BrainHax Retreats - Rest Harder Work Smarter
3 Days
·Cohort-based Course
Experience the blueprint of successful leaders using constructive rest and energy management to elevate performance and beat burnout.
Course overview
No more you snooze, you lose!
The world of work has changed, and how we work and structure our days needs to evolve with it. With a brain that was built for much simpler times, many of us struggle to cope with the speed of change, level of complexity — and opportunity — we're facing. We're exhausted!
The introduction of hybrid and remote work models and cutting-edge AI tools like ChatGPT promise increased efficiency and productivity, but to make the most of it, we need to rethink how we work; we need new frameworks and practices so that we can adequately balance effort with renewal and avoid burnout.
Let's rewrite the rules!
So even if conventional wisdom says that sacrificing sleep and rest to work longer hours is the path to success, the science is clear: in a world of constant demands, where many of us rely on our brainpower, decision-making capacity and creativity to consistently produce excellent outcomes, the ability to rest well, renew our energy and boost our cognitive capacity is essential to our well-being and success.
This is also why global giants like Google, Nike, and Apple have implemented rest and restore interventions like 'nap pods' and 'recharge rooms' — acknowledging that to stay focused, creative and energised, we need to step off the hamster-wheel to refuel across all layers of our being daily.
A transformative journey awaits
During BrainHax, you'll connect and engage with a cohort of like-minded people as we journey in to explore how applying the science of deep rest, cognitive care and energy management enables you to redesign your days for sustainable productivity. You'll learn how to hug your brain and boost your cognitive capacity to reach your goals without burning out.

Fifteen years ago, my brain hit a wall!
I was working in a high-stress environment while caring for my terminally ill mother. My nervous system was in overdrive, my sleep was terrible, and I couldn't focus on even the simplest tasks! Like most folks, I kept going, thinking everything would be okay, but obviously, nothing could be further from the truth, and one day, I just fell off a cliff, burnt out - spiralling into depression.
Yoga Nidra was one of the non-sleep deep rest practices that helped me rebuild myself. It completely transformed my energy levels and helped me work my way through to the other side.
Now, I'm on a mission to redefine what it means to be successful in today’s world and empower fellow professionals to rebel against the cult of busyness through the transformative power of deep rest and intentional energy management practices.
Contrary to what we're told, ignoring our humanity and overworking isn’t the only way to be successful! in fact, it’s a surefire path to burnout.
So, if you're ready to choose well-being over exhaustion and balance over burnout, join me - I'd love you have you along!
