the Manifesto

OK SO was born from a recognition of the gaps in society's stages of human development.

Before children navigate through rigid schooling systems and parental influences, there's a crucial phase where the human mind is ripe for growth. If not correctly taught, many individuals grapple with issues stemming from childhood traumas, hindering their progress for years.

My name is Giorgio, the founder of OK SO.

By empowering ourselves with the knowledge of how the mind and its systems operate. By discovering what external factors affect it. We start to develop the ability to work in harmony. With ourselves and the environment around us.

Our goal? To nurture strong, independent, expressive, and compassionate individuals who can support the world they live in. OK SO has teamed up with Mind Station to make sure we offer the highest standards of support to children and parents alike.

The influence

My Personal Story is a familiar one.

“Couple with unresolved trauma have baby. Though Couple obtain financial freedom, Family still experience high levels of conflict without constructive resolution. Child develops coping mechanisms. A Lack of education means Parents and Teachers are unable to spot the signs. Child feels alienated and develops more coping mechanisms.” Rinse and repeat.

I grew up hell bent on trying to figure out what it was that was causing myself and our family to struggle. It was either that or carry on repeating the same patterns.

I wanted to know why such conflicts arise. Why do people struggle with self expression & potential. Why aren’t good intentions enough. There must be a way to control these meat bags we live in.


The Stoic Lady is my Nonna. 91 this year she is the eldest of 11. I was lucky enough to be raised by Italians. And so this gave me even more references to refer to when comparing the tools of life.

Passion, noise and emotion on one side Vs a more poised, reserved and uptight way of being on the other.

She taught me the value of a simple life and shows me every day we need nothing more than a disciplined & determined mind.

The Training

If you were raised in the West it’s likely your parents did not have access to the Eastern teachings of how to navigate the mind and ones emotions. So whilst these phenomena are far from new, becoming self-aware without training is like an astronaut discovering a new planet. Except you’re blindfolded. With no GPS. you scare easily & get emotional, so are likely to give up.

OK SO offers ICF accredited coaching to all ages.

After receiving the qualifications we continue to further fine tune our understanding about what it is our minds go through and what the ultimate goal of presence truly looks like. What does it truly mean to be “in the moment?”

A special thank you goes to the men you see with Giorgio here. Tharaka Kummundu Senrasinghe (Middle), a chap who denounced himself from traditional society for 12 years to follow a path of mindful enlightenment. Ashin Zanaka (Left) a Venerated member of Burmese society & Venerable Bhikkhu Sīlācāra (Right) a Buddhist Monk from India. Both devoted their lives to studying the art and science of mindfulness. Giorgio spent beautiful time developing relationships whilst conducting several hundred hours of discourse and Vipassanā meditation.

We are incredibly proud to have the continued support of these gentlemen for our clients.

We learnt that ultimately no matter what aspirations you hold, it almost always comes down to this. Can you remain present enough to not get swayed by the chatter in your mind.

In conjunction with Western Neuroscience & Psychology we developed 4 pillars of focus as seen below. We believe hitting these notes is enough to provide you and your network with the education & tools needed to reach your full potential.

THE 4 Pillars of Focus

  • presence

    Fostering the education of Burmese Buddhist monks. These venerated members of society have helped us stay fully engaged in the present moment, utalising mindfulness to manage stress and enhance focus.

  • Awareness

    Awareness involves understanding oneself deeply, recognizing patterns, and promoting growth. It's about introspection, identifying habits, and the inner workings of our systems.

  • discipline

    Discipline develops unwavering commitment, consistent effort, and self-control. Build the resilience to utalise the benefits of the many practices we offer. To harness discipline is to truly harness freedom.

  • Belief

    Cultivate empowering mindsets and attitudes. Belief conquers self-doubt and pursues true aspiration. Unleash the potential to achieve remarkable goals and overcome obstacles. It is the vision.
