The Values Workshop

Events over the world in the last few years have led all of humankind to ponder over the precarious nature of our existence mainly due to man-made provocations to each other. Violence seems to be growing in varied parts of the world, and it does need all of us to wonder when and how peace can be brought about. This is an open-ended discussion on trying to understand our individual views. Hemant Gupta, our guest is a thinker on most issues concerning humans, and we had a serious conversation trying to get some perspective for our individual selves, and perhaps contribute in our own little way to reaching the path of peace.

The chat continues to dissect one's emotions and also discusses probable ideas of how to study oneself and one's surroundings (immediate and global). It is perhaps part of our nature to act and ensure our survival, which includes being peaceful to avert any loss to our own selves and loved ones, so we talk about things which should be taken up by those who can help end the atrocities on common people.

We talk to an Operations Manager in this episode. He is in the realty industry, and speaks to us on his personal journey of working up to reach where he is today, his shifting cities to spend quality family time, his routines to ensure he remains both, challenged and wise, while picking up responsibility in the work place. He comes across as practical and disciplined, and continues to work on his inner journey as much as his understanding. A good contemporary chat, this. Do check it out.

The beauty of contemplation is sometimes found in isolation, but at times we seek it with others. The joy of speaking aloud thoughts and feelings where words are used with deliberation to come closer to the overall meaning of what we propose as our wisdom, is found in this chat.

The wonderful part of having to wait patiently to choose a guest and be pleasantly surprised on having a heart-warming conversation is only matched by the beauty of seeing the oneness of emotions. Pride nestles comfortably with vulnerability, dedication and doubt walk hand in hand, and the ability to temper emotion with reason is evident in the chats, irrespective of the different backgrounds we all come from. Our guest, who seems to be highly capable at multi-tasking, speaks evocatively about her profession, home-schooling, nuclear families, hard work, and brings about a sense of awe and reverence about many things. A good way to enrich your Sunday afternoon. Do check it out.

Youth is a wonderful time - and the world looks so much more beautiful when seen through the eyes of innocence. I am privileged to speak to a student of law, who gamely discusses morality, legality, friendship, ambition and much more with absolute honesty. It is heartening to see how much one is willing to invest in the making of a good worthy life. This conversation's openness touched me deeply. A superb chat.

It is rare to have a good hard look at a profession, complete with its doubts, vulnerabilities and methods of success. This chat with a therapist who practices in the UK is a delightful and hugely informative chat. I try and ask all the questions one would want to know about a therapist, and this one has most answers as transparent as they come. An amazingly open-minded and honest conversation, this. I enjoyed it thoroughly. So will you. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

Being in the flow with a stranger is easy if they are a guest @thevaluesworkshop. But with this particular guest who happens to be multi-talented in the study of science, generational trauma and many subtle mind spaces, I get to ask whatever comes up in my mind, with absolutely no connect to the past question.

This is an educative kind of episode, while also throwing light on the

The chance to speak to someone who seemed to me a good mix of intelligence and intuition was something I couldn't let go off. This conversation proves my hunch was bang on and she answers questions with a refreshing candor and ease. Her experiences seem to hold her in good stead, as she talks about travelling alone, mountains, fears, her approach to art and life, and many other random things. She displays a clear sense of direction, fearlessness and wisdom, surprising me often. We also talk about her journey as an artist and her move to Direction in films. An amazing urban kind of chat, but still infused with genuine love of timeless things. Check it out. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop
