Before
PrepareShare a first reflection or guided practice, reduce uncertainty and help future guests decide whether the retreat is right for them.
For retreat organisers
Let the retreat begin before arrival — and continue after everyone goes home.
Give future guests a meaningful first experience before they book. Help confirmed guests know what to expect and arrive present, then carry reflection and practice into everyday life after the retreat.
Build trust before booking. Prepare every arrival. Help the experience last.

The Journey
The retreat may last a few days. Its Journey can begin earlier and reach much further.
Each Moment is one focused experience — an insight or reflection delivered through video, audio, image or text — chosen to help Participants take the next meaningful step.
During
EngageGuide guests into the rhythm of the retreat with timely Moments that support presence, reflection and participation.
After
EvolveHelp guests turn insight into practice, reconnect with what they experienced and return when the next retreat or meaningful step is right.
Why Mbaq
Why Mbaq is designed this way.
People today don't lack content. They lack the space to notice what matters and decide what to do next. Mbaq is built around focused Moments, a coherent Journey and clear next steps—so every interaction has a purpose before, during and after what matters.
One clear Moment at a time.
Each Moment centres one purposeful experience, giving Participants space to understand what matters and consider the next step.
A Journey with a clear throughline.
Prepare, Engage and Evolve give every Moment a place in a coherent sequence—creating readiness, supporting the defining experience and helping what matters continue afterwards.
Designed to finish, not to keep you scrolling.
No infinite feed. No competing posts. No recommendation algorithm choosing what comes next. Participants enter for the next relevant Moment—and can leave when it is complete.
From interest and intention to action.
Mbaq connects interest to a clear next step, then uses relevant Moments to support follow-through, continued progress and meaningful return.
Built around research-supported principles of focus, narrative coherence and action planning.

The research behind the principles
Research supports several of the design principles behind Mbaq. It does not yet prove that Mbaq itself improves learning, behaviour, conversion or retention. Those are outcomes to be tested through real Participant and Customer use.
Flexible by design
A focused app experience — on its own or inside yours.
Your own branded app experience
Give Participants a dedicated app experience that carries your identity and focuses entirely on the Journey. Mbaq provides the experience and structure, so you can get started without designing or building a new app from scratch.
Alongside your existing app
Use Mbaq as the focused Journey layer within your existing digital experience, so Participants can move through meaningful Moments without adopting another broad platform.
The delivery approach is shaped with each Customer and depends on the existing app, identity setup and technical requirements.
Mbaq Studio
Start with what you want guests to experience. Shape the whole Journey.
Turn rough ideas into focused Moments before, during and after the retreat. Add text, image, audio or video, with AI assistance when useful. You decide what belongs in the Journey and approve everything before Participants receive it.
01
Begin with rough thinking
Write or speak the intention exactly as loosely as it exists.
02
Shape editable Potential Moments
Studio proposes a structure across Prepare, Engage and Evolve. Every Moment stays editable.
03
Add or create the content
Shape the intent, then produce text, image, audio or video inside the Moment workspace.
04
Preview the Participant experience
As a Conductor, you can preview every Moment as you create it and verify exactly how it will appear to Participants. Review the Moment in both the Studio workspace and the Participant App experience before it is published.
