[0:00] Hello.
[0:03] Welcome.
[0:04] >> Thank you.
[0:07] So,
[0:08] hi.
[0:09] >> Hi.
[0:10] >> I discovered you about 2 weeks ago.
[0:12] >> Is that right? There are several people
[0:14] here who discovered you within
[0:15] [laughter] the last month.
[0:17] >> I
[0:18] >> Very courageous of you to come to a
[0:19] retreat someone you just discovered.
[0:21] >> Yeah, I was like, I'll have what he's
[0:23] having.
[0:24] >> [laughter]
[0:25] >> Um
[0:27] I was tangled in a knot and a friend
[0:29] sent me a podcast that you were on.
[0:31] >> Mhm.
[0:32] >> And I listened and it changed.
[0:35] >> Mhm.
[0:35] >> And then like
[0:37] a maybe 3 days ago I booked this
[0:40] retreat.
[0:40] >> Wow.
[0:41] Nice.
[0:42] >> And I felt so strongly pulled.
[0:46] >> Mhm.
[0:47] >> And
[0:50] I I kind of think I
[0:53] maybe got a taste of what you're having.
[0:55] >> Uh-huh.
[0:56] >> I after I or while I was listening, I
[0:59] was walking to teach a yoga class and I
[1:01] live in New York City and
[1:02] >> Mhm.
[1:03] >> like
[1:06] I was seeing everything differently.
[1:09] >> Mhm.
[1:09] >> And it was really beautiful and that
[1:12] tangle was coming undone.
[1:14] >> Nice.
[1:16] >> And I'm really grateful.
[1:18] >> Mhm.
[1:20] >> Thank you.
[1:20] >> You're welcome.
[1:21] >> I really am touched by what you're doing
[1:25] in the world.
[1:26] >> Mhm.
[1:28] Yeah, my pleasure.
[1:34] I was touched by someone that 29 years
[1:36] ago in the same way through a book.
[1:39] >> Yeah.
[1:40] >> So, yeah, it's pretty wild how it
[1:42] happens.
[1:45] >> Yeah, so
[1:49] I have a question before the question of
[1:51] like how to ask a skillful question in
[1:54] this context. Cuz yesterday I was like
[1:56] desperate to talk with you.
[1:58] >> Mhm.
[1:59] >> And the texture of the conversation
[2:02] probably would have been totally
[2:04] different. I
[2:06] I used to have get these little tins of
[2:09] mints, enlightenment mints.
