SOUL SEEKER SPOTLIGHT: Meet @drshivchande ✨

We first crossed paths with Shiv during our community yoga in the park. From that very first session, his journey, warmth, and dedication to personal growth completely inspired us.

We’re beyond grateful to have him as part of our community and so excited for the future because we have some very special collaborations in the works 🫂 taken in London, England by @drshivchande

In 2017, I had a panic attack in front of a room full of senior doctors.

After years of doing everything “right”… that moment changed everything.

Because behind the success was stress, pressure, and inner chaos.
And I realised even the top performers were feeling it too.

That’s what led me to breathwork, meditation, and nervous system work…
things I was never taught as a doctor.

It changed how I think, work, and live.

Now I help founders create clarity, energy, and momentum without burning out.

Immortalising a moment of fascination. 🌕

A few weeks ago, I experienced one of the most profound evenings in memory. Walking beneath a rare lunar double rainbow, surrounded by towering trees, with dew shimmering like diamonds crusted across the grass. It was one of those moments you wish you capture forever.

And today, by describing that memory to AI, I am able to bring it back to life.

There’s a lot of necessary conversation about what we should fear about artificial intelligence. But there’s extraordinary possibility too.

I’ve been reflecting on how the reality we create is shaped by the consciousness, intentions and values we bring to it. If we believe the World is hostile, hostility is what we will see. If we believe it to be fundamentally good, it changes the lens, filters the good and perpetuates the belief.

Our relationship with AI is no different.

The question isn’t just what AI will become. It’s who we choose to be as we create with it. It’s all an inner game. by @drshivchande

It was so exciting to get together in a room with collaborators, and attendees at the Beyond the day job day retreat that Shiv and I hosted a week or two ago.

It’s incredible how we all exist in our individual silos, and how comparable our experiences can be when we get together.

There was so much connection, enthusiasm, laughter, encouragement, honesty in that one room - it felt like we’d known each other for years. We’re now in the exciting stage of designing next steps.

What would you like to see? 👀

Last Saturday’s day retreat was just that - a treat. Self-discovery, connection, learning, great food, movement, lots of laughs, collaboration. Loved it. Can’t wait for the next one. And thank you so much co-creators Shiv Chande, Yo-Yu, and everyone who gave their time and expertise so generously: Derek, Daniel, Sara, Hanae, we are soulseekers, Theo. 🫶🏼

“The opposite of loneliness isn’t company. It’s intimacy.”

There’s a strange loneliness to building something.

You can spend your days surrounded by people, meetings and messages - and still rarely talk about what’s actually going on.

The doubt behind the conviction. What isn’t working.
What you’re dreaming of building next.

Or: what the hell am I doing?

So last week, Megan, Alice, Abrar and I tried something different. We brought a group of founders around a dinner table.

Not for performative networking. For good food, and a few carefully chosen questions. Then let the evening unfold.

It didn’t take long for strangers to stop feeling like strangers. Ideas were shared. There was laughter, vulnerability and a sense of companionship.

It reminded me that founders don’t need another room full of contacts. Sometimes, they need a room where they can connect at depth.

Maybe the opposite of loneliness isn’t company. Maybe it’s being understood.

We’re creating more tables like this.

If you’re building something you care deeply about, and this sounds like your kind of room, apply to join us via the link in @wearesoulseekers_ bio. by @drshivchande

Messing around with good people. I used to party in the nights now I party in the mornings 😂.

Music. Movement. Play.

Special mention to @gizellerenee for supplying the sumptuous cacao.

And somewhere in the middle of all that, a surprising amount of clarity appeared.

When did you last give yourself a whole day to step out of the noise and think about what you actually want next?

Most of us are so busy working, reacting and keeping up that we rarely create the space for real clarity to emerge.

Beyond the Day Job is a one-day gathering to pause, reconnect and get clearer about what you want from the next chapter of your life and work.

We’ve curated a day designed to help you do exactly that:

🧘 Yoga with @wearesoulseekers_
🔥 Fireside conversations with @danielconneelymeditation, @beyondthebleepuk & @drderekadu
🎶 Sound bath with @hanaeharmony
🥗 Nourishing food, music and plenty of space to connect with a small room of curious people from different walks of life.

Previous guests have given our retreats 5 stars and said:

⭐️ “Genuinely one of the most powerful experiences I’ve ever had.”

⭐️ “It was a great time to reflect on things we don’t ask ourselves enough.”

📍 OmNom, Islington, London
📅 Saturday 12th September
🕙 10am–5pm
👥 Just 20 places
🌱 Not-for-profit

It’s been a while since we’ve run one of these gatherings, but they’ve always felt incredibly special — so we knew it was time to create another.

If you’ve been craving some space to zoom out, reconnect and get intentional about what comes next, come and join us.

When did you last give yourself a whole day to seriously think about what you want next?

Most of us are moving so fast - working, reacting, keeping up - that we rarely create enough space for real clarity to emerge.

Beyond the Day Job is a one-day gathering designed to change that.

A day to step off the conveyor belt, regulate, reconnect with yourself and get clearer about what you want from the next chapter of your life and work.

There’ll be movement, sound, music, nourishing food and cracking conversations with inspiring people who’ve taken interesting paths through life, all in a small room of curious people from different walks of life.

It’s been a while since we’ve run one of these gatherings, but they’ve always been incredibly special. So we’re doing it again.

Not-for-profit. Just 20 places.

If you’ve been feeling like you need some space to zoom out and work out what’s next, this day is for you.

👉 Book your place via the link in bio.

One simple practice for today:

Notice a thought as a thought.

Not a fact. Not a command. Not the ultimate truth.

Just a conditioned pattern passing through the mind.

That tiny shift creates space.

Space between the thought and the reaction.

You don’t need to stop thinking.

You just need to stop believing every thought deserves the steering wheel.

Comment “PODCAST” and I’ll send you the full episode.

We’re bringing together a small group of founders for an evening of real, honest conversation in Central London on 8th September - the highs, the lows, and everything in between of building something from scratch.

We know the founder journey can be hard and lonely, but this is a community built to support you along the way. Sometimes one connection is all it takes to change everything.

With a strong lineup already, we are opening up 2–3 more spots to anyone in the creative, community and wellbeing space.

Just starting out or a few years into building? If you’re up for sharing what you’ve learned and hearing from others doing the same, we’d love to have you at the table.

Can’t make the 8th? Apply anyway - we’re planning to run this as an ongoing series and would love to keep you in mind for a future date.

Application form is in our bio - spots are limited to keep it intimate.
