Who.

Some say I am an expert on embodied cognition, mindset, perception, mindfulness and emotional dynamics. Therefore, all these elements form the foundation of my work as a mindfulness & leadership coach.

 

All is shaped by past, present and future, everything moves and evolves. So do I and so does this space and my work. Let’s stay connected and see where this wonder-full and wild life leads us.

Past.
Present.
Future.

An ocean as vast as
the sky.

The ocean doesn’t negotiate, it just is. In it all becomes one. Spending time in the ocean reminds me how small I am, and how everything is connected.

as vast as the ocean

There is stillness in the mountains. 

Held by a deep wisdom, carved by time,

I am reminded that most things are not as urgent as they sometimes appear to be.

This land speaks, gently reminding me that we are meant to reach. Beyond our little selves, beyond the noise. It invites me to remember and reconnect with what is true.

A clarity
to carry back into the rush
of living.

Space.

Table Mountain Mareike Brase leadership coaching mindfulness

The vastness of this land stretches me, it makes me breathe deeper and think bigger.

Space allows me to see further, and suddenly what felt impossible is maybe just untried. 

Space is light and horizon, a widening of perspective to take into life and work.

It’s the pause between waves, the silence after a question—space is empty and yet alive with potential. 

People here move me – firstly, their wholeheartedness, groundedness and confidence. Secondly, their ability to show up, dig deep, and think differently.

People here embody a quiet presence — always ready to make a plan and pivot when life demands it.

 

Above all, they remind me that confidence isn’t about certainty, but about showing up anyway.

 

A sense of belonging and room to breathe feeds a wisdom that whispers: we think better when we’re connected —to each other, to earth, to the unedited truth of being alive, and what matters most.

Leadership Coaching & Development

Life in South Africa is a life of contrast and movement. Meanwhile, this field of tension creates the opportunity to connect with presence, depth and appreciation for the gifts of being human. 

I believe, these are qualities the world needs to face the challenges we are facing. 

There is a deeper dimension –  an inter-connectedness, a wisdom that is the essence of being human.

This presence and connection waits to be explored and to be brought into the world.

Let’s learn and grow together. Let’s shape new futures, let’s find new solutions to old and new problems – with courage, heart and curiosity.
