Different people need different structures. Each format delivers the same core framework with a different level of depth and a different kind of support.
The Foundation format is an entry point into the Rihaka framework. It covers the core concepts and introduces the primary reflection exercises without requiring a long-term commitment.
It is designed for people who want to understand what the program involves before deciding how deeply to engage. It is also a complete experience in its own right for people who want to work through the initial mapping process.
A structured exercise that surfaces your current beliefs about what matters, without asking you to evaluate them yet. The output is a written map of your present value landscape.
An overview of the tracing method used throughout the full program, with one guided exercise applying it to a specific belief you identified in the mapping exercise.
A structured document that walks you through each exercise with clear instructions, example responses, and guidance on what to do when you get stuck.
A set of questions designed to help you evaluate where you are in the process and decide whether to continue into the full program.
The Full Program is the complete Rihaka process. It moves from initial value mapping through layered examination, priority discernment, and three structured review cycles. It is designed for people ready to engage seriously with the material over a longer period.
This format requires more time and more willingness to sit with discomfort. The exercises become progressively more challenging as they move deeper into the territory between what you genuinely value and what you have absorbed from others.
The complete Foundation content forms the opening phase of the Full Program, establishing the baseline map you will work from throughout.
Seven additional exercises that progressively deepen the examination process, each building on outputs from the previous one. The sequence is designed so that later exercises use earlier work as raw material.
A dedicated section focused on the specific challenge of distinguishing genuine priorities from socially pressured ones. Includes exercises that test your responses under different framings.
Scheduled return points built into the program where you revisit earlier work. Each cycle has a specific focus and a set of questions designed to surface what has shifted.
The final phase of the program, which works with what remains after examination to develop a clearer picture of what you actually want to move toward and why.
The Group Format delivers the same core material as the Full Program, but within a small-group setting with facilitated sessions. Groups are kept small to allow genuine exchange.
Hearing how other people navigate the same exercises adds something that solo work cannot. Not because others have answers for you, but because seeing different people encounter the same questions differently helps you understand your own responses more clearly.
All exercises and materials from the Full Program are included. Individual written work is done between sessions.
Regular sessions where the group works through specific exercises together, with facilitation that keeps the focus on the material rather than on social dynamics.
A structured format for sharing and responding to each other's work. Not therapy. Not advice-giving. A specific way of listening and reflecting that supports the process.
The three review cycles from the Full Program take place as group sessions, with each participant bringing their individual review work to the group discussion.
