Friends - Ash Patel and Matthew Earl - Thursday 25th July 2024

Celebrating World Friendship Day True friends never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart Helen Keller With a friend, we can share our hopes and dreams as well as create a safe space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without judgement . Friendship has unlimited potential to enhance our growth and provide us with support on our spiritual journey. Join two good friends, Ash Patel and Matthew Earl, to delve into what is the real spirit of friendship. Listen in on their heartfelt conversation to discover the profound impact of authentic friendships. In this talk, they will explore the essence of true companionship, share insights on building meaningful bonds, and celebrate the transformative influence even one genuine friend can have. Matthew, a graduate in Genetics, and former self-described "spiritual sceptic", discovered meditation on his personal growth journey. Its profound impact gave him a strong purpose to share the practical techniques that transformed his life. For over two decades, Matthew has guided students through courses, talks, workshops, and exhibitions, both in the UK and internationally. Currently based in London, working most recently as Head of Business Growth, his unique blend of experience allows him to connect with a diverse audience, effectively translating the power of Raja Yoga meditation into practical applications you can use every day. Ash was introduced to Raja Yoga meditation at an early age, and he gradually recognized the profound value of its teachings in all aspects of his life. Drawing inspiration from his own experiences and with an interest in inner healing, self-compassion and heartfulness, Ash facilitates engaging classes, workshops, and retreats. He is based in Worthing, where he actively contributes to his local community, while also sharing his wisdom and guidance with audiences around the world.
