In a world where we are encouraged to focus on the life we ​​create “out there” while neglecting the world “in here”, many of us are left isolated from our inner world and from our deepest being. the consequence is a continuous feeling of dissatisfaction and frustration, because even when we achieve and acquire, we still feel empty and dissatisfied.
