RESEARCH BASED

Our approach to excellence is grounded in science and mindful wisdom. Specifically we use cognitive science, the umbrella term for the study of how our brains work and how we then behave. We look at how we think to improve how we do.

Additionally, we enjoy spiritual wisdom and mindfulness practices that enrich our lives beyond the empirical.  There is a rich play and intelligence available in the Kabbalah, tarot, astrology, numerology, and other esoteric practices. They offer us ways of thinking, talking, and exploring ourselves and have their place in our inspiration.

You can see a sample list of some sources of inspiration for our approach below. 

COMMUNITY EMPOWERED

Above all, we deploy the power of community to lift us up. Whether it be a small group that gets together to push each other daily in fitness routines or a book club that seeks out the best practices in our finances or perhaps romance. 

We want to know what our best lives look like.  We inspire each other together, many times by simply understanding the journey and being present with each other. And above all, making space for growth that includes grace for mistakes and faith in success. 

It’s not just lip service, but concrete step-by-step wisdom applied. With time for LOTS of fun and play.

QUANTITATIVE

We use assessments in EVERY area to get an appraisal of your present situation.  Our partner experts then create a plan for your excellence in step-by-step, achievable goals.  We have a wide range of analyses, each done with the appropriate expert, for you whenever you are ready.

  • 3D Body scan to understand body fat percentage and how to efficiently, specifically get into your best shape
  • Blood and nutrition analyses to understand your best diet
  • Adaptability Assessments to find where you can grow your mental plasticity
  • Problem Solving Capacity to see where you can develop strategy professionally and personally
  • Financial fitness assessments to strengthen your economic profile
  • Quality of Life Psychometric Assessments to give you feedback on how you are creating your happiness
  •  Some are more subjective and helpful in other ways, such as personality tests
  • Even others are more esoteric and evocative, if not empirical, giving us evocative ways of thinking and talking about ourselves like star charts
  • And many more

Here we have our Quality of Life Clinic, a bespoke co-living, and research ideas important to us. 

In this healthy space, we offer some of the aforementioned assessments, meet in small groups dedicated to working on a specific area, create personal development plans, and offer workshops, procedures, and services for some.

COGNITIVE SCIENCE AND MINDFULNESS

  • Authentic Connection is fundamental
  • Healthy Self-esteem comes from positive accomplishments
  • Exploration enables growth
  • Purpose gives meaning to our lives
  • Peak Experiences, awe enhances our being and connection to the world

Inspired by Transcendence, by Scott Kaufman, see below.

Combining the best of Cognitive Science with mindfulness practices, we can change ourselves and the world for the better. No problem is out of our reach.

Together we can inspire each other to live out what great ideas look like in our lives. We can be healthier, happier, more at peace, and bring our best dreams into reality.

Rather than a stressful place of judgment or shame, we engage as friends to learn and explore together. 

Living our best lives!

What does a new me, a new world look like?

A FEW EXAMPLES OF SOURCES

There are many sources of strategies, practices, and processes available to maximize your potential, avoid pitfalls, and grow.
