One-to-one Space with John

Space to Be

Support that only arrives through real relationship. A space to see clearly, and to meet every kind of change.

Begin with a free conversation

20 minutes, no cost, no obligation.
I read and answer every note myself.

How it works

Three steps, and you can stop after the first.

01

A conversation

Free, 20 minutes. What you are looking for, and whether the two of us are a fit.

02

A flow

Six weekly sessions — long enough for trust, and for a practice of your own to take hold.

03

A rhythm of your own

Another flow, or ongoing sessions weekly or fortnightly. When it feels complete, a touchstone now and then.

~60 minutes a session

Zoom, or in person

Offered on a donation basis

Who you would be sitting with

John Ooi

I believe good relationships are essential for societies to thrive — and that our relationship to ourselves is the place to begin.

Trained as a mindfulness teacher. My work sits at the intersection of meditation, creativity, and lived experience — practice, travel, writing, building.

I work with founders, creatives, and people in transition.

What it costs

Offered on a donation basis.

Space is offered over six-week flows, after mutual discernment. This follows the spirit of dāna — the practice, ancient in Buddhist tradition, of offering the work freely and letting it be supported through generosity.

$900–1,500

per six-week flow

$150–250

per ongoing session

Free

the first conversation, always

Those are what most people offer, for a sense of scale — not a price. If they are out of reach and the work is right for you, say so in your note.
