More than just cleaning, we unpack all aspects of the spirit of the 'Kondo Method' which goes further than just cleaning up. We discuss concepts around what items in your environment spark joy, restoring balance in your personal space, letting go of the past and not staying fearful of the future and the deeper meanings of the connections we have with our possessions. Whilst looking at the wider implications of a balanced environment and how tidying can harness our decision making ability and our ability to listen to our intuition about what's important in our lives.

Hope you enjoy.
