Less Stress

✨ Still soaking in the magic of last week’s 2-day immersive workshop with Dr. Dan Siegel & Prof. Karen O’Brien ✨

We were reminded that systems change begins with self-awareness.
From the micro level of our personalities to the emergence of MWe—an interconnected field of possibility—this journey was both personal and collective. 🌍

The days were filled with:
💬 Deep dialogue
🧠 Expansive learning
🌀 Embodied reflection
🌱 Space for climate consciousness & inner transformation

We walked away feeling enriched, inspired, and more curious than ever about what’s possible from here.

Huge thanks to:
💫 Dr. Dan Siegell for embracing collaboration across disciplines
💫 Karen O'Brien for bringing this vision to life
💫 House of Consciousness for holding space and spreading the word
💫 OSLO WORKSHOP: Dr. Dan Siegel & Karen O'Brien "Wholeness in a Fragmented World" participants who showed up with presence and openness

Here’s to more growth, insight, and collective transformation—together.

With gratitude,
The Less Stress Team 💚

I’m extremely happy to announce a workshop led by , & us at in Oslo Norway, May 21-22!

How do we approach and engage with these extremely challenging times of change and unknown in a healthy and impactful way?

This 2-day embodied and immersive workshop will empower participants to cultivate a sense of wholeness and well-being in fragmenting times.

Many change leaders are experiencing anxiety and distress. This workshop offers a new approach to amplifying your impact—one that integrates interpersonal neurobiology, personality patterns, and quantum social change.

Through interactive experiences, we’ll explore:

Your unique personality patterns—how temperament and attachment shape emotions, beliefs, and behavior.

The “Patterns of Developmental Pathways” model—practical tools to navigate stress, avoid burnout, and find your personal “growth edge.”

Deep connection practices—integrating ideas and action to reconnect with yourself, nature, and the world.

Transformative frameworks—connecting across personal, political, and practical spheres of transformation.

By the end of this experience, you’ll leave with a renewed sense of clarity, purpose, and resilience and recognize that you matter more than you think.

The prices are super affordable for this quality of seminar, and there are limited discounted rates.

In this episode with Dr. Dan Siegel we explore change on a quantum level—how we think, respond, and show up in personal, collective, and social realms.
A central theme is the importance of relational sense—our ability to connect deeply with ourselves, others, and the natural world. This connection is essential for navigating challenges with resilience and fostering meaningful change, especially in these turbulent times.

#22, Dr. Dan Siegel: Breaking a Pattern of Self as Only an Individual Less Stress Podcast · Episode

In the episode we contemplated how psychology and spirituality can interconnect and support each other on our healing path.
However, in our society there's still a high chance that these two will operate separately.
Yes, in therapy cabinets now more often than ever you get offered mindfulness and breathing add-ons, but so rarely a psychotherapist, somatic therapist or other holistic practitioners work closely together for a betterment of mental health.
There's that tendency for either therapist office or 'enlightened' meditation spaces that not so often go in line.
As a humanity we feel safer in boxes and extremes. If we get to know one or two things well, we rarely will question them, yet questioning is a part of this material human experience, making us truly curious hence alive.
In this episode with , we separated spirituality and therapy, only so to bring them closer together, as the purpose of these two are to enliven our souls, minds and bodies and experience this life as aware and awake as possible.

Newest podcast on with Jannecke Bugge, the co-founder of BRAVE Leadership AS.

Last month we met and delved into two foundational things in brave leadership: courage and vulnerability.
I felt the need to unpack the core principles in leadership that come from interconnectedness and collaboration rather than disrespect and 'power over' others. What is courage in leadership?
Have a listen. ❤️
