How can we learn how to navigate toward “Hope” even when we are experiencing feelings of “Despair”?
In this session, we focused our conversation on the theme of Hope, exploring in a vibrant community conversation how Hope and Despair relate, and how taking action helps us raise our vibration and frequency, lifting us from the depths of despair and allowing us to dare to feel hope.
What action steps can we take to help us do this? One way is to connect in with nature and with our creativity, which is why Living Whole Online’s Integrative Whole Health approach includes Art, Music, Writing, Photography, Filmmaking and Energy Practices.
Musician and composer Bill Shontz shares his insights, especially about musical improvisation, offering us music from his instruments and with his voice (and our voices). Participants share their experiences and thoughts, and LWO Founder Kathryn Hayward, MD describes trauma research that supports a strategy of taking action.
Bill opens our session by bathing us in wooden flute sounds while we experience Jin Shin Jyutsu finger holds and mindful breathing. Bill closes the session with some beautiful sing-a-long songs from his extensive body of original music.
