About Us

An Epidemic of Mental Distress!

Are you a curious and courageous leader in life sciences and healthcare? Do you seek to enhance your performance and health?

If yes, does this sound like you?

  • "I have a demanding job with a high level of responsibilities and feel exhausted at the end of the week."
  • When asked how you are doing in the workplace, you simply reply, "I am coping well."
  • "I have an urgent matter to close before tomorrow. I have to skip my family dinner."

"How can I have a better work-life balance."

These are the questions we answer and the challenges we help each other solve in The Flourishing Incubator.

About The Dance of Life Community

Here is a small taste of what you will get.

Together, we will explore insights from breakthrough research and real-life experiences to deepen your understanding of reality so that you can strengthen your sense of coherence (Antonovsky, 1987).

That is true. Learning, unlearning, and upskilling to keep performing demand staying up-to-date, and there is so much information out there that it may feel overwhelming.

So, we curate the best wisdom into learning and development programs designed to equip you with the most appropriate tools to navigate life’s transitions.

The key to a successful, well-lived life is mastering self-regulation of your body, mind, and spirit.

We will help engineer your life tool kit, full of personalized do-it-yourself health interventions so that you can be grounded in a state of being, not doing!
“Tuning in” to nurture your vitality and create optimal and sustainable work-life conditions for human success.

Join The Dance of Life community, and let's co-build collective wisdom to uplift human work-life conditions into a new framework based on a shared sense of humanity.

About L&D Programs

Learning and Development (L&D) programs are blended learning programs that guide you to explore the diverse range of science-based, practical strategies and pearls of wisdom.
You will be part of a cohort of flourishers, you will be walking side-by-side so that each of you can walk confidently in and make an atomic transformation.

“Inner development is deeply personal and inherently collective.”
(Senge, IDG-2020)

The learning and development programs are interdisciplinary studies that examine how people can shift from a survival mode of living to a joyful way of living—from languishing to flourishing (Keyes, 2002).

You will explore practical methods to cultivate your well-being at your own pace while taking advantage of collective energy and wisdom. In addition, you will regularly revisit everything you have learned and translate it into your real-world situations. 

The L&D programs are designed to help you get better attuned to yourself, control your emotions independently of any circumstances that might arise on your way, navigate into life with a strong sense of who you are, and focus on what matters most. 

By using specific positive intervention tools and insights, you will see that you can hold space to your élan vital and flourish more—far more—than you might have ever dreamed!

If you can be aligned and be tranquil 

only then can you be stable

With a stable mind at your core,

With the eyes and ears acute and clear,

And with the four limbs and fixed,

You can thereby make a lodging place for the vital essence.

(The Inward Training, Fourth century BC)
