Your Facilitator:

Matt Heath: Somewhere between starting 3 businesses, running a charity, living in a van for a year, living overseas, becoming a full-time activist, running a meditation community, becoming a Buddhist, and consuming over 1,000hrs of content on living a better life, Matt’s learned a thing or two on what does (and does not) lead to a meaningful life.

After working as a strategy consultant with big corporates, Matt increasingly turns his life to helping others with the strategy of the self. He brings the skills, objectivity and analysis from consulting, with the purpose-driven mission of helping himself and others to create a more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.

During the retreat, he’ll be leading exercises to use truth, language and reflection to help you write a beautiful Next Chapter for your life.
