Scott Schwenk’s teachings, through a mixture of Dharma talks, Meditations, and Breathwork Practices, guide seekers to explore their deepest selves leading them to live their lives free from tension and full of trust. Known for his hugely popular Wanderlust Festival workshops, his Unplug teachings, and online training, Scott has been catalyzing the inner evolution of others for decades: helping them to grow, transform obstacles into opportunities, and find Love within.
Scott spent several years living and studying in a Hindu monastery which introduced him to the core body of Tantric traditions which continue to flow through each of his teachings. Apprenticeships in leadership development, meditation and philosophy training, spiritual awakening, and Vedic rituals were all part of Scott’s development into the thought leader that he is today. Scott’s teachings move through the core principles of Waking Up, Growing Up, Cleaning Up, and Showing Up. These lenses can be used to allow willing participants to work through their adult ego development and access wider perspectives through consistent meditative practices.
Scott has a beautiful range of offerings, and in the episode today, we talk about ego development, breath work, consciousness, and so much more.
