Come, let’s take a walk, and see through the rush and bustle for another goal, if happiness and peace of mind really lie there. If not; then where is it? What do we miss when we are constantly rushing in life; never quite getting the hang of it?
Come, discover, in 2 weeks what it means to really live from your core. Whenever we are looking outwards for solutions to our issues and concerns, we miss the fundamentals of humanity that make us whole unconditionally.
