Mastering Extraordinary: The Art of Engaged Enlightenment
The only thing that keeps any of us from enlightenment is our own thoughts. Believing is seeing. In this workshop, we delve deeply into our own mental landscape and explore it like pioneers.

We learn how to speak from our core. In this work, we use poetry,…
