This reality begs the question: How do we cultivate a spirit and a practice of generosity? Today we will explore how to increase kind giving … Continue reading Generosity, Embodied
Have you ever done something just because that’s the way you have always done it? Individuals, organizations, families… we all do certain things because we always have – heck, it’s tradition! Tradition is comforting, meaningful and powerful. Tradition is having a culture and background to be proud of and feel comforted by: it’s having the … Continue reading Tradition, Tradition!
