The Sprint: 14 days with one stuck point

What people bring here

The state you arrive in may go by different names: a dead end, burnout, grief, emptiness, “I have everything and no life” — or the opposite, a force with nowhere to go. At the level of mechanism it is one and the same: your energy flows somewhere, and the address of that flow was not chosen by you. The Sprint works with the flow itself: where it goes, who signed that contract, and what action rewrites it.

So do not shop for a “suitable problem.” Bring what is alive right now. If it is grief — you will first be heard and accepted, before anything is “done”: that is the oldest work a mentor has. If it is excess — we will find where to invest it so it returns. The format adapts to the state, not the other way around.

Format

• The Big Session — 90 minutes, Zoom. Taking the point apart down to the mechanism.
• A written map — 5-15 pages, personally about you, within two days of the session. A document you return to.
• 14 days of assignments — 10-20 minutes a day, concrete practices for your stage, with a line to me between sessions.
• Midpoint, day 7 — 60 minutes: check, course correction.
• Closing, day 14 — 90 minutes: fixing the shift and a 3-month plan for after.

Three routes

Your route is your own — it depends on the state of your energy right now — the 12 Archetypes test gives the starting hypothesis; the live session verifies it.

• Dismantling — if you are at zero. No “goals,” no “breakthroughs”: a foothold under a falling body, restoring the base. Promising growth to someone with no strength left is cruelty.
• Clearing — if the old has died off and the new has not arrived. We expose what holds you and dissolve the contracts that stopped feeding you long ago.
• Fire — if there is plenty of force and it burns you. Direction: where exactly to invest so it returns — and sealing that choice.

Where the boundaries of this work are

Depression is not a textbook word. It is energy that something is draining. Sometimes the cause is visible in conversation — then we work with it directly, and that is our territory. But sometimes the drain runs through the body — hormones, chemistry, exhaustion — and that cannot be seen through a screen. So let us agree on the shore: if I see that your state needs a doctor, I will say so directly and help you find which one. That is part of the map: a good guide knows where his territory ends and another guide’s begins.

Before we start, read a few chapters of Sacred Fire — the session is built on the book’s optics, and we need a shared language. Start with the first one: if it hits you, we match.

What will happen

When the mechanism is named, the shift sometimes comes as a jolt: what stood for years unfolds within a week — and it looks like a miracle. I do not schedule miracles — I clear the ground for them: I remove what has kept them from happening for years. After that, your own energy does the work. You have more of it than you can feel right now — the whole Sprint, in fact, is about getting it back.

Who leads this

Alexander Bandurchenko. I came to this work from inside: for years I paid structures I never chose, and took those contracts apart down to the mechanism myself. Out of that work grew the book Sacred Fire — 31 chapters on how supra-personal structures take human energy — and out of the book grew this practice.

The field we work in has no textbook name yet — and that is normal: psychology itself was built by practitioners no one had taught it to. Freud and James walked the edge and drew the map first. Names arrive later, once the map is drawn. The Sprint is this work at its present edge: done together, over your wiring. In it I am a host like you — just holding a map.

The best way to know if we match is the text: the first chapter, about the author.
