More About This Keynote

Contemporary life seems to be permeated by a profound sense of disconnection, personal isolation, and social fragmentation, even for those with families and long-term relationships. Explore the critical need for a profound shift away from our individual orientation--the “I and me”--to a deeper consciousness of the relational context--the “we and us”--in which we discover our true self in our experience of intimate connection.
