What is ‘Maslow Upside Down’?

Many amazing people came to share incredible wisdom with humanity, which are relevant for that time period. Yet life evolves, we become aware of more, consciousness expands into different directions and there is always another level and layer of truth to be discovered. Maslow came to gift the world with his hierarchy of needs. We are now living in a very different world and interconnected society through technology and communications, with easy access to information, which was not true for the 1940’s.
Many live their lives according to this needs-based paradigm, and believed that self-actualisation is dependent on your basic needs being fulfilled, as per his triangle of needs.
Thank you. This is for us.

In the 21st century we now become aware of a different reality, one that is abundance- and possibility-based. We have seen so many people coming from poor conditions with many limitations, who turn this triangle upside down by thriving, innovating, self-actualising and transcending their circumstances. Something else drives them – not needs – but their inner genius, zest for life and potential.


In ‘Maslow Upside Down’ we:
We always start from a place of gratitude and sense for joy throughout the experience. We are grateful that we are able to tune into the collective intelligence and wisdom, and that we can contribute to the wellbeing of reality in this way. Thank you.
Tap into the collective intelligence and wisdom to sense into what it means for humanity’s wellbeing at this time to embrace an abundance-, possibility- and potential paradigm versus a needs-based paradigm
We do this by enacting our receptive, creative, conceptual and contextual abilities and all our senses, inner and outer, thus our physical 5 senses, our intuition, imagination and extra-sensory abilities.
We are able to
- Enact and enjoy a Universal Language that does not discriminate based on understanding, environment, development, age, gender, race, culture, status, role, preferences, generation, etc.
- Enact a variety of sensemaking processes, techniques and practices
- Be fully present to what emerges, as there is no need to defend, justify, explain, or protect insights and ideas emerging through the process
- Listen to receive, not to evaluate, understand, or respond
- Co-create context for whatever information, wisdom and insights emerge through the process
- Explore and apply this context on an individual and collective level, thus practical application that has personal value, symbolic meaning for humanity, and global impact
- Weave these insights together in a meaningful way, in the event that we enacted collective sensemaking in a group environment
- Expand the information by using our creative and conceptual abilities, and are introduced to many creative and embodied thinking techniques and practices
- Enact, stimulate, nourish and strengthen our receptive, creative, contextual and conceptual abilities, which are all extremely valuable in the 21st Century
- Take meaningful, relevant, aligned, synchronised, and coherent actions and interactions
- Track insights and the flow of ideas arising after the experience without losing fluidity, momentum, continuity and follow through
- Cultivate meaningful relationships and track degrees of connection
- Respect serendipity and trust synchronicity
- Elevate any group engagement to another level
- Transcend human dynamic challenges such as hidden agendas, pre-conceived ideas, rigid mind-sets, limited frames of reference, strong personalities and opinions
- Fuse different lines of thought, contradictory ideals, opposing forces and ideas, and embrace diversity and versatility in a graceful way
- Apply sensemaking in any context, situation, environment and industry, whether a personal, group, community, organisational or collective dilemma we need guidance, solutions and wisdom for

Did you know…
In our JOYSense Immersions and Experiences we follow the path of resonance and sense for joy. That way we stay on track and follow the natural flow. Together, we tap into the collective intelligence and wisdom to discover insights and information that can assist us to elevate any group interaction and positively impact the way we relate, engage, co-create, manifest, synthesise, and actualise. Humanity seems not to be able to find solutions for our multitude personal-socio-economic-eco-geopolitical-culture dilemmas, even with easy access to information on the internet and knowledge, millions of academic papers and books published, and the ability to connect and communicate with ease through technology and communication. Furthermore we are not so clever and sophisticated as we think we are, as the way we treat each other, our planet and other creatures and organisms do not reflect that. We thus consult and sense into the collective intelligence and wisdom with reverence and respect to provide us with meaningful, relevant and practical guidance.
Our JOYSense immersions introduce us gracefully to sensemaking processes, techniques and practices that we can enact and apply to tune into and sense into the collective intelligence and wisdom, by using our inborn sensibilities and intelligence, both on a somatic and cognitive level.
Our JOYSense Immersions consist of 3 core elements, namely:
- Backdrop, wherein we share the context of the immersion
- A gentle transition to prepare us for the sensemaking experience
- And the sensemaking experience to tune into and sense into the collective intelligence and wisdom to guide us in terms of our theme
And a Surprise Bonus 15 minute Online JOYSense Session with Hannelie to share your experience and to explore questions and insights together that arose during your experience.
