Emotional awareness training for anyone who works where it gets hard.

In a tense, high-consequence situation, a difficult meeting, a conversation that matters, something older and faster than the rational mind takes charge. Emotions arrive before we decide, and often decide for us. That isn't a character flaw. It's biology, and it can be trained.

I started to learn about the mind during nine years in a Tibetan Buddhist hermitage, applied it in mental health work and on high-altitude expeditions, and trained to teach it through the Cultivating Emotional Balance Teacher Training, the secular programme developed by Paul Ekman, Alan Wallace and Eve Ekman. Now I bring the same tools to people navigating a world that might be confusing and does not stop being demanding.

More about Gabriel
Purpose · Conative balance

Know your why

What do you actually want, and why? Clarifying it, returning to it, not forgetting it, gives the rest a direction. Without it, effort scatters, mind drifts; with it, everyday choices begin to line up with what matters most.

Awareness · Attentional balance

Presence you can train

You're in the room but not quite there. Awareness brings you back: noticing thoughts, emotions and signals in the body as they arise, and knowing what the mind is doing while it does it. Attention like this can be trained.

Insight · Cognitive balance

Surface what's driving the reactions

We rarely see things as they are. We see them through triggers, some shared by every human, others written by our own history, and through the stories we tell. Seen clearly, these filters loosen, and the situation shows up as it is.

Connection · Emotional balance

Respond rather than react

Emotions like anger, fear or contempt drive our decisions, with potentially destructive impact on ourselves and others. Catching them again and again gradually offers a choice, and with it, room for care.

"Gabriel quickly created an atmosphere of trust that allowed for honest, constructive exchange. His expertise in de-escalation gave our team concrete, workable tools — and a real sense of collective momentum."
