What if our possessions are actually a distraction, covering up things we'd rather not see? And what happens when we let go of much of that stuff?The Void Project shares personal stories about real journeys of discovery. We talk with people who pared down. They share their experiences, the lessons they learned, and some of the wonders that resulted. Without glossing over the bumpy bits. Ten lives. Ten conversations. Ten people who did if for themselves or for others.

Sasha’s observations about what she is realizing about her values helped me notice what I value. Look forward to listening to more!
