I paint triangles
The triangle is the strongest form in nature. Inspired by Awareness Intelligence, triadic constellations and triangular shapes are elements of my abstract expressionist art works. My painting appears along with poetry of psycho-philosophical/-spiritual research and wisdom that aim at effective coaching and personal development.
Latest works
I unify verses
I am passionate about personal development, an overarching theme throughout my coaching and art work based on independent research, intuition, and experience. My poetry's goal is to inspire with interdisciplinary, innovative, and cross-cultural perspectives to personal development for individual well-being and the common good alike. (See poetry posts)
Chronicle of Awareness Intelligence
This book is about what I find most important and promising for positive change and an all-inclusive future for all. As a psychologist and artist, psychology (coaching), and art (painting and poetry), for me, belong together. I have discovered and coined the concept of Awareness Intelligence, and my paintings and poems inspire and educate about its benefits of personal development, i.e., fitness, kindness, and wisdom. This collection provides information about me as an international artist and presents some of my original art works and related texts, introducing thinking toward a healthier, more compassionate world of higher awareness. The superiority of nature over technology, the ability to be alone to connect with all humanity, as well as unconditional love after overcoming fear are the topics discussed. The selected works from the years 2022/21 are presented in chronological order; just like the artistic intuition has logically created them. The works often involve the distinguishing feature of triangular patterns, representing the threefold nature of Awareness Intelligence from a social ((1) me, (2) we, and (3) everyone) and temporal ((1) past, (2) present, (3) and future) perspective. A unique psycho-philosophical/spiritual experience.
I teach fitness, kindness, and wisdom
Both in coaching and art (painting and poetry), I am independent, and I walk the path myself. I work with you physically, mentally, and spiritually on your personal development to experience the power of mental schemas, nature, and discomfort for true and lasting well-being.

Mathias Sager
Biography Mathias Sager is born in Zurich in 1975 and grew up in Switzerland. For many years he lived in Tokyo and also in Pune/India. Mathias is passionate about personal development, which is an overarching theme throughout all his work that is based on independent research and supported by intuition and art (mainly painting and poetry). Through teaching, coaching, counseling, and leading individuals and teams around the world, and with a background in education sciences, an EMBA in information and communication technology, as well as an MSc in Psychology, Mathias' goal is to inspire with interdisciplinary, innovative, and cross-cultural approaches to personal and professional development for individual well-being and the common good alike. For Mathias, psychology and art belong together, why his paintings often appear together with poetry of psycho-philosophical research and wisdom.
Artist Statement As the inventor of the concept of ‘Awareness Intelligence,’ which is the ability to expand and systematically use one’s thinking in the full scope of time and social relationships in a triadic constellation, I regularly take up the number 3 in my art works. My painting and poetry intends to remain raw, simple, and naively colorful, yet intelligently connecting the dots according to the holistic thinking behind. I invite the viewer of my work to give a second look to get that systematic. What is put into my paintings is (1) self-reflection, (2) love of social connections, and (3) the care for the next generation. It is thought that fuels the painting and poetry process, which then generates awareness-intelligent emotions, hopefully for the personal development of the viewer too. Whenever the creative experience becomes work, I bring it back to fun through disregarding any methodological and technical considerations if needed; the term “play,” from that perspective, would better reflect the nature of my creative process.

For the world to be "even more" a better place
I really enjoyed "thinking" with Mathias. His warm and accepting personality made it easy to ask any questions came to my mind. Conscious living, mindfulness, how the brain works, etc. Topics vary and his class is well structured. Not only you learn from him but participants also share their insights and inspire each other. This is not a boring, one-way lecture style environment. I wish children have an opportunity to learn what he shares. Then the world will be “even more” a better place.

Inspiration for calmness of mind
The course taught me about mindfulness and inspired me to be more mindful. This is something that I think everyone should learn as it can be applied at work and in your personal life. I really enjoyed the course because it was a weekly reminder to create calmness in your mind which everybody needs nowadays as our lives are so stressful. Another reason why I enjoyed this course were the lively discussions that were held about topics related to psychology and life in general. These discussion would always happen naturally as the teacher would have interesting questions and was able to create an open minded atmosphere in which everybody felt safe to say what they want.

Ready to open up new horizons
Mathias's seminars deal about topics that academics barely do: social awareness and mental strengthening. As mental sanity is mainly underestimated, I believe this seminar offers a lot of takeaways to fill your potholes.
I really enjoyed when after the lecture, the teacher asks incentive questions and creates constructive and warm discussions where everyone cheerfully participates and shares their stance mindfully.
I remember every time I left the room, I could feel something deep reborn, ready to open up new horizons for occasions that I did not imagine to undertake.

Insight for purpose-aligned leadership in the modern age
Attending Mathias's session on the psychology of leadership helped crystallize some of the thoughts I had about what makes a good leader in the modern age (aligned with purpose-seeking millennial values). Even if you know some of it already, having it laid out clearly helps a lot with realizing what you value, and maybe more importantly, what you want to be -- and I certainly gained insight with his help.

Weekly highlight for creative and thoughtful perspectives
Mathias, your sessions are so thought-provoking, they really get me thinking in new ways! I love the way you put together the flow of materials. You have such a creative and thoughtful perspective, and you back it up with research and evidence-based best practices. Your openness stimulates spirited discussion. You have created such a wonderful learning community! Your sessions are the highlight of my week. I have recommended them highly to my friends, and I recommend them to anyone who wants to be stimulated to grow and to grow their team.

Helped me to understand the psychology behind my own work
I found Mr. Mathias Sager’s course on Psychology very inspiring; especially since it was similar, but from a different approach, to some workshops I do. He had a very interesting approach which actually helped me to understand the psychology behind my own work more clearly. The atmosphere was such that everyone enjoyed the lively exchange of ideas and opinions. At least I came away with new knowledge and new ideas to pursue.

Helped me grow both as a human and a business person
Attending Mathias' sessions, no matter what the theme is, helped me broaden my world, improve my communication skills and grow both as a human and a business person. The sessions were delivered in a friendly way that all participants were welcomed to ask questions and exchange their opinions. A lot of productive discussion taught us the importance of being open-minded, learning different ideas, agreeing to disagree and, perhaps most importantly, being positive.

The course has helped strengthen my faith in my own value
This "psychology" course is so dense, however, comprehensible, that, it really amazed me and taught me ideas that I had never learned before even back in my school days. The course is so filled of information that can greatly assist us in understanding how the world, the world society, per se, is actually moving (whether we assent to it or not). On the other hand, the course gives us its highlights that pertain on how to create a better environment, inside and outside of ourselves, either in a personal or societal sphere, by which we could still be convinced that life, “if spent with the right directions”, that life... becomes really worth living.
I love the way the teacher presented the lectures because it’s evident that why he created the course, that’s because he believes in the humankind and it’s privilege or worth of being taken care of.
The course has helped strengthen my faith in my own value and belief system, and also, it has somehow helped restore my trust in people in general.
Thank you!

It's AWARENESS INTELLIGENCE ™ (AWI) that informs my coaching, personal development, painting, and poetry. All the best!
Like Relativity theory is essential to Physics, Awareness Intelligence guides a new understanding of the mental world in my coaching, personal development, painting, and poetry. Contemporary issues such as health risks, conflicts, and inequality do point to a single most critical cause: Unawareness of lack of awareness. Awareness Intelligence is a specific constellation of ‘awareness about awareness’ and represents the break-through decoding of a socio-temporal structure of the human soul. The tripartite socio-temporal matrix of Awareness Intelligence provides for a mental reference system that empowers for spiritual exploration and practical application of meaning, love, and compassion that is teachable to anybody for increased well-being, organizational thriving, and the common good alike.
