Once Barron hit 18, he could not leave Nowra fast enough. Over the next few years he travelled the world ending up in New York as a documentary film maker. The fast pace of New York soon caught up and it's there that he discovered meditation that led him to eventually becoming a Vedic Meditation teacher. Some research into meditators in Washington in the 70's decreasing the crime levels was his inspiration to combine his 2 loves - meditation and film making to create a Happiness Project in Nowra.
