Body & Mind,
the new version.
Start with the brain.
For decades we trained the body and talked about the mind. We built a multi-billion industry around both, and forgot where it all begins. BNFx brings the brain back to the centre, so we can reconnect with our bodies, with ourselves and with each other.
Lifestyle
The Art of Living Well
Daily rituals for a sharper brain, a calmer body and warmer connections.
Travel
Journeys That Transform
Longevity Retreats in exceptional places: a spa for the brain.
Growing & Learning
A Lifetime of Growth
From children to elders, a brain that keeps learning at every age.
Our manifesto
Each at their own level.
All connected.
We spend our days in front of screens. Connected to everything, yet less and less to each other. BNFx was designed to wake us up.
Movement, each at their own level. Brain stimulation, each according to their preference or need. We move, we think, we laugh. And above all, we learn to get it wrong together, and to readjust together.
Instead of a combative, win-at-all-costs competition that can turn harmful, we choose another game: one where every mistake becomes a shared laugh, and every adjustment makes the group stronger.
No one grows alone. Individual performance grows through social performance: healthy performance that lasts, without burning out. We are not trying to be the best. We are trying to be fully ourselves, together.
For an individual benefit. And a collective one.
Move. Think. Laugh.™Join the Movement, free
Our postulate
We forgot to start with the brain.
The brain is where body and mind meet. Neuroscience now shows us how it learns, adapts and rewires throughout life. That changes everything: what was lost to screens, speed and noise can, in part, be recovered and trained.
01
From alienation…
Sociologist Hartmut Rosa describes how acceleration leaves us disconnected from the world, from others and from ourselves. Always busy, rarely touched.
02
…to resonance
Resonance is the answer Rosa proposes, and it is also at the heart of Dr Dan Siegel's work: being truly in tune with our body, our inner life and the people around us.
03
…through the brain
BNFx uses movement, play and neuroscience to train attention, flexibility and self-regulation. A brain that is fit is a brain ready to resonate.
The Mind, according to Dr Dan Siegel
We don't have five senses.
We have eight.
The mind is more than the brain. It lives in the whole body and in our relationships. Training the brain is how we open the door to all eight senses.
1 – 5The world
6Our body
7Our mind
8Each other
1–5
The world around us
Sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch.
6
Our body
Feeling the signals from within: breath, heart, muscles, gut.
7
Our mind
Noticing thoughts, emotions and memories as they arise, without being swept away.
8
Each other
The relational sense: feeling connected, attuned, part of a “we”.
At the hub: awareness itself, the calm centre from which we can notice all eight. Tap it to watch the wheel be born again.
The Wheel of Awareness
It starts with us.
Then it radiates.
Gandhi taught that real change begins within. Dr Dan Siegel's Wheel of Awareness gives us a practice for it: tuning in to our senses, our body, our mind and our connections.
A calmer, more present “me” changes the way I meet my partner, my friends, my neighbours, my colleagues. And from there, the world around us.

Effect no. 1 · Self-regulation
From pressure
to presence.
Too much, too fast, too loud. Information overload, economic pressure, social comparison and cultural expectations keep our nervous systems on constant alert.
Awareness is the first effect of the practice. It opens a space between what happens to us and how we react: we notice the pressure before it carries us away, and we choose our response. Managing stress becomes a skill we train, not a battle we lose.
01
Regulate with breath, pause and awareness.
02
Release tension through movement and play.
03
Respond instead of react.
A calmer me makes a calmer we.

Effect no. 2 · Co-regulation
Resonate together.
A calm nervous system helps calm the ones around it. This is co-regulation, and it is how one person's practice starts to touch a whole group. These are the practices that tune us in, to ourselves and to each other. At the centre of them all: play.

PLAY

Why play is at the centre
Playing together is where we learn what no lecture can teach:
1
How to lose, and get back up.
2
How to win while supporting each other.
3
How to grow, all together.
We win for the collective, not for the ego.
Voice practice is not about singing well. It is about finding your voice, letting it out, and hearing others.
Me + We = MWe
Join the movement.
Become a Circle Keeper.
Dr Dan Siegel calls it MWe: an identity that holds both the inner self and the connections we belong to. In the BNFx movement, every member cares for their own circles, the people right around them.
Me
Tend your inner circle
Your own practice: moving, breathing, noticing, regulating. You cannot share what you have not cultivated.
We
Practise together
Classes, gatherings and shared challenges where connection is part of the training, not a side effect.
Keep your circles
Bring calm, play and presence to your partner, family, friends, neighbours and colleagues. That is how the movement spreads.
Every Circle Keeper is recognised, whatever their path
When you share the movement
A credit towards your next class or retreat each time someone you bring takes part, plus first access to new programmes.
When you give your time and care
Shared sessions with the people you bring, invitations to community gatherings, and a voice in shaping our events.
No ranks, no status, no points to chase. Just care, returned.
BNFx in every part of life
Wherever life happens.
The movement is not a place you go. It travels with you: at work, at school, at the gym, on holiday, at home.
BNFx Longevity Retreats
Reconnect with your own nature.
A retreat is a privileged moment. Our programme is rooted in nature, to help you reconnect with your own nature and cultivate the inner harmony of the brain: the ground for living with full awareness.
You leave with tools to regulate stress, and with the Wheel of Awareness, explored in its essence, its meaning and in real life. A practice to take home, so you can shape your life the way you wish.

Switzerland × India
Two traditions of living together.
One movement.
Swiss wisdom
Four languages, many cultures, one country. A long practice of dialogue, consensus and neutrality, and the world's leader in innovation for sixteen years in a row.
India's gift of non-violence
Gandhi showed the world that ahimsa, non-violence, is a force, not a weakness. Together with India's living traditions of yoga and breath, it inspires how we learn to live together.
BNFx is co-built between Switzerland and India: Swiss research and rigour, Indian energy, youth and wisdom.
We will keep disagreeing. Together, we can learn to do it without violence.
