The course is dedicated to children from 8-10 to young adult till 30. Main patient/student are typically overrepresented female 15-25, filling lost (sometime depressed) by a missing life project (Professionnel, Education or Personnal). *STEP 1* After a fisrt discussion, about the current situation, issues ( incl addiction, psychiatric errance diagnostic, ADHA, Anxiety disorder, or something mental that prevent you to escape from a mind circle) I give my first impression regarding my background. Then, according to the suspected issue, this must be confirmed by other professionnal if needed, from psychologist to neurologist, from psychological objective measuring (test) to psysiological analysis (blood, brain waves, psychotropic issue, etc...) *STEP 2* Whatever is the issue, many choice can address it. Toogether, we establish the "scope of choice". I will fight against your auto-censorship to consider possible choices regarding your native skills (soft skills). NO CHOICE AT THIS STEP. The scope of choice MUST be as wide as possible, considering even what you did consider as out of option. *STEP 3* Me alone, or toogether, I create a tree choice. The question will be transformed to questions, with only 2 choices, at each step *STEP 4* Let's check what's at the end of the pyramid (potentially several choice) *STEP 5* Action plan *STEP 6* Action (with support if needed) *STEP 7* Failed ? Go to STEP 4 an try again *STEP 8* Thank a divinity if you beleive in it as it give you the force, and please, thanks me I did contributed for a better life. The money is nothing comparing to interhuman recognition. That is the true value, for 5000 years... Unfortunately forgoten nowadays...

Trusted teacher: Mindfulness includes awareness as much as (self) compassion. Compassion has been the most recent scientific development in terms of mind development needs. In societies that encourage to constantly compete with each other, our sense of self-worth rises and falls according to our latest success or failure with almost no control from our side. Research have found that developing kindness and compassion for ourselves and others builds our confidence and resilience, helps create meaningful, caring relationship and promotes physical and mental health. Far from fostering emotional weakness, we now know that our brains are also hardwired to respond to kindness and compassion and we can therefore heal destructive emotional patterns. There it is, the alternative to a destructive self-esteem, a better and more effective path to happiness: self-compassion. Life and the workplace is creating even more exhaustion and isolation than ever before. The pandemic made us discovering new way of doing things, how the online working/studying/connecting can deeply help, for instance. BUT it has also contributed to anxiety, to build a sense of feeling depleted, to be disconnected and having no choice. With these classes you will be able to refresh your ability to see clearly, to manage challenging emotions, to find skillfully internal coping strategy and self-awareness overall. Whether in your work, career, school, sport or Life, you will benefit by finding and being able to refocus on yourself. By doing that you will become better connected with other ones too. Throughout the course you will learn the neuroscience of all this and how it works within ourselves and each other. The fruition of these classes has different set ups for children, teen's and adults of all ages, currently online. A taster first session is highly recommended. Custom courses for Education, Business, Health and Sport environment.
