Ep 9: What Lessons Does This Pandemic Teach Us?

In this episode, Leslieann invites us to consider what we might learn from this quarantine experience. How can we grow from this global moment in time? Eckhart Tolle reminds us to be present in the NOW – that the past is a longing for something we used to have and the future is an imagined outcome. There is nothing real but the present moment. So how can we be present in the age of self-isolation and social distancing when we are distracted by fear? How can we turn our focus to getting centered and being present in the now? // Hafiz’s poem“What Do White Birds Say”; films referred: “A League of Her Own”, “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”; Leslieann Hobayan's “Shopping in the Pandemic” (work-in-progress) // California retreat (Aug 5-9, 2020) info: suryagian.com/petaluma-retreat (YES!
