Talk with Keshab

Most of what is here is for reading on your own, in your own time. Sometimes a question needs a person. If you would like to talk something through with me, in private, you can book a conversation.

I am a practitioner and a curator of these traditions, not a guru, and I will not pretend to be one. What I can offer is attention, honesty and a different place to stand. Spiritual conversation does not fix everything, but it changes the perspective from which a problem is seen, and often that is what was needed.

How it works

1. Book a time. The booking page shows times in your own time zone. Payment is taken when you book.
2. Tell me what you want to talk about. The booking form asks for a few lines: a decision, a loss, a practice that has gone dry, a question you keep returning to. A few honest sentences are enough.
3. I read it before we meet. So we start where it matters, not with introductions.
4. We talk for 45 minutes, by video. No slides, no script. You lead; I listen, ask and offer what the traditions have to say.

What it is, and what it is not

It is a conversation through the lens of the traditions this site draws on: Vedic, Buddhist, contemplative Christian, Sufi. It is a chance to be heard without being managed, and to look at a familiar question from somewhere new.

It is not therapy, counselling or treatment, and not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. It is not a reading or a prediction. If what you describe needs a professional, I will say so. Visa and migration questions are my professional work and belong at WIDEN, where they are regulated and priced separately.

Questions

Who is this for?

Anyone who wants to think something through with a person rather than a page: a decision you keep circling, a loss, a practice that has gone dry, a question about how to live. You do not need to follow any tradition, and you do not need an account here.

What happens when I book?

You choose a time, pay, and write a few lines about what you want to talk about. I read them before we meet, so we start where it matters. The session is 45 minutes by video; the link is in your confirmation email.

What if, after reading my note, you cannot help?

I will say so before we meet and refund you in full. I would rather lose a booking than waste your hour.

Is this therapy, counselling or advice?

No. It is a conversation, through the lens of the traditions this site draws on. It is not a substitute for medical, psychological, legal or financial help, and I will say so if what you describe needs one of those. If you are in crisis, in Australia call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or 000.

I have a visa or migration question.

That is my professional work and it belongs at WIDEN, where it is regulated and priced separately. Please book there: widen.com.au/consultation.

Can I reschedule?

Yes, from the link in your confirmation email, up to 24 hours before. Times are shown in your own time zone; I am in Sydney.

Everything else on One Source Sangha stays free to read. Membership, the companion, the study hall and the community are unchanged; this page is simply a door for those who want to talk.
