Welcome everyone to The Awareness Space Podcast that explores human experience. When we become aware of what's going on for us in this moment and doing so with compassion, safety and non judgemental we can begin to heal. The question is, how can we integrate this sense of awareness to create a steady and resilient way of life?

This what I seek out to discover via this podcast --

All we have is this moment and how can we best engage with it for a sense of peace within. --
