Background Lee Mason
Corewise co-founder, Lee Mason, began teaching at the age of 14 as a homework tutor for dyslexic pupils. After completing his Physical Therapy studies at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences in 1998, he worked for 14 years across hospitals, rehabilitation centres, private practices, and a hospice for the terminally ill, accumulating over 2,000 patient sessions. During this period he also collaborated with multidisciplinary teams of doctors and psychologists to help patients manage physical, emotional, mental, and existential challenges.
Since 2002 he has taught courses and workshops on bodily awareness, meditation, non-dual philosophy, stress management, and self-development at institutions including the Anthroposophic University (De Vrije Hogeschool), the University of Amsterdam (hundreds of students between 2015 - 2017), and the Academic Medical Centre Amsterdam (PhD students). Between 2012 and 2017 he facilitated dozens of workshops in healthcare and education settings, and from 2014 to 2016 he hosted 26 sessions of The School of Transformation. He has also taught five online group classes for international students and facilitated 113 online sessions worldwide on the practical application of integrative meta-philosophies.
Lee has personally designed, written, recorded, edited, and delivered two major self-paced online courses on Integral Life: “The Essence of Integral Flourishing” (2021, 83 videos, 17 audio exercises, 64 practical exercises) and “Overflowing Purpose” (2024, 62 videos, 18 audio exercises, 25 practical exercises). Each course took multiple years to create from concept to launch and involved the full production cycle: overall structure, detailed scripting, video and audio recording, slide creation with occasional animation, and final rendering. These programmes, which together exceed 100 hours of content, focus on embodiment, resilience, purpose, trauma transformation, nature reconnection, and collective flourishing. Lee has also hosted live group sessions for participants taking these courses together, facilitating collective reflection and application in real time.
Lee is the author of the book Achieving Meaningful Goals (50 practical exercises), whose Dutch edition has been downloaded more than 1,800 times. Together with colleague Nomali Perera he has recorded 78 lectures, interviews and dialogues on the practical implementation of theoretical wisdom (available on YouTube).
