About us
These meetups are sponsored by Project Peace, an Australian not-for-profit co-founded by leaders across Europe and Australia, dedicated to creating lasting human change. The Suited Monk philosophy is Project Peace's delivery methodology.
Some of us want to be successful, some of us just want to live a happy life. Why not have both? The Suited Monk brings together the best of both worlds by integrating happiness and success. A modern philosophy for living a balanced and integrated life.
Each week, we discuss a topic from the Suited Monk philosophy. Then we explore as a group through discussion how to apply it in our own lives better.
This group is dedicated to stimulating our own self-awareness through group discussions and identifying areas to improve to master our own self-actualisation.
Please have a journal or notebook ready, you will want to take lots of notes!
Looking forward to communing with you!

·OnlineOnlineWEEKLY ONLINE MEETUP:
Why tread your mental, emotional and internal journey alone? Come and let´s share and explore the depth of our soul´s journey back home together.In each session, we use the Suited Monk Philosophy and framework to guide us on our journey. In this week´s Meetup, we explore:
Q1. Where do you see the gap between how you present yourself to the world and who you actually are?
Q2. Why is self-improvement as a performance — doing it to look better rather than be better — ineffective, and what does that do to the gap?
Q3. Why would genuine self-inquiry be more powerful than self-improvement — what actually happens to the gap when you stop fixing and start listening?
Q4. How do you live so that your relationship with yourself stays honest and doesn't quietly drift into another performance?Gain new awareness about any changes you want to make in your life and career
