David Kopacz and Suzanne Richman---The Call/The Invitation Part 3/3
22/05/2020 Duração: 19minDavid and Suzanne continue their moving discussion around 'doing better than rushing to return to normal' after things shift once again with COVID 19.

David Kopacz and Suzanne Richman: The Call/The Invitation Part 2/3
21/05/2020 Duração: 18minDavid and Suzanne do some wrestling for us in this episode: The push to 'return to normal' after a stretch of chaos. *What could we miss as a people, a nation, a world? *What questions could we be asking of ourselves right now, and one another? *What gems could be squandered if we skip past this pause before the return? Their thoughts will cause you to slow your pace and move ahead with more intention and quite possibly in a different direction. Listening to them share is very centering. And probably something you will want to repeat! Enjoy~ -------------------------------------------------- David Kopacz is a psychiatrist, a painter and an author.

20/05/2020 Duração: 17minThe Call/The Invitation: *What happens if we did something better? *Better than return to what was before COVID 19? *What if we slowed the rush to return?
