Shaoness

Shaolin training programs for dynamic organisations and determined individuals.

For over 1500 years the legendary Shaolin warrior-monks have studied the three elements of the "human ecosystem" - body, mind, spirit - and have developed a complete philosophy and sophisticated method of training, focused on maximising the performance, effectiveness, serenity and wellness of people. These invaluable ancient wisdoms become an indispensable knowledge in the modern times, where the speed of change dictates that performance and effectiveness must be paramount, yet not to the detriment - as they often unfortunately are - of serenity and wellness, but rather as a logical consequence of both!

SHAONESS Company Programs: the Way of Five Steps

The Shaoness method is composed of five steps. Whilst each step can be chosen individually, it is recommended that they are implemented sequentially in order to ensure maximum results and a true lasting process of positive change within the organisation. From planting the seed to growing the first buds, developing a small tree, growing it stronger and eventually full of fruits, the Shaoness Way of Five Steps follows the idea of cultivation, which is an essential element of traditional Shaolin philosophy.
