Join us: Tuesday 28 – Wednesday 29 July 2026 · Mauritius + Online via Zoom

Every Good-Thing is Possible.

International Inclusion & Empowerment Summit

A summit for people who refuse to stop.

Two days. Extraordinary speakers. Real conversations.

Join us in Mauritius — or online — and find out what’s possible when the right people are in the same room.

Online from AUD $75 · In-person from AUD $200

This is a summit for everyone who has ever been told “no,” “you can’t,” or “it’s not possible.” Founded on the belief that with the right mindset and the right support, every good thing truly is possible, this two-day event will surprise you with what can be achieved when you refuse to close yourself off to possibility. Designed for disabled and neurodivergent individuals, their carers, families, advocates, professionals, and allies, the summit brings together voices grounded in lived experience to share real tools for thriving — not just theory. Guided by the values of Courage, Compassion, and Cheerfulness, you’ll spend two days exploring what it means to push past walls and break through ceilings.

Where this summit comes from

I was born with a brain malformation. Adopted from Vietnam. Raised partly in Mauritius. Told, again and again, what I couldn’t do.
I’m a chef. I’ve written two books. I built my own school — because there was no school for me.

This summit exists because I know there are others hitting the same walls. And I want them to know what I’ve learned: the walls aren’t permanent.

“Every good-thing is possible.” — King Josh

This summit is for anyone who's been told no — and hasn't quit.

King Josh is the co-author of The Wisdom Keepers: Hope, Healing and Hidden Truths of Neurodivergence and Neurokin (both 2025, Soul Scribe Group). The summit is the next chapter.

Two days. Five pillars.

Neurodivergent people, families, disability professionals, advocates, and allies — coming together for conversations that go deeper than the usual.

The Five Pillars

Self-Leadership — Understanding your own mind and building a life that fits you — not the other way around.
Family Leadership — For the parents, carers, and siblings walking alongside — and who deserve their own support and voice.
Aegis & Sovereignty — Your rights. Your story. Your power to define what success looks like.
Self-Empowerment — Practical tools and honest conversations that actually change things.
Inclusion & Advocacy — What real inclusion looks like — in schools, workplaces, and communities — and how to build it.

This summit lands in July — Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. The timing is deliberate. We’re here to turn awareness into action.

Amanda is a coach, trauma-informed practitioner, theatre educator, and creative facilitator whose work bridges neurodiversity, imagination, embodiment, and generative change. With a background in drama and theatre education, influenced by experiential and process-based approaches including the work of Dorothy Heathcote, she has spent many years exploring how creativity, symbolic play, role, story, and relational presence support learning, resilience, and human flourishing. Her coaching work is also informed by generative approaches, NLP, and the work of Stephen Gilligan and Robert Dilts. Amanda brings lived experience as the parent of neurodivergent children, working closely with families navigating trauma, sensitivity, and difference within systems often not designed for them, exploring difference as a source of creativity, adaptive intelligence, and possibility.

Farha Jhumka brings over 22 years of enterprise technology and transformation experience, working at the intersection of neuroscience, AI strategy, and operational execution. Her career spans roles at Accenture, Rapp IO, and DTOS Group, where she led SAP migrations, automation frameworks, and enterprise-scale digital transformation across international markets including Mauritius, France, and Morocco — consistently delivering results under pressure, including 100% on-time delivery across European programmes and a 50% cost reduction through strategic automation.

Farha is personally trained in New Code Neuro-Linguistic Programming by John Grinder and Carmen Bostic St Clair, the co-originators of NLP, and is completing a Graduate Certificate in NLP (Australia). Today, at Bluefox SAS, she helps boards and executive teams navigate AI transformation by addressing the neurological barriers (resistance, habit, and decision-making under uncertainty) that determine whether change actually takes hold.

Helen Connell has worked in the Drug and Alcohol field since 1987, bringing a wealth of experience from both the Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) and Mental Health sectors. Her career has been dedicated to supporting individuals and families through complex, multi-layered challenges, anchored in trauma-informed care and comprehensive case management focusing on the human element of recovery.

Specialising in engaging “reluctant clients,” Helen breaks down barriers to progress in traditional settings by cultivating non-judgmental environments and authentic rapport, empowering individuals to take ownership of their recovery journeys. Central to her approach is Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which she uses to help clients identify and reframe internal language and cognitive patterns, facilitating a shift from stagnation to self-empowerment and equipping them with new psychological tools and increased self-efficacy.
