The book that started it all
The Giants and the Smalls
The Adventure of Rimi and Ritt · Nicholas Townsend Smith
Not your typical bedtime story — this is a wake-up call to Giant potential.
Welcome to
The Tribe of Giants
Home of the 12 Journeys — where every Giant was once a Small
Name the pattern that's been running your life. Then outgrow it.
You've read the books. You've heard the podcasts. You've collected insights that evaporated by Friday — and the pattern is still here, because information was never the problem. The Tribe of Giants is where you do the work: twelve guided journeys, a mirror that helps you see what you can't see alone, and a tribe of people building themselves for real.
Join free, for life. Your seat in the Tribe, Journey 1 and the daily Giant Quest are yours to keep — and your first 30 days are All-Access: every journey, Rimi, the Mirror, the whole game. No card. After that, All-Access is $19 a month — only if you want it.

Step inside
A day inside the Tribe
Not a course library you'll never open — a place you come back to. A question in the morning, one real step by noon, people who answer by night. These are the real screens.
Morning One honest question
Heavier or lighter? Your body answers before your words do. Two minutes, and the day has a name.
Seconds later Your page, read back
What your body and words are saying, the pattern underneath, and one small thing to try. Only you see it.
By noon Lay one plank
The change you keep postponing becomes a bridge. Every real act lays a plank — and you watch yourself cross.
Any hour Rimi, your guide
Bring him the thing you keep circling. He knows the twelve journeys and remembers where you are.
Evening Say it out loud
The win or the weight, shared with people doing the same work. Being seen is what makes it stick.
Every day Watch your Giant grow
Every check-in, plank, share and lesson grows your Giant — the growth you can feel, made visible.
The whole path Twelve journeys
Each led by a character whose story becomes a mirror for yours. Walk them at your pace. All twelve are open for your first 30 days.
Real screens from the app, shown with a demo member. Your check-ins stay yours — only you ever see them.
Where it all began
It started with a book.
The Giants and the Smalls is the story the whole Tribe grew from. The Giant within the Small follows one man through the twelve journeys home. Read both inside the Tribe, or get your own copy on Amazon. The books →
The novel of the 12 Journeys
The Giant within the Small
A Story of the Twelve Journeys Home to Yourself · Nicholas Townsend Smith
He carried the number for six years. The morning he lost everything, he finally called it.
Why people join
Nobody wakes up wanting another membership.
People reach for the Tribe to do four real things. Everything inside is built for them. Read the whole case →
See what's actually in the way
Not another self-help theory — your pattern, named. The Mirror walks you through what your body already knows, and the daily check-in catches what your days are telling you.
Become who the next chapter requires
The promotion, the business, the relationship, the move — whatever you're building, walk the journeys through that. Every stage reframes around the life you're actually living.
Repair what matters
Anger, grief, attachment, forgiveness — whole journeys are built for the relationships you're carrying. And you walk them inside a tribe, not alone at 11pm with a search bar.
Reach the self you keep postponing
Twelve journeys, walked and taught back until they're yours. Not information you collect — a person you become, with a book of your own words to prove it.
The growth
Every Giant was born a Small.
Your Giant grows with what you actually do — check-ins, planks laid, words shared, lessons learned. Six stages: the Five Laws of Giant Growth, one at a time, and a sixth for reaching back. Not a badge for signing up: a road, and you can see how far you've walked it.
- SmallEvery Giant was born a Small. You've begun.Law 1 · Every Giant Was Born a Small
- OutgrowingThe old house is getting tight. That's growth, not failure.Law 2 · You Will Outgrow Your House Before You're Ready
- Far-SeerFrom higher up, you catch what you used to miss.Law 3 · Giants See What Smalls Miss
- UnshrinkingFear still knocks. You stay your full size.Law 4 · Fear Makes You Shrink
- GiantYou grew by doing. You stand where you once felt small.Law 5 · Giants Grow by Doing, Not by Knowing
- Gentle GiantYou lift Smalls onto your shoulders, the way Rimi lifted Ritt.Rimi's way · A Giant reaches back
The Gentle Giant is kept for people who lift others as they climb, the way Rimi lifted Ritt — strength alone was never the point.
An honest sort
This is not for everyone. Here's how to tell.
The Tribe is for you if…
- You've caught yourself asking the quiet question — “is this all there is?”
- You've done the books and podcasts, and you're ready to practice instead of collect
- You're willing to look at yourself honestly — even when it's tender
- You want people walking beside you, not an audience watching you
It's not for you if…
- You want a quick miracle — we don't sell those, and nobody honest does
- You want someone to fix you — the work is yours; we walk beside you, we don't carry you
- You're collecting another course to leave unfinished
- You need certainty before the first step — the first step is how you get certainty
If reading that second list brought relief — you don't need us, and that's a good answer. If it brought a little heat you can't quite place: that heat is information. Come find out what it's pointing at.
Everything inside
One membership. Four kinds of strength.
The Tribe has grown into a complete transformation practice — here's all of it, plainly.
The Path
- All 12 journeys — story, science, practice, and reflection in every stage
- Walk each journey WITH Rimi, reframed around your real challenge
- Teach-back checkpoints that prove it stuck

The Seeing
- The Mirror — a private, body-led reflection chamber (it keeps no transcript; your journal is the only record)
- Rimi — your guide, in chat and out loud, grounded in the 12 Journeys
- A daily check-in that answers back with a written reflection
The Tribe
- A real community: feed, friends, messages, events
- Share the wins AND the weight — and get met, not judged
- Bring your coach or therapist — they see only what you choose
- A directory of certified coaches when you want a human beside you
What you keep
- A private journal that is yours forever

Questions
Asked honestly, answered honestly
What is the Tribe of Giants?
It's a guided personal-growth community — the official home of the 12 Journeys. Every account is free for life: the full community (feed, friends, events, messages), Journey 1 and the daily Giant Quest. And your first 30 days are All-Access, free: all 12 journeys, Rimi, the Mirror, the whole of Giant Crossings, full daily check-ins and the Giant Library. Keep All-Access after that for $19 a month or $149 a year, only if you want it.
Is it really free?
Yes, for life. Your account is free and stays free: the community, Journey 1, The Giants and the Smalls, the daily Giant Quest and your first crossing. On top of that, your first 30 days are All-Access — every journey and every feature. We never ask for a card, so there's nothing to cancel; after 30 days, keep All-Access for $19 a month or $149 a year only if you want it.
What's in All-Access?
Everything in the Tribe: all 12 journeys — six sittings and a Deep Dive each — Rimi in chat and voice every day, the Mirror whenever you need it, a written reflection on every check-in, every crossing in Giant Crossings, the Giant Library, your printable Journey Book, and — when you finish all 12 — graduation into the Limitless Giant circle. Every new account gets it free for the first 30 days; after that it's $19 a month or $149 a year.
How much does it cost?
Nothing to join: your account is free for life. All-Access — the whole path — is free for your first 30 days, then $19 a month or $149 a year (about $12.42 a month) if you want to keep it; cancel anytime and keep your words. Already sure? Get All-Access today and choose monthly or annual on the payment page — your first charge still waits until your free 30 days end.
Is this AI coaching? Be honest with me.
Here's the honest answer: Rimi is an AI guide grounded in the 12 Journeys, and the Mirror is an AI-held reflection space. They help you see — they don't replace a therapist, and we say so plainly. The Mirror keeps no transcript of your conversations; your journal is the only record, and it's yours. Crisis resources are built in, and real certified coaches are in the directory when you want a human.
Who can see what I write?
You. Reflections and journals are private by default. The Mirror never stores the conversation at all. If you choose to share a journey with a coach or therapist, they see only what you explicitly share.
What if I fall behind?
There's no behind. The path is self-paced, your progress and words are saved forever, and the Tribe will still be here on the day you come back. Growth isn't a semester; it doesn't have a late penalty.
Can I do this with my coach or therapist?
Yes. Coaches and therapists walk clients through the journeys with a shared view — and each client controls exactly what's visible. Many coaches use the Tribe as the practice field between sessions.

It breaks on the day you start.
Sixty seconds from now you can be inside — every journey open, the tribe around you, the Mirror waiting. Or you can sit with it. You already know what sitting with it does.
