From our Research

Working Documents, Podcasts and Articles
Working Documents
We research together
On the Miro board below, you will find the links to the Google documents we use to refine and share the research on which our experiences are based.
There are as many opinions and recommendations as there are people talking about each topic. It can be overwhelming and confusing. Facing the large quantity of information, the contradictions between authors and researchers (and the difficulty to evaluate who is right), and the need for systems thinking, we decided to create these working documents to make sense of it all.
Our sensemaking efforts:
Our sensemaking efforts:
- we prioritized the key topics that enable you to do your best work while feeling your best self.
- the public documents are our latest understanding and position on each topic
- we also share our references and sources
- we organize a backlog: (1) insights we work to incorporate into the retreats [what we prioritize], (2) insights we have incorporated into the retreats but not yet made ready to share, (3) areas of research we want to explore.
Sensemaking is a collaborative journey. The more people will be involved in writing, editing, and challenging this research, the closer we will get to reality.
This is why we chose to invite you to our working documents on the following platforms:
Something does not align with what you know about a topic? You know something (in the form of an insight, a research article, or a major book) we did not take into account? This is not your experience? Challenge what you read. Our writing is not clear? A visual would help your understanding? Let us know! Ask your questions.

- on the Miro board below, so that you can see the big picture emerge
- on Google documents, so you can leave comments and suggest edits

We do not expect you to make meaningful progress with this research alone. If we did, our focus would be to publish a piece of content, not to organize retreats and design spaces :)
1) Reading won't get you far
The map is not the territory. — ALFRED KORZYBSKI
In order to understand these insights and integrate them into your life, you will need to experience them yourself. Our retreats are embodied practices of the theory contained in these working documents. Engage in experiences that are developed around the insights that are most aligned with your intentions, developed by noesun or not.
2) These documents are not the support system you need
Each goal you have will require not only your effort but also tools, spaces, and teachers. Better not to embark on this journey alone. Books and research papers are useful but they are not written for your specific body and needs. That applies to the resources we share with you. You will not be able to dialog with them after trying what they contain. Because each of the aspects we cover requires different expertise, you will most likely end up with a few experts to guide you through.
At noesun, we have gathered a strong team to support your journey and give you the outcomes you need. Trained facilitators not only hold a safe space where you can practice, they also help you adjust so you benefit from your practice instead of suffering from it. A few degrees difference in a posture, a slight difference in the language you use may look trivial to the untrained eye, but is the difference between "make" and "break", and getting the results you look for or not. Build your team or/and use ours.

You can make the most out of your time at the retreat.
When engaging in a new practice, we usually want to:
To get the most out of your retreat and some of the practices, you will want to suspend judgment and thinking. It is especially true for improvisation, breathwork, and being aware of being aware.
These documents are a way for us to share the insights that led us to design the experiences the way they are today. So that you get the “theory” without it getting in the way of the practice. During events and retreats, the focus of the team will be on the Experience. Here, we intend to be brief yet thorough, and practical. Enjoy, see how it can serve you.
The noesun retreats is the manifestation of our key insights that have transformed our lives. Bruce Lee said “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” Our attempt is to give you the best kicks to practice: the simplest most effective way.
noesun, in all its manifestations, is our way to deliver the precious essence we have been distilling from a wide selection of teachers. The distillation has been a beautiful process in itself. We recommend you to explore and find your own way. This blueprint, more than the ultimate guide to live and create at your best, is a map of the different aspects to consider and the best recipes we have found (to date) for each of them. See what is true for you and distill yourself.
When engaging in a new practice, we usually want to:
- Check its rational base: is it valuable? can I trust it?
- Understand it intellectually: to make sense of it, integrate it
- Take notes to be able to reproduce them later
