About Us

Blending neuroscience with ancient wisdom to create transformative learning experiences that inspire growth, connection, and meaningful change.

A whole-person approach to well-being and personal leadership

Modern workplaces and society as a whole lean heavily on the cognitive abilities of humans, contributing to many of us feeling stressed, distracted and disconnected. Unfortunately, this not only takes away from our own personal fulfillment, but also diminishes our capacity to see, act, and contribute. Our whole-person approach to well-being and personal leadership supports changemakers in prioritising self-care, nurturing their emotional intelligence and creativity, and developing a holistic perspective to address the intricate, interconnected nature of today’s challenges.

With backgrounds in mental health care, education, global development, and leadership coaching, our team brings first-hand work experience in various purpose-driven environments. Our own journeys have taught us the importance of an integral approach to well-being and personal leadership, leading us to specialise in these areas and become passionate about supporting others in navigating a balanced approach to professional and personal growth.

F.A.Q

u

What does working with human nature and biological design mean?

Great question! 😉 It means that our support and facilitation draw upon insights from neuroscience to offer evidence-based practices that enhance emotional regulation, stress management, interpersonal connection, and overall well-being and resilience. We share more about this in our trainings.

u

How do you blend ancient wisdom in your offerings?

A whole-person approach to well-being and personal and collective transformation is not new; many ancient wisdom traditions and indigenous cultures have long advocated for the interconnectedness of mind and body, as well as the importance of connecting with (human) nature. We acknowledge that science is merely confirming what ancient wisdom has told us all along, and that we are on a path of remembering and reclaiming this.

u

Is embodied learning also suitable for online trainings and courses?

Yes, it is! Our facilitators are highly experienced in conducting online immersive experiences, in a way that prioritises safety, connection, depth, and fun. For some individuals, an online setting is even more beneficial as it allows them to feel safer in the comfort of their own homes and remain more present with themselves while participating in the exercises.

u

How do I get the most benefits from participating in your offerings?

By applying the insights, tools and techniques in your daily life. Our trainings and support are designed in such a way that they offer you a toolkit of techniques to start practicing with. Enhancing your well-being and personal leadership is not a quick fix, but through regular practice, you can rewire your brain to cultivate greater resilience, emotional intelligence, and embodied presence.

u

Where do you work and in which languages do you offer your services?

We are registered in The Netherlands but offer our services globally, both in-person and online. Our facilitators speak English, Dutch, and Danish, so these are the languages in which we currently operate.
