Talk Description
How many of us actually tune in to our internal and external environments? And how many of us are moving through each day, but not really present in our own experiences? “The now” is a mysterious, complex piece of time we all struggle with. And yet, we are all connected to one another in this very moment. Is “the now” life? And if it is, and we are not fully present, are we truly living?
