Lion.College · Apprentice Intake

Apply for the founding twelve.

The founding twelve will be invited personally by the founder. You may still submit an uninvited application — it will be read and held for later cohorts. There is no disadvantage to applying without an invitation. There is also no shortcut.

Read the Constitution, the Code of Conduct, and the Apprentice Compact before submitting. The compact is what you will sign in person at Investiture if accepted.

If you have not yet walked the 7-Day Path, please do that first. Twenty minutes a day for seven days. Most applications are stronger after.

Full name*

Age*

City, country*

Email (for reply)*

Were you invited?*

If yes, who invited you?

Your current work, in one sentence*

A line, not a paragraph. Founder, operator, contractor, employee — name it plainly.

What you want to ship in the next twelve months*

A venture, a salaried role, a public artefact. Be specific.

The virtue you are working on*

The wound you carry*

Father-wound, addiction, marriage breakdown, faithlessness, fear — name one in your own words. What you write is confidential to the founder and (if you progress) your mentor.

Why now*

Why are you applying at this particular moment in your life? What changed?

One brother who knows you*

Name and contact for someone we may write to. Not a reference letter — just one man who has known you long enough to vouch.

Have you walked the 7-Day Path?

Not required. But applications from men who have walked it carry a different weight.

I have read the Constitution, the Code of Conduct, and the Apprentice Compact. I understand that if accepted, I will be expected to do the work — weekly pod, daily practice, a paired mentor, and a shipped artefact by year's end. I am ready.

By submitting, I consent to the founder reading what I have written (including the wound) and acknowledge the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.

Your application goes directly to liam@lionmind.zone. No mailing list. No automation. The founder reads each one personally.
