How we feel, think and facilitate.
At School of Thought Malaysia, we recognise that healing, leadership, and learning are never one-dimensional. People are shaped by layered experiences — biological, emotional, social, and spiritual. And yet, within those conditions, we also hold the capacity to grow, adapt, and respond with awareness.
This is why we draw from both the Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual (BPSS) model and the Human Intelligence Framework to guide how we design our spaces.

The Human Intelligence Framework
We believe intelligence is not limited to the cognitive mind. It exists in many forms. And by integrating these intelligences, our work invites both reflection and transformation —- through conversation, embodiment, and community practice.

Cognitive clarity and critical thought
-
Emotional awareness and empathy
-
Spiritual grounding and purpose
-
The capacity to adapt and grow through adversity.
