Philip Shepherd’s life can best be described as “outside of the box”. At 18, he left his native Canada to cycle alone from Europe to India, intent on immersing himself in exotic cultures. Shepherd’s exploits took him to some unexpected places: from star-filled nights in the Great Syrian Desert to Japan, where he studied classical Noh Theater. Along the way he experienced countless ways of living unlike anything he had known in Canada.

As he absorbed the lessons he learned from those different cultures, Shepherd began applying those principles to aspects of Western culture that are generally accepted as “normal”. The insights he gained left him more connected with his life, more open to the present, and more clearly grounded in his purpose than ever before.

Philip is the Author of New Self, New World.

PPI had a niche market in home parties art. With an extensive 5000 piece inventory of images, their 52,000 sq foot building needed organization, redesign and clearing. Reorganization of 5000 images subsequently barcoded provided production and operational flow. Implemented teachings of Wabi Sabi, Feng Shui, Vatsu and space clearing were used to create a peaceful environment for staff and customers.

When PPI decided to condense from 52,000 sq ft to 10,000, liquidation of all machinery (compressors, saws, laminating equipment, bulk paper cutters, nailers) warehouse materials (shelving, pallet racking, pallet jacks) business equipment (photo copiers, cubicles, books, office supplies) furniture and fixtures; a task which was to completed in 12 weeks netting PPI half of the profits of original price paid. Items that did not sell were collaborated with local schools, and charities to make donations.
