Frequently asked questions.
Whether you’ve arrived here through a conversation, the self-assessment, or quiet curiosity, this page gathers some of the questions people often ask as they begin exploring what it means to truly flourish
-
Flourishing isn’t about perfection or endless productivity. It’s the ongoing process of living in right relationship—with yourself, others, and the world around you. At Flourish Energy, we see wellbeing as relational, cyclical, and regenerative: rooted in material stability, nourished by relationships, expressed through meaningful engagement, and oriented toward purpose.
-
Flourish Energy is a regenerative leadership school and consulting practice built on decades of research and lived experience. We help leaders and organizations create the internal freedom, aligned action, and collective liberation that sustain real change. Our work bridges psychology/logotherapy, polyvagal theory, trauma informed practice, critical pedagogy, and systems thinking—without the jargon or the “woo.”
-
Most leadership programs focus on performance. flourish.energy focuses on aligned action. Our Root to Rise journey integrates somatic practice, cognitive frameworks, and actionable strategies so growth happens from the inside out. We move at the pace of nervous-system safety, not hustle culture.
flourish.energy exists at the intersection of research, reflection and regeneration
-
The Flourish Wellbeing Model emerged from founder Dr. Japji Anna Bas’s doctoral research on eudaimonic wellbeing—the kind that grows from meaning, not just comfort. The model maps four interwoven domains—Material Security, Relationships, Expression & Engagement, and Meaning at the center—offering a practical compass for individuals and organizations alike.
-
The free self-assessment is a reflection tool, not a judgment or diagnosis. It helps you notice where your personal or organizational “soil” is rich and where it may need some composting—tending past challenges into new growth. You’ll receive insights and a follow-up guide to deepen reflection and identify next steps into Root to Rise or consulting work.
-
Root to Rise is for quietly brilliant, purpose-driven folx ready to move from survival mode into sustainable leadership. To date, our participants include Creatives, Tech-for-Good leaders, Recovering Academics, ER Nurses, Research Librarians, Research Officers and Nonprofit Executive Directors. The program is titrated for safety and depth, helping participants build capacity, clarity, and courage over time.
You’ll find answers about our regenerative leadership programs, trauma-informed consulting, and evidence-based wellbeing framework—all rooted in the belief that healing and leadership are not separate paths. They rise together.
-
Regenerative leadership is the practice of leading in ways that replenish rather than deplete—self, team, and planet. It means working with natural cycles of rest and action, integrating reflection with experimentation, and creating systems that sustain the people within them.
-
Yes. Every aspect of our work honors nervous-system wisdom and lived experience. We design programs and consulting engagements that center consent, pacing, and emotional literacy. This creates safety for transformation—because pressure produces performance, but safety produces change.
-
We partner with organizations seeking to evaluate programs, strengthen leadership culture, or align internal practices with values of equity and regeneration. Our proven track record includes program evaluation, curriculum design, and leadership development. Select special projects are accepted case-by-case where mission alignment is strong.
If you don’t see your question here, reach out. The work of flourishing is a dialogue, and every dialogue starts with a question.
-
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You only need to be willing to pause, listen, and engage honestly with where you are. If you’re feeling the tension between what you value and how you’re living or leading, that’s the signal you’re ready. Begin with the self-assessment, or reach out for a consultation.
-
Healthy skepticism is welcome here. Flourish Energy is built on evidence-based practice, peer-reviewed research, and lived experience. We translate complex theories into practical tools that make a tangible difference in how people feel, relate, and lead.
