“The Organic Intelligence (O.I.) clinical protocol suggests that, from a systems perspective, what’s wrong with therapy is the focus on what’s wrong… Organic Intelligence brings a necessary shift in perspective from pathology and trauma to the proven methods drawn from the wisdom of mindfulness and the science of self-organization.”

– Steve Hoskinson, Organic Intelligence founder

Lynette Maya

I am a Latinx woman who grew up in a poverty stricken area with other cultural minorities. Being exposed to crime, lack of resources and systems of injustice, ignited my desire for positive change. As a teen mother I was supposed to become another statistic, instead I empowered myself with healing tools that strengthened resilience and a capacity to create. My programs are an intentional ripple back to those communities offering a stepping stone to shift from overwhelm to empowerment.

As a teen parent, overwhelm caused internal disorganization and repeating cycles of stress. With every yoga practice, meditation, and workshop I learned to insert a pause into those cycles. I saw that every body is equipped with an organizing intellect already pursuing growth. Each interrupted stress cycle was an opportunity for the body's intelligence to succeed.

I began translating what I was learning into games I could use to teach my own children. I started an in home program and grew to serve a larger population of youth through schools and community outreach. Today I author and develop social emotional curriculum taught in schools and community service organizations, host workshops and work with youth in one on one coaching.

Programs are designed to be a partner in your parenting journey. While no one can do the work for you, you don't have to do it alone. Parent in partnership because it really does take a village.

what is organic intelligence tile

What is the Organic Intelligence approach?

One-on-one sessions are a collaborative exploration of what conditions are needed and what resources are available for healthy development in you and your family. Together we identify the values, challenges and support systems that shift your complex family needs from overwhelm to empowerment. 

We are born curious, driven to grow and nurtured by connection. When stress floods our body it disorganizes the natural systems of repair and growth. These disruptions are then stored in our body. Your biology has innate healing systems constantly working to adapt and build resilience. Our work is to consciously attune and engage with these processes. Stabilizing healing by restoring nature's abilities.
