable
You can give 48 hours without checking your phone (we have a no-phone policy during the intensive)

This is NOT for you

You’re looking for a mountain vacation
You want a step-by-step program with clear deliverables
You expect comfort throughout. Some of this is meant to stretch you
You’re not actually ready to look at your life honestly yet
