Bassam’s Story
From Fashion To Self-Realisation
dBassam’ life has been about trust and stepping into service. The first half entailed building resilience through hardship and trial – apathy, scarcity, doubt, disappointment and fear, and the second half has been about setting foundations for sharing the insights accrued over the past 35 years.
Glimpse Of The Past
Born and raised in war-torn Lebanon of the 70’s, Bassam’s family immigrated to live in the west when he was 12. As a teenager he grappled with PTSD, and ethnicity issues related to the challenges of adjusting to a new life in Australia.
Bassam’s world opened up when he discovered spirituality in books at17, igniting in him a passion for personal development and spiritual realisation.
Over the coming years, daily meditation practice guided him on a transformative journey of healing, recovery, and progressive self realisation.
A Career In Fashion
At 19 an unlikely career in fashion as a model was spawned, when a photographer took photos of Bassam, suggesting he take them to Chadwick’s Models.
Over the next 20+ years Bassam lived and worked in the fashion capitals of the world. Throughout, meditation helped him stay grounded.
Certifications And Experience
It was around 2000, that Bassam’s transition from fashion to his calling as a meditation teacher started when a friend asked him for instruction. Others soon followed, looking to balance their lives and tap into their inner wisdom
To give legitimacy to his fledgling but growing career, Bassam spent the next 10 years getting certified in various modalities, including holistic counselling, solution-focused life coaching, corporate coaching clinic facilitation (CCF), rebirthing breathwork therapy, and mental health first aid instruction (MHFAI).
90+ Workshops & Retreats In 20 Countries
Bassam has since had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life, and facilitating over 90 holistic empowerment workshops and retreats in 20 countries.

Testimonials
Bassam was a turning point in my personal and professional career. I did rebirthing and two cycles of the 21 day YouVolution. It feels so good how rewarding the process of positivity and gratitude can be. I speak from the heart when I say that both these practices, Rebirthing and YouVolution, are great tools for boosting one’s love for life, passion for work and self discovery. 4 years ago I had cancer and Bassam helped me to understand several things about my life and my relations with others. I highly recommend Bassam’s work to anyone who is ready to to explore their potential.
Thank you for such an amazing course, Bassam. What an eye opener! I had an incredible experience and truly enjoyed the learning. Ever grateful.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it was what I needed. Thank you. And you have such a profound, warm, playful and inspiring energy.
I’ve been trying to meditate for three years with little success. I thought I knew how to meditate, for years. With Bassam, I learned to be ‘in meditation’. I started one of your courses and something struck me strait away, that here was someone who spoke from a position of knowing. The instructions were clear and simple and I was able to judge my progress with each session. I highly recommend your courses to anyone who feels they cant “get” meditation.
I absolutely loved the course. Your work is so deep, and has helped me to connect more intimately with myself. Much darkness has been shed.
Thank you for such an amazing course, Bassam. What an eye opener! I had an incredible experience and truly enjoyed the learning. Ever grateful.
