Meditating on Death
Meditating on Death
Les & Hoa
Amidst the daily demands of our hustle and bustle lives, we often forget to “zoom out” and take the time to reflect on what is really important in life. Meditating on Death is a podcast hosted by two friends, Les and Hoa, that explores how various topics contribute to our lives in the big picture, the grand scheme of things, whilst playing and finding humor along the way. To meditate on death is an expression to remind ourselves to live a life putting things into perspective and prioritizing activities that bring us long-lasting joy, meaning, and fulfillment. If you like casual conversations filled with boisterous banter and soul-searching sentiments, practice meditating on death with us! Original music by Ji Productions. Get in touch with us at [email protected]!
