Mark Groves Interviews Gangaji

Gangaji Community

Mark Groves

Mark Groves calls himself a "human connection specialist." He is the founder of Create The Love, and host of the Mark Groves Podcast. In the midst of huge personal crisis Mark stumbled across Gangaji's Podcast. This lead him on a deep inner journey which landed him in retreat with Gangaji in Hawaii just before the pandemic unfolded.

In 2021 Mark interviewed Gangaji for his podcast. Their conversation ranges from current events, silence, the call to sobriety, and how to take responsibility for your own narrative.

“This is your resting place, your watering hole. Find what supports you, what includes you, and drink it in. Be nourished. Be enlivened. And when you feel thirsty again, drink some more.” —Gangaji
