Every Journey Matters – Episode 11 with Jem Fredhamn, Hosted by Avanti Bammanhalli

Episode 11 of Every Journey Matters, hosted by Avanti Bammanhalli, founder of Conscious Together, explores a question many of us wrestle with: How can we slow down to speed up? How do we stay centered while navigating the growing demands for financial security and stability?

Joining Avanti in this insightful conversation is Jem Fredhamn, a former jurist lawyer who spent 18 years as a monk in the Plum Village Community. His years in a purpose-driven environment taught him the value of connection, mindfulness, and emotional resilience wisdom he now shares with those balancing the demands of work, family, and personal growth.

Through his company, Golden Path https://goldenpath.se/, Jem offers Buddhist teachings and in-person mentoring events. His approach provides practical tools for handling emotions such as anger and fear, grounded in Plum Village–based practices like mindful breathing, compassionate listening, and present-moment awareness.

These methods not only help individuals manage life’s pressures but also cultivate deeper presence, empathy, and trust—principles that align closely with Avanti’s mission at Conscious Together.

🏆 As Jem reminds us, a happy life is built on meaningful relationships, purpose, resilience, presence, and generosity—even in the midst of everyday challenges.
