AT WORK
FUNCTIONAL MEDITATION FOR HIGH-PERFORMING TEAMS
A practical meditation program - delivered by a human teacher - that helps people meet the demands of modern work with greater clarity, resilience, creativity and steadiness.
Deadlines, ambiguity, constant communication and competing priorities aren't experienced at the policy level. They're experienced inside individual nervous systems.
Programs are tailored to your needs, culture and budget, including one-off workshops, week long courses, EAP-style as-needed retainer or regular facilitated sessions.
A practice designed for modern life. Adaptable for all people, stressors and seasons. A skill employees can use for life.

THE REGULATORY SHIFT
Psychological health is now a compliance obligation.
Not aN OPTIONAL benefit.
Psychological health is no longer considered a personal responsibility alone.
Across Australia, organisations now carry a legal obligation to identify and manage psychosocial risks at work.
At the same time, rising rates of burnout, absenteeism and workplace stress are placing increasing pressure on teams and leaders.
Meeting these challenges requires more than policies and reporting structures.
It requires practical tools that help people respond differently to pressure, uncertainty and complexity as they experience them.
Even in well-designed systems, work is still lived through the body.
The question is not only how work is structured, but what support exists inside the human experience of getting it done.
"Mental health is safety — and by December 2025, every Australian jurisdiction treats it that way."

PROACTIVE SUPPORT
BUILD CAPACITY BEFORE OVERWHELM. VIEW WELLBEING AS A FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITY.
Many workplace mental health interventions are reactive by design. They activate once stress, burnout or psychological distress have already taken hold.These are valuable but are not what build a resilient, high-functioning team.
Meditation offers a proactive and responsive alternative.
Rather than intervening at the point of crisis, it helps build an individual's capacity before crisis occurs.
The practice develops greater resilience, emotional regulation and recovery over time — supporting people to meet the ongoing demands of work with more steadiness and less depletion.
While not a replacement for therapeutic support, it is a preventative skill that sits alongside it.
Stress is inevitable, but the skill to digest, regulate and respond to it can be learned.
Supermuse for Work is that practice. A structured, functional meditation program taught by a dedicated human teacher — not streamed from a content library or delivered via push notifications.
When learned properly and practised consistently, it’s a portable skill that offers functional benefits professionally and personally, for life.
31% of Australian employees report their mental health is negatively impacting their productivity at work. In Gen Z this rises to 46%.

“Holding a group of disparate people in safety and stillness is one of Ghita’s core skills.
Her offerings through Supermuse are tailored to the needs of the room and she creates a unique cohesion and level of connection.”

“Working with Ghita has been truly special. her dynamic, welcoming presence makes you feel at ease from the moment you arrive, whether you’re brand new to meditation or have been practicing for years, she meets you exactly where you are.
What sets her apart is her understanding of neuroscience and how it applies to creativity, bringing a refreshing depth of knowledge that you don’t often find.
She holds space beautifully, considers every detail, and brings both heart and professionalism to everything she does.
I feel so grateful to have had the chance to work with her.”

THE NEUROSCIENCE OF THE PRACTICE
Default Mode Network
Quiets the noise
Regular meditation is associated with reduced activity in the brain's default mode network — the source of rumination, distraction, and the mental "spinning" that consumes creative and cognitive energy.
Alpha Wave Coherence
Opens the channel
EEG studies show mantra-based meditation produces alpha wave coherence across hemispheres — the neurological signature of relaxed attention, associated with insight, pattern recognition, and creative problem-solving.
HPA Axis Regulation
Resets the stress response
Consistent practice is associated with reduced activity in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis — the body's primary stress response system — resulting in lower baseline cortisol levels, better emotional regulation, and more capacity to handle pressure without dysregulation.
results & BENEFITS
With regular practice, your team will notice:
Clearer thinking and faster decisions under pressure
Reduced reactivity and emotional dysregulation
Greater creative output and original thinking
More sustained focus across complex tasks
Lower absenteeism and burnout-related attrition
A portable skill that compounds over time
“When presented with lots of noise, challenges, inputs, my brain isn't darting off in a million directions, nor is it shutting down. I'm finding it easier to 'know' rather than 'think' — and this has been hugely valuable.”
~ Slow Coach participant
“I came into this wanting to build a consistent daily practice and it's now genuinely part of my routine. I feel less reactive, more at peace, and more able to witness what's happening rather than getting caught in it.”
~ Self Practice participant
“I have more capacity to cope and roll with life. It has strengthened the confidence I have in myself. Thanks for your compassionate and firm approach — and trust that I can do this.”
~ Slow Coach participant
“This practice feels like a miracle and I’m also doing it, which is a miracle in itself!”
~ Self Practice participant
THE FOUNDER
Ghita Loebenstein
I've maintained a daily (mostly twice-daily) meditation practice for over a decade — alongside a career spent building events, ideas, and communities at the intersection of culture, creativity, and thought-leadership.
From large-scale cultural moments with SXSW, Toronto International Film Festival, RMIT University and Australian Centre for the Moving Image, to intimate conversations with artists like Lou Reed, Agnès Varda, and Miranda July — I've spent my career in high-performance creative environments. I know what burnout looks like from the inside. I also know what a consistent meditation practice changes.
Supermuse brings those two worlds together. A functional practice for people who do ambitious, demanding work — and need simple, adaptable tools that holds up under pressure.
I certified to teach through 1 Giant Mind, and my own practice is grounded in the Vedic tradition, a mantra-based meditation practice.
I completed advanced Vedic training with teachers including Laura Poole, Jacqui Lewis, Jeff Kober and Jonni Pollard, breathwork training with Brooke Elliston, and nervous system training with Isabel Georgina Taylor.
I teach in a secular, neuroscience-based style, and the practice be layered into other spiritual or religious traditions if desired.
