Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gyani Richards, Grief Companion: Your Guide Through the Terrain of Loss
Q: At the time, did you or your family have a tradition when grief first hit, and did it help you?
Richards explains there was little guiding religion in his family, so there was a vacuum that grief filled through personal exploration and later through engagement with multiple spiritual traditions.
Cultivating Aliveness with Kate Manser
Q: You might die tomorrow. When you first started, how did you approach people in a way that they wouldn't run away? Or did you just figure if somebody stays, they're the right person?
Many people did run away, but I was unabashed and on fire with the idea; as I shared it more, people would come back later and say they finally understood and started living differently.
