Such a useful and heart warming talk. Lots of helpful ideas and insights into how to cultivate resilience. Also a good reminder that ‘we’ rather than ‘I’ is the truth of a happy existence and getting through tough times. I am going to look into the ‘Wheel of Awareness’ sounds a great resource.
Many thanks to both speakers.
