All Services

Imagine the potential we could tap into when we start working with human nature, instead of against it.

Our Why

Somewhere along the way we started living and working predominantly from our heads, ignoring and overriding the intelligence of our bodies with detrimental effects on our individual and collective health, and the well-being of the planet. Having worked in various purpose-driven sectors ourselves, we have seen and experienced first-hand the costs of tirelessly working for a cause and how passion can easily transform into overwhelm, fatigue and burn-out. We believe that the world doesn’t just need more people willing to do good, we also need more people with the capacity to do so. Our mission is to offer wholesome learning journeys to changemakers that support their well-being and their ability to make a meaningful impact.

‘Madu’ in Egyptian and Nigerian Igbo language means ‘of the people’ and ‘human being’. All organisations are a ‘house of Madu’: a house of human beings.

Our Approach

1.

Experiential learning

Experience is the ultimate teacher, so we facilitate hands-on, immersive experiences that encourage active participation, spark curiosity, and invite creativity and self-discovery.

2.

Embodiment

Rooted in an unwavering belief that transformation starts from within, we guide participants in exploring somatic practices and deepening their understanding of themselves and others.

3.

Backed by neuroscience

We support you to be in the best possible state for learning by aligning our facilitation with key principles of neuroscience and leveraging the profound connection between mind and body.

4.

Trauma-informed

Trauma is part of our daily lives, whether we realise it or not. Understanding how dynamics in organisations can trigger or relieve people’s survival responses is helpful for anyone concerned with facilitating change and improving well-being.
