Organisational Rhythms Based on Lunar and Solar Cycles
This course introduces an innovative approach to organisational management by aligning work cycles with the natural rhythms of lunar and solar cycles. Participants will learn how to harness the power of these ancient cycles to enhance governance, planning, and reflection in their organisations. By integrating the cycles of the moon and the sun into business rhythms, organisations can cultivate a culture of intention, alignment, and continuous improvement. The course covers practical frameworks for structuring organisational activities around these rhythms and offers actionable practices for governance, reflection, and strategic alignment.

How it all began
I never set out to become a burnout specialist. However, over the past decade, more and more people walked into my Traditional Chinese Medicine practice in a state of burnout—drained, overwhelmed, and searching for balance. I quickly realised that while I could help each person on their individual journey, the deeper problem was much bigger. Burnout wasn’t just happening on a personal level; it was a collective issue rooted in the way we structure our lives and organisations.
It became clear to me that if we didn’t make fundamental changes at the core of how we organise ourselves—both in our work and in how we interact with the natural world—we would never achieve the balance we so desperately need. Just as we’re depleting ourselves, we’re also depleting the natural resources of the planet. This course is my way of sharing what I’ve learned from ancient wisdom, so we can create more sustainable rhythms within our organisations, and align ourselves with the natural cycles that have always guided us.
