So excited to participate in this summit. I bought the book Destructive Emotions when it came out to understand my mother’s mental illness. It has been a light to understand our emotions.

Deep gratitude for conducting a meaningful and insightful summit as this, in these trying times of a global pandemic. With the wave of emotional tsunami engulfing the world, training our minds to recognise and appreciate positivity and practice positive emotions such as empathy, compassion, and use the power of emotional intelligence in our social interactions to spread joy in the world, is definitely the need of the day.
Thankyou….

Hi, Tess from Antioch, CA
I have been waiting 10 years for this; when we start teaching our children how to use their inherent compass to orient themselves and to teach them how to feel safe and to trust in their inner navigation; and in their love to others, also to themselves. This is the only way we can amend the alarming numbers of cases of youth-depression world wide, even amongst smaller children. It is also indicative that we bring the true meaning of humanity back on the agenda in the times of this pandemic, also a time where human kind has been able to sit back and watch the true devastation we are causing to nature and our surrounding! For what is the true meaning and the enormous potential of humanity if it isn’t informed inner navigation and acts of compassion? This is how we build a better future.
Nanc, hoping true happiness is something we can change and therefore modify.

Greetings. This is Garth Lehman from Lexington, Kentucky. Thanks so much for presenting this program. Working with the mental states and the emotions is so vital to the well-being of the world. I have been involved with mediation practice in one way or another for the past 60 years, and it continues to be an on-going challenge as well as a delightful journey. My hope is that these presentations will reach many people who are struggling.
So happy to have the opportunity to participate in this summit from my home on Vancouver Island, Canada
Thank you for all your efforts, I hope you do not mind that what I miss 100% was that I did not hear anything as deep as Matthew Fox’s Creative Spirituality.
