The program

An eight-week protocol, not a quick fix

Rebase Institute runs small, closed cohorts for leadership teams — built on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), the most researched mindfulness protocol in clinical use today.

Each cohort moves through eight weekly sessions, building attention, body awareness and emotion regulation in sequence, with daily practice between sessions.

Format
8 weekly sessions, small cohort
Group size
3–8 leaders per cohort
Setting
On-site or virtual
Outcome tracking
Baseline and end-of-program measurement
  1. WEEK 1

    Awareness & autopilot

    Noticing how much runs on autopilot, and what it costs.

  2. WEEK 2

    Working with barriers

    What gets in the way of attention, and why.

  3. WEEK 3

    Body awareness

    Reading the body's early signals of stress.

  4. WEEK 4

    Staying present

    Responding to pressure instead of reacting to it.

  5. WEEK 5

    Judgments & the filter

    How beliefs shape what we see — and what we do.

  6. WEEK 6

    Thoughts are not facts

    Creating distance between a thought and a reaction.

  7. WEEK 7

    Self-care under load

    Sustainable practice for a demanding role.

  8. WEEK 8

    Integration

    Carrying the practice forward after the program ends.

About

About the instructor

Portrait of Andreas Hoel, founder of Rebase Institute

Andreas Hoel founded Rebase Institute after a career spent bringing clinically validated diagnostics to European healthcare markets — work that means he is naturally sceptical of wellness claims that don't hold up to scrutiny.

Trained originally as a chemist (M.Sc., Technical University of Denmark) and later an Executive MBA from Henley Business School, Andreas brings the same evidence standard to mindfulness that he brings to diagnostic science: a program is only worth running if it is backed by data, and its outcomes are only worth claiming if they can be measured.

He is currently completing certified training as an MBSR instructor, sits on the board of Axlab A/S, and works with a small number of leadership teams at a time.
