Digital Tools selected by eamba
to assist Mindfulness Teachers
What is Danae?
[pronounced dh aa n AA] , as in dāna, the practice of cultivating generosity]
Danae is a set of digital tools carefully evaluated and curated by eamba to leverage efforts of mindfulness and compassion Teachers.
Why Danae?
After more than a year of analysis of the market demand for teacher-led mindfulness transmission, the diagnosis was clear enough. Since autumn 2023, eamba engaged to help leveraging the efforts of Teachers, among others by creating and continuously upgrading this digital assistant called Danae.
What will Danae support?
Danae provides digital support and automation. So far, the functionality of Danae includes the creation of ‘blended learning’ (based on the software platform Mindseed), with gratitude to Matthias Nitsche – CEO of Mindseed for sponsoring the eamba community.
These functionalities reduce the time put into non-teaching tasks and support Teachers in upgrading their offering,.
More tools might be added as we discover what is needed and effective.

The best way to tackle Ai anxiety is
neither by therapy nor by technology:
it’s by gaining fresh clarity about the value of our work.

IMAGINE …
Instead of acting fear-based with regard to digital assistance, what if we carefully curate Danae and use it with integrity?
If we get it right, digital tools can leverage our efforts.
Let’s tread carefully and progress steadily.
Let’s build the best solutions, stimulating each other’s creativity in a race to the top.
Not competing against each other in a race to the bottom.
Constructive competition is an amazing tool, it’s competition wielded wisely.
Let’s change the game – collaborating.
“There’s no use trying,” Alice said, “one can’t believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen.
“When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day.
Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
