The Man (and Mo) behind Movember

Before that very first moustache changed everything back in 2003, Travis Garone was a creative who quickly made a name for himself doing what he loved - bringing artistic concepts to life for youth-driven surfing, skateboarding and music brands.
So: not only is he the mastermind behind one of the world’s biggest charity movements, but he’s pretty much the coolest guy on earth too. Great. Leave some for the rest of us.
We got chatty with Travis on Anything But Square, the Fed Square podcast. Lend us your ears.

Lunchtime Meditation - What is Mindfulness
Wednesday Oct 14, 2020
Wednesday Oct 14, 2020
As part of the “Anything but Square” podcast, Fed Square & Kadampa Meditation Centre Australia present a new series, consisting of 5 episodes, providing impactful meditation session for the Melbourne community.
These days mindfulness is big business, but it is nothing new! Core to Buddhist practice, mindfulness is simply a part of the mind that enables us to hold onto things – to remember. When we can hold positive, peaceful thoughts - through mindfulness – we’re less stressed, more productive, happier people. In this session Gen Dornying will explain mindfulness without the mystery.
Each session will be focussed on an individual theme to improve mindfulness and promote inner peace. The series will be made in tandem with the Lunchtime Meditation livestream, hosted on the Fed Square website, every Tuesday.
