This episode, I chat with a new teacher of mine, from a course called “Healing from Presence,” Riyaz Motan. We talk about relating from an embodied, being-at-home place, and the many wonders and pitfalls of working, and ultimately being, with others. Find Riyaz’s work, and sign up for his newsletter, at his website . I also allude to with Pico Iyer and Elizabeth Gilbert.

info_outlineI started following Ryan's page on Instagram. I was nearly immediately put on edge by some of his posts. He, at least a lot at that time, was playing a bit of a villain, challenging me and anyone else reading to put ourselves out there in a way I'd been, and to a large extent still am, uncomfortable with.
This episode is really about communication, how we talk to ourselves and others alike. It's a challenge to find the passion in the work you're doing.

Blessings, LB
ps he swears a lot and I have no beep'r
