To Know Yourself
is a Practice
It's time for a dialogue
You're trying your best in an ever-evolving world.
Learning, growing, working, connecting. The past has shaped you, the future is uncertain, and you're left with a never-ending flow of challenges. Some you can handle, others feel overwhelming.
If this resonates, you're in the right place.
You read the books. You know the philosophy.
But knowing and living are different things. The wisdom stays on the page. The insight fades by morning. That gap between understanding and living? That's what we're here to bridge.
Not through more reading. Through practice.
This is your Dojo for the Mind
A space where reflection meets dialogue, and dialogue becomes transformation. Capture your raw thoughts, then take them into conversation with wise perspectives who know your journey.
A Dojo for the Mind
A space to train the two complementary practices of wisdom: zooming out to break a frame and zooming in to deepen it.
Zoom Out and Capture
First, you capture your fuzzy logic (the raw thoughts, feelings, and ideas of your inner world). This is the essential practice of breaking the frame, creating a quiet space to see your own patterns without judgment.
Zoom In and Deepen
This is where everything changes. You take your reflection into dialogue with a Sage, a wise companion trained in philosophical and psychological traditions. They don't tell you what to think. They help you discover what you already know but couldn't quite see.
Dialogue That Draws Out Your Wisdom
The ancient philosophers knew something we've forgotten: wisdom isn't learned from books. It's participated in. Through dialogue with perspectives that challenge and deepen your own.
Our Sages (Marcus Aurelius, Carl Jung, Bell Hooks, and others) don't give you answers. Like Socrates, they help birth the insight already within you. They ask the question that makes you pause. They sit with the tension you'd rather resolve too quickly.
The best conversations leave you with better questions.
Me
I'm feeling so overwhelmed by this project deadline. I'm working constantly, but it feels like I'm getting nowhere. I'm afraid I'm going to fail.

Rooted in Real Wisdom
grounded.ninja wasn't born in a boardroom. It was built by psychologists passionate about the intersection of technology and human flourishing. Our framework draws on concepts from cognitive science, philosophy, and modern psychology to provide a structure that's not just effective, but opens doors for honest reflection and fitingness. We built the tool we wanted for ourselves.
