Sources of Connected Strength with Greta Bro

When the world around us is on overdrive and we are working to make positive change, we can end up in overdrive - and overwhelm. This episode explores how we can find strength and balance through connection with healers, meditation, and the spiritual path. My guest is Greta Bro, a psycho-spiritual guide who I worked with; she coached me to mimic nature’s cycles with times of action and growth and times of rest and stillness. Part of why we get over-busy is to avoid feeling. Working with a  healer or therapist can allow us to be with the feelings. We also explore the power of mindfulness meditation and the incredible experiences and realizations that unfolded when I did a 7-day silent retreat. Greta is a singer-songwriter so this one also includes some of her music.
