The program revolves around three elements that high performers need.

Physical Challenge. Surf daily with professional coaching. Surf forces focus, adaptability, and resilience — the same skills founders rely on when building companies. Sessions are structured for real progress within five days.

Built-in Recovery. Morning yoga, steam and cold plunge sessions, meals designed to support sustained energy. Sleep and downtime are protected so the body can reset and the mind can work clearly again.

Founder Conversations. 20 founders in the same room – and in the same water. Small peer groups, walk-and-talk sessions, and evening discussions with Andrey Doronichev.

Set across pine forests near Mafra, DOMA brings together nature, shared spaces, and a year-round program shaped by the seasons.

Guests come for Steam sessions, seasonal food, gatherings, and time spent outdoors or in the coworking space among the trees.
