Is your purpose something fixed, or does it evolve with every passing moment?
In this episode, Part One of a two-part series, Thom explores the Vedic understanding of dharma, not as a grand life mission, but as spontaneous right action in real time.
Discover how our deepest sense of purpose emerges not through planning, but through presence, as well as the tool we can use to ensure we’re responsive to the changing need of the time.
The distinction may change the way you think about your entire path forward.
