Pathways to Mindfulness
From a Western perspective, mindfulness is about learning to pause in each moment and consider how you could embrace yourself, others, and the planet in a kinder, more loving way. It's the commitment to being mindful of this choice that results in a better quality of life.
About the Program
At some point in life, most of us face a dark night of the soul—moments of loss, heartbreak, failure, or disconnection that leave us feeling powerless and dissatisfied with life. While these experiences can be profoundly painful, they also hold within them the seed of transformation. With the right guidance, what feels like an ending can become the doorway into a new way of being, one rooted in awareness, healing, and a deeper connection to your true self.
Pathways to Mindfulness is a structured journey that helps you navigate these difficult times with clarity and purpose. Developed from ancient wisdom traditions and supported by modern neuroscience, PTM offers a step-by-step framework for shifting the patterns of thought and behaviour that keep you trapped in suffering. By engaging in this process, you’ll learn how to gently rewire your mind through awareness, mindfulness, and conscious choice, unlocking greater peace, joy, and freedom from suffering.
What People Say
"This program has empowered me with some very special tools and knowledge that I use on a daily basis and will continue to use for the rest of my life. I look back to my past with the opinion that I had been living my life with my eyes and ears shut. I now have a totally different perspective on life and the way I go about things."

How to Participate
We want you to experience the Pathways to Mindfulness process firsthand before making any commitments. That’s why the first two sessions are completely free, so you can explore the approach, ask questions, and see whether it feels right for you.
From there, you have two ways to continue:
Full Program (Minimum 25 sessions): A complete journey that allows the time, depth, and guidance needed to fully integrate these practices into your daily life.
Short Course (Minimum 6 sessions): A practical introduction to the key concepts from the full program. This is a focused path that still equips you with tools you can carry forward on your own.
Both pathways include:
-
Weekly sessions (up to 60 mins per session)
-
A printed workbook with deep journaling prompts to integrate each session
-
A mindfulness journal to support you after the program ends
-
Tools you can return to long after the course finishes
-
Lifetime access to the private online community and monthly meetings
-
Weekly, monthly and upfront payment options

"I write from my position as a medical specialist and also an international healthcare leader, having been an advisor to the NZ government and the WHO, and also as the cofounder of an international movement for compassionate healthcare, Hearts in Healthcare. Of all the many programs in self-development I have undertaken, this mentoring program would rank among the most valuable. The program is based on a great depth of knowledge and wisdom and the learning resources are truly excellent."
