WHY MYCELIUM

Mycelial networks knit forests together, connecting root systems and enabling the sharing of information and nutrition between trees and plants. Like trees and plants, people are at their healthiest and strongest when interconnected, working collaboratively with others to solve shared challenges.We exist to serve organisations that realise that the burnout epidemic gripping our workplaces is complex. Systemic challenges requiring collective sense-making and transformation – it will never be solved by individuals facing it alone in silos.

What our learners say about us

"Fantastic course. I know people who have done it in previous cohorts and it has helped
them through more recent difficult times, the preventative power of the content and the
practices is immense."
"The content being based on evidence, tradition and lived experience means it was all very relevant and applicable. The practices were very useful and the sessions were very practical."
"Thanks for this course, it brought me a bunch of inspiration and feeling of guilt for not
following the curriculum with 100% dedication at all times, but overall no regrets to having
signed up for this."
"This course has been beyond helpful. I am now able to look at my emotions as something I can control. I have also learnt many coping strategies which I will use going forward. The whole tough cookie course has been amazing and has truly helped me and will continue to help me in the future."
“I loved the videos and guided meditations. The structure of the course is also very well thought and made sense knowledge wise, using stepping stones to build each concept.”
"I liked the broad range of topics covered in the course. Having each session specifically dedicated to a particular issue or skill was useful. The techniques were useful and always well placed in the structure of the modules. I found the labeling thoughts very useful."
