In this episode President of Meditation Australia and Founder of The Fifth Direction Asher Packman shares profound and poetic insights that not only shape the extraordinary human that he is, but teach us to refrain from judgement, and become our truest expression - often the person our wounded parts need. His cancer diagnosis brings with it an invitation to remember that life is finite, and this inspires him to love with all his heart.

Well versed in living a conscious existence, Asher reminds us that the change we are seeking in the world begins with changing the way we see ourselves and our place in the world. Truly an episode that will pull on your heart strings.

  • Living with cancer
  • Work versus labour, and the work-life balance
