From 2017 to 2023, mental health-related absences have surged by 300%. Female employees and younger workers are particularly driving this trend. In 2023, women accounted for 69% of mental health-related absences.
Our workshops provide a holistic, team-based solution designed to not only improve individual wellbeing but to transform the entire group dynamic. Here’s why our approach is so effective:
we are Breaking Down Walls of Communication
One of the greatest barriers to a healthy work environment is a breakdown in communication. When team members are unable to express their thoughts or understand each other’s perspectives, misunderstandings and frustrations build up, leading to tension.
ZenWorkspace.org workshops create a safe space where everyone can open up, share their experiences, and voice their concerns without fear of judgment.
Guided by ancient African wisdom, neuroscience and mindfulness, we’ll tackle real-world challenges and create a supportive, stress-free environment that makes room for both personal well-being and team success.
Each session is crafted with a unique mix of elements to engage participants on multiple levels:
-
Drawing insights from the natural world, we explore how balance, harmony, and resilience manifest in nature and relate them to team dynamics.
-
Through guided discussions and role-playing activities, teams can practice communication and empathy, stepping into each other’s shoes to see new perspectives.
-
Leveraging CBT techniques and neuroscience principles, we teach practical tools to rewire stress responses and improve mental clarity.
-
Participants learn mindfulness techniques that enhance focus, emotional regulation, and overall mental wellbeing.
-
Engaging trivia games, assessments, and team activities break the ice, foster collaboration, and offer deep insights into individual and team behaviors.
TRANSFORM YOUR TEAM, ONE PRINCIPLE AT A TIME
At ZenWorkspace, we believe every team deserves a workspace where they can thrive—and that starts with understanding and applying our 7 Core Principles. Based on insights from the book "The Zen Workspace Revolution: 7 Principles to Reclaim Your Peace and Power, by Steven Onana" our workshops dive deep into each principle to help your team cultivate a healthier, more balanced, and productive work environment.
Through guided activities and expert facilitation, we help team members break down the walls that isolate them, encouraging open and honest communication. This leads to deeper connections, mutual respect, and a more cohesive team.
The 7 Core Principles We Cover:
Organization

Seeing Through New Perspectives
It's often too easy to get stuck in your own viewpoint, losing sight of how your actions or decisions affect the team. ZenWorkspace workshops allow participants to step outside their own perspective and truly see the challenges and struggles their colleagues face. By facilitating group discussions and exercises, our workshops help individuals see the "whole picture"—not just their part in it.
This shift in perspective is critical for understanding how collective issues, like team stress, workload imbalance, or miscommunication, impact everyone. By acknowledging these shared struggles, teams can address them with empathy and collaboration.
Group Solutions for Group Problems
The workplace is a shared environment, and often, the problems that arise affect the entire group. From a heavy workload that strains the entire team to misaligned communication, these issues can’t be solved by individual action alone. To create a lasting change, the solution must be collective.
ZenWorkspace workshops are designed to address group problems in a group setting. By working together, team members not only identify the root cause of their challenges but also co-create solutions that ensure long-term impact. When the entire team is involved in the process of resolution, the changes stick—because everyone has a stake in the outcome.
