In this final episode of season two, Natasha chats with renowned meditation teacher, speaker, and coach, Tom Cronin.

Founder of The Stillness Project, a global movement to inspire one billion people to sit in stillness daily, Tom is passionate about reducing stress and chaos in people’s lives.

His ongoing work in transformational leadership coaching and corporate training has seen him working with some of the top companies in the world like Amazon, Oracle, Harvard Business School, Qantas, UBS and Coca-Cola. He has spoken on stage at conferences and events like Adnews Summit, Afest, Wanderlust and Mind Heart Connect. Tom has six books published, a meditation app and produced the hit film The Portal.

Amber Ward is an eternal student of energy and quantum consciousness. Co-founder of abundaré, she works with a wide range of people to create harmonised realities by understanding life force as the starting point.

• Seeing the tangible realities of understanding frequency and energy 
• Where there are energies to empower people, there are also energies that create dis-ease
• There’s more light on the planet now more than there has ever been, despite fear based projections

• Standing in your power, flourishing, and then collective flourishing follows
• Who is Abundare for?
• As our awareness evolves it becomes like breathing - spontaneous and natural
