In our mindfulness courses, we teach a range of attitudes and practices designed to boost resilience. First, you’ll learn how to regulate your attention, helping you to worry less about the future and ruminate less on the past. You will also develop skills to be less affected by difficult thoughts, better manage your emotions, and cultivate a more balanced state of mind. Additionally, you’ll enhance your ability to relax and ground yourself, for example, through mindfulness of the body and breath. Lastly, you'll learn how to practice self-compassion, recognise and respect your stress symptoms, and take better care of your overall well-being.

Yes, we offer 90-minute introductory sessions. In these sessions, we teach how mindfulness can help manage stress more effectively and enhance well-being. We offer a blend of teaching, practice, and sharing, focusing on experiencing mindfulness rather than just understanding it theoretically.

Yes, all our workshops and courses offer meditation practices. You do not need to sit cross legged on a cushion, but can sit on a chair. Since mindfulness is a secular practice, it is important to us that everyone can meditate in whatever position possible.

In our 6-week mindfulness courses we meet for 1,5 or 2 hours over the period of 6 consecutive weeks in the same group. In our modular workshops we offer the content of these sessions in several workshops , with the key elements of attention management, emotional balance, energy management and stress management. We suggest a period of 2 to maximum 3 weeks in between those workshops, so that participants can deepen their learning and stay tuned on the topic. You can also add other workshops to deepen the content.

Yes, it is possible to book a series of morning or lunch break meditations. This has become very popular during the lockdown period as a way of offering the staff a moment to recharge and to connect with their colleagues on the screen. We also offer mindful stretching or yoga, should you wish to include some mindful movement in your break.

In the conscious leadership course, we offer techniques and attitudes specifically tailored for those in leadership roles. Some are similar to the ones taught in the 6-week course, such as emotional regulation and attention and energy management. However, we also explore distinct approaches by stepping back to reflect on what truly matters to us as leaders—shifting from merely extinguishing fires to embodying authentic leadership presence.
To support this, we incorporate moments of contemplation and reflection, encouraging participants to step away from the constant busyness and focus on their vision, purpose, and values. We believe that presence and kindness can be cultivated—just like any other skill—which is why a significant part of the training is dedicated to fostering humanity and kindness towards yourself and your employees.

In order to start a mindfulness course, it is important that participants are in relatively good physical and mental health. Especially if your colleague is suffering from acute depression or burn-out, we recommend postponing the course until they feel better. If they have professional support from a doctor or psychotherapist, they may wish to consult them first and discuss their ability to participate in the course. We invite them to discuss this with the teacher before the start of the course.

In each session, there will be a meditation which you will be invited to practice in between the sessions as well. If you wish to fully benefit from this training, this practice is the most important part. Many of the exercises are designed to do while you are doing the things which you already do on a daily basis, but others will require some time investment. Since many of our participants are very busy people, we recommend starting with shorter meditations of about 10 to 15 minutes a day.
