Is this only a six-week programme?
No. The six-week Guided Cycle is how you begin; your Founding 25 membership runs for 12 months from payment. The room opens 28 September 2026, and the Guided Cycle begins 7 October 2026. After the cycle, you stay in the Collective with Workrooms, community, practical material, the Living Library, challenges, tools and feedback. The weekly Workroom rhythm applies to the opening six weeks; after that, the cadence will develop around what the room needs.
How much time should I expect to give this each week?
There is no fixed weekly hour requirement. During the Guided Cycle, expect one piece of structured work to apply or ship each week, plus the live Workroom. There is no large lesson backlog or requirement to be online every day.
What if I don’t know what I’m building yet?
You don’t need to arrive with a niche or a complete plan. Week one helps you choose something worth moving, make it smaller and start. The rest of the cycle gives you reps, feedback and evidence to sharpen the direction from there.
Do I need to be a creator or already have an audience?
No. You don’t need to call yourself a creator or already have an audience. You do need to be willing to make and publish work publicly, because that is how a lot of the practice and learning happens.
Will Ged actually be involved?
Yes. I run the live Workroom myself through the opening six weeks and I am active in the room. The Founding 25 is intentionally a small first group, so I can stay close to the work and learn where people actually need help. It does not include unlimited private coaching or 24/7 direct access.
Do I need experience with AI?
No. AI has its own part of the Guided Cycle, but it isn’t the whole programme. You’ll learn how to use it to extend what you can research, make and build without outsourcing your judgement. Content, communication, audience, opportunity and better decision-making matter too.
Do I need to be a Christian to join?
No. THE916 is openly Christian in foundation, but you do not need to be a Christian to join. Christian conviction shapes the standards and worldview behind the Collective; belief is not an entry requirement.
Will I be charged again after 12 months?
No. £79 is one payment for your first 12 months from your payment date, with no automatic renewal or further card charge. Before the year ends, I’ll explain whatever continuation options exist at that point, and you can decide whether you want one.
