“Give the talk you’ve never given before.”

This was the guidance from the Do Lectures team.

5 days before ‘Do Lectures’ in 2023, I was invited to be one of the last-minute speakers at this 4 day gathering of amazing change-makers, an annual event deep in Wales, UK.

As a teacher of Vedic Meditation, I speak about meditation a lot – and yet far less about me and my personal journey.

This presentation had to be new. It had to be personal to me and it had to go further than simply speaking about the usual benefits of I go into when asked about meditation.

It was completely new for me to talk in this way. It was a leap. And I knew this would be an incredibly tuned-in audience.

I didn’t know how it would be received, and yet it was absolutely the right thing to do.

The response was amazing and it was one of the peaks of my teaching career.
