In this episode, we had the privilege to interview Australian-born Educator, Creatress and Holistic Counsellor of mixed Indonesian/European ancestry Amalya Kharisma, also known as Kharisma Ra. 

Like many of us, Amalya tried to “climb the ladder” for almost 7 years within the market research industry but didn’t feel at all aligned with the corporate world and decided to take off to India for a trip that would change her life.

Amalya holds a B.Arts in English and Theatre & Performance Studies, a Graduate Diploma of Counselling, and a Certificate in Mindfulness, and has also spent much of her time informally studying ways of being & healing, which we discuss at length in this episode. 

We also explored: 

• Her upbringing in Australia where she often felt like an outcast growing up in Sydney,
• How her dad’s spirituality influenced her journey of self-discovery, 
• How does she try to find balance between the East and West in both her personal and professional life? 
• What is a spiritual consultant, 
• Her understanding of dancing and connecting to the music as an act of listening to a deeper part of oneself, 
• About creative expression and the fact that many of us today are missing the creative natural connection to the universe and to nature,
• What has travelling meant to her and what kind of impact has it had on her life.
