My Story | The Seekers

Welcome, fellow seeker.

I’ve always been a seeker, drawn to the deeper currents of life. For years, I practiced Social Work - holding space for others, helping them navigate their own storms. But somewhere along the way, life shifted. Midlife crept in quietly, not with drama, but with a slow, aching sense of disconnection. The spark dimmed. Joy felt distant. I found myself restless, suffocating in a life that felt too small for the spirit within me. So I wandered. I traveled - near and far - chasing something I couldn’t quite name. But each time I returned, the same emptiness greeted me. The adventures made for good stories, sure, but they didn’t touch the core of what I was truly seeking.

That haunting question echoed louder: Is this really all there is?

I realized I was no longer living at the center of my own story. I was watching from the sidelines, longing to step back into the vibrant, soul-stirring experience that life can be. Something inside me stirred - a quiet but powerful yearning to grow, to connect, to rediscover the mystery and beauty that still exists all around us.

And then it hit me: this quiet ache isn’t mine alone. It belongs to so many of us navigating midlife, wondering where the magic went.

I turned to the wisdom of Eckhart Tolle, Maya Angelou, Etty Hillesum, Fr. Richard Rohr, Alan Watts, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin… Their words reminded me: the mystery is still here. The joy is still possible. We just have to seek it.

That’s how The Seekers began.

I’m not a guru. I don’t have shiny titles or grand promises. I’m simply a fellow traveler, offering what I’ve gathered along the way. If any part of this resonates with you, I invite you to walk with me. If not now, maybe later. This space will always be here - open, warm, and waiting.

Thank you for being here.

With warmth and wonder,

Binu Sebastian, The Seeker
