What is the course

What is the Mindfulness and Indigenous Wisdom programme?

A practical, reflective programme designed to help teams strengthen attention, self-awareness, compassionate interaction and respectful learning from diverse Indigenous perspectives.

The Mindfulness and Indigenous Wisdom programme helps participants slow down reactive patterns, notice what is happening in themselves and around them, and use reflective practices to support more thoughtful workplace relationships and decisions.

Is this right for your team

Is this built for your team?

This course is designed for organisations that want more thoughtful, grounded ways of working and relating. Here’s a quick guide to help you assess fit.

Ideal for teams who:
  • Want to strengthen attention, self-awareness and thoughtful response
  • Want a private, tailored learning experience
  • Need relevant, Indonesia-based facilitation
  • Value reflective practices that can be used consistently at work
Another course may be better if:
  • You are looking for a public, open-enrolment personal wellness class
  • You need a highly technical or specialist technical certification
  • Your team needs specialist clinical or therapeutic support rather than workplace training
  • You are primarily looking for organisational consultancy rather than training
