Science of Meditation: Exploring Cognitive Foundations
At Mandalogos our approach to transformative leadership is deeply interwoven with the sophisticated techniques of Indo-Tibetan and Himalayan meditation, studied and refined by Dr. Geisshuesler over more than two decades. These techniques, from mindfulness to deity yoga, serve as a "technology of self-transformation," enhancing cognitive functions and promoting a proactive engagement with the world. Our methods not only illuminate the functional aspects of these ancient practices but also adapt them to meet contemporary challenges, fostering leadership qualities like adaptability, resilience, and visionary thinking.
Harnessing Insights Discovery: The Gateway to Personalised Coaching at Mandalogos
At Mandalogos each journey begins with the Insights Discovery test, an essential tool grounded in Carl Jung’s psychology. Utilizing a vivid four-color model, this test provides a detailed understanding of personality traits and behavioral styles. This initial assessment is crucial, setting the foundation for coaching strategies meticulously tailored to each client's unique profile
​
​The Insights Discovery test enhances self-awareness, improves communication, and strengthens leadership abilities, making it indispensable for our personalized coaching approach. By aligning our methods with your individual characteristics, we ensure that your coaching experience is not only insightful but also deeply transformative. Join us at Mandalogos for a unique coaching journey that integrates modern psychological insights with ancient wisdom, leading to balanced and fulfilling living.
Mandalogos is proud to Distributor and Partner with Insights, a global leader in leadership training solutions.

From "Reformer" to "Helper," the types represent unique combinations of Jungian attitudes, helping individuals and teams understand and leverage diverse strengths for improved collaboration and performance.
LEARNING THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Our philosophy is deeply influenced by a transformative experience that reshaped my life’s trajectory. At the age of 30, I encountered what few ever do—a near-death experience that presented me with a profound vision of light and an acute confrontation with mortality. This moment, both terrifying and enlightening, became a pivotal turning point. I was fortunate to harness this brush with the beyond as a catalyst for profound personal transformation, reshaping my relationships, identity, and ultimately, my purpose.
Dr. Flavio A. Geisshuesler
Out of this crucible of change, Mandalogos was conceived with a heartfelt mission: to aid others in navigating the complexities of life with a balanced approach. Our name encapsulates this mission—combining 'Mandala', symbolising an appreciation for the fleeting, precious moments of life that can end in an instant, with 'Logos', representing a forward-looking vision and the capacity for strategic planning.
​
In the hectic sway of daily life, we often find ourselves at a crossroads of crisis—questioning our health, security, purpose, career, family, and legacy.
Yet, these profound moments of introspection are frequently eclipsed by the relentless pace of existence, leaving us little room to align our deeper reflections with our long-term aspirations. This rush often corners us into making pivotal life decisions based on fleeting emotions or detached, rational calculations. However, the true challenge does not lie in choosing between emotion and reason. Instead, it is about integrating these forces to forge decisions that resonate with all facets of our being, ensuring a life that is not only successful but also deeply fulfilling.
​
At Mandalogos we strive to leverage my unique life-altering insights into the preciousness of existence, guiding our clients to live balanced, reflective lives that harmonise the emotional and the logical.

Situated at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science, the Center facilitates a deeper understanding of change through the dynamic interplay between contrasting forces.

We champion the profound integration of the intuitive and the rational, creating a unique coaching practice that bridges the wisdom of the heart with structured insight.
