There’s a deep sense of belonging, of unity, and of shared purpose. We have a clearer vision of the future, a reaffirmation, along with a certainty: together, we are making the world flourish ??, moving from separation to unity and coming back home. ?? They say love by itself is nothing, but nothing can exist without it. ?? And little by little, in the conversations and the sparkling eyes, in the tears, the sighs, and the goosebumps... in the sorrow and the excitement, in the laughter and the discomfort... in dance, in silence, in togetherness and in solitude... we meet. Finding ourselves again in the vastness of the “other,” in the imperfect perfection of existence. ?? We want to fuel this momentum by sharing again our first 18 episodes. We say they are also direct transmissions ?? Re-fuel, enjoy, share! ????? ???
