Guillaume the Seeker

“Just being the seeker, somebody whose open to spiritual enlightenment, is in itself the important thing and it's the reward for being a seeker in this world.” Walter Isaacson
Guillaume completely transformed his life to focus on finding personal fulfillment and happiness. Through taking a risk and leaving behind a successful and lucrative career in the corporate world, Guillaume embarked on a journey of self-exploration and meditation that took him from working with Mother Teresa’s mission in India, to the jungles of Peru in search of finding meaning in life and fulfillment beyond the material demands of society today. Through seeking to transform his own life to live with a higher purpose, Guillaume made a life-changing commitment to helping others in their search for peace, harmony and happiness.
