About the Gathering
"You cannot do the coach. You have to be the coach." This is the foundation everything Kun teaches stands on: not tools you perform on people, but skills grown into your humanity.
Individual Coaching Foundation (STIC) is the root every branch of Somatic Thinking™ coach education is built on. Ninety-two live hours, ICF Level 1 accredited, working on two tracks that never separate: the human behind the coach first, then the professional coach. You practise with real clients from the first weeks, and you receive Somatic Thinking™ coaching yourself, as a client, living the method from the inside before you ever offer it.
This cohort runs fully online, live: fifteen sessions, every Sunday and Wednesday at 6:00 pm Cairo time, starting Sunday 25 October 2026. The cohort is capped at twenty-five seats, because live work needs closeness.
Its prerequisite is An Introduction to Somatic Thinking, a short recorded course that lets you taste the method honestly before you commit to its foundation.
This cohort is shared ground, serving two journeys at once. If you arrive from the coach-education ladder, it is your second step after the introduction, and the first credit-bearing station of the ICF Level 1 pathway. If you arrive from Your Method, your Foundation phase happens here, in the same live room, doing the same work, and the October Your Method cohort begins the same day. After the Foundation the paths part: ladder learners continue to Your Identity and their specialisations, and Your Method participants continue inside their own programme to its later phases.
In celebration of the launch of the Kun coaching platform, everyone who registers for this cohort during September 2026 receives An Introduction to Somatic Thinking free. The offer is valid until 30 September 2026 only.
Register for this cohort during September 2026 and receive An Introduction to Somatic Thinking free. Valid until 30 September 2026 only.
The first credit-bearing station of the Somatic Thinking™ coach-education ladder.
You practise early with an experienced coach behind you, and sit in the client's seat first, knowing the session from the inside.
This same cohort opens the Foundation phase of Your Method; the paths part after the Foundation.
Founder of Kun Academy — Creator of Somatic Thinking® — ICF MCC
Samer Hassan is the creator of Somatic Thinking™, a published coaching methodology, and a Master Certified Coach (MCC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). In 2019 he received the ICF's Young Leader in Coaching award. He began in martial arts more than thirty years ago and carried one question from there into coaching: how does a person recover their drive from within, rather than from a teacher outside them? With that question he has conducted more than ten thousand one-to-one coaching sessions. Through Kun Coaching Academy, which he founded and leads from Dubai, he has helped train 1000+ coaches across 15+ countries in three languages. He co-authored the peer-reviewed Coaching Presence (McGraw-Hill, 2021) and wrote From Balance to Baraka (2025). In a session with him, the objective is yours. He does not hand you an answer from outside you; he listens and accompanies until you hear your own. People come to him when the question is larger than a situation: who you are, what all of it is for, and where this chapter of your life is going. If you want to find out whether this path is yours, the exploration session is free: twenty minutes in which you hear how he works, and he hears what you are carrying. If you are a coach, mentoring with him is a different kind of work. In coaching you work on your objective; in mentoring you work on your practice. He holds the ICF Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS) and accompanies coaches toward their ICF credentials, with clear feedback measured against the core coaching competencies. His courses open the methodology to anyone who wants to learn it from its creator, beginning with Introduction to Somatic Thinking (STI). Ask him about his role in all of it and he will give you the line he signs with: "A companion on the path, not a leader of it."

View program“This course stands out for its focus on building awareness with both simplicity and profound nuance through a truly experiential process. I feel I now have a great foundation and am equipped to help people grow themselves. It taught me that coaching is not about advising, but creating a space where clients can find their own inner resources.”
