From a childhood in a strict, religious Mennonite community, to leading a healing movement during his youth, to experiencing financial hardship and living in drug-filled slums, to becoming an advisor to heads of Fortune 500s and billionaires, to eventually working with one of the world’s most renowned private islands, Josh’s journey has been, unusual to say the least.
Fueled by his yearning for awakening, his story is about embracing disillusionment as the pathway to enlightenment.
Josh currently lives on the island of Tahiti with his wife and youngest son.
