A set of three universal principles behind the human experience forms the core of One Solution.

These principles explain that thought, not external factors, creates our experience; that consciousness makes that experience real to us; and that every person possesses innate resilience, or the capacity for new thought, through the in-built intelligence of the mind.

Why are principles the solution? Principles don’t change; they are predictable and determinant. Without principles, we just throw ideas and money at problems, and deal with the randomness of impact.

Think of medicine before germs were discovered. Conversely, principles provide a predictable positive direction.

Every human being thinks but with little, if any, understanding of how thought really works.

Thought is the source of all of our experiences: every decision, action/reaction, opinion, mindset and belief…..and every feeling too.

We will introduce you to a new understanding of the mind that exposes the powerful yet invisible link between what we think and how we feel, and why we behave the way we do. We will show that just as all problems begin in the mind, so do all of their solutions. 

When you see the power of thought and its relationship to the way you observe life, you will better understand yourself and the world in which you live. This will open a world of possibility as well as compassion, tolerance and forgiveness. 

South Africa has long been referred to as the Rainbow Nation because of its incredible diversity, a nation made up of many people with different languages, traditions, religions and skin tones. We are passionate about the country of our birth and we want to show that what unites is is greater than that which divides us.

In 2011, we stumbled upon an understanding of the mind that profoundly changed our lives, both personally and professionally. It has been our dream to introduce this transformative understanding to our fellow South Africans, confident that it offers the solution to all problems, big or small. We approached the One Solution team, who ran a very successful conference in Oslo in 2016, and they agreed to partner with us to bring One Solution to South Africa.

“This is … about hope, about the triumph of the human spirit, about how all people have something inside them so powerful, so beautiful, so resilient, that once tapped even some of the most terrible living conditions can be overcome. It is about the discovery, of profound yet simple truths, of how a ‘new’ understanding of the human mind where an introduction to this understanding of the mind transformed one of the most violent and dangerous low income inner-city housing projects in South Florida,” an excerpt from Modello, a book by Jack Pransky, where an introduction to this understanding of the mind transformed the community in two and a half years. Nelson Mandela too recognised the triumph of the human spirit, “the flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.” We believe that we can offer the same hope to South Africa.

It is for EVERYONE! Irrespective of age, race, gender, socio-economic and religious backgrounds. If you think, you are the potential for change.

This understanding of the mind offers an accessible and practical means by which everyone and anyone can access their psychological wellbeing.

Exposure to this understanding promotes the well-being of the individual, which in turn uplifts the health of society.

The conference will take place over two full days.

Come and hear from a wide variety of local and international speakers who are sharing this understanding of the mind in their fields (see Programme and Speakers).

Mental well-being, youth and education, organisations and businesses, charitable organisations, intervention in the criminal justice system, resilience for aid workers, addiction and recovery treatment programmes.
