How Gurudev's Breath & Human Values Heal Conflict Zones | Filiz Odabas-Geldiay

For over four decades, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has been proving that peace is not an idea, it is a capacity. His breathing and meditation techniques have reached veterans, prisoners, former gang members, Yazidi survivors, and Iraqi widows, often in places almost every other NGO had already left. In this episode, Filiz Odabas-Geldiay, Executive Director of the International Association for Human Values and a longtime collaborator with Gurudev, shares what it has been like to carry his vision into the world's hardest places: traveling into Iraq's red zone, the Yazidi delegation that walked in sobbing and changed everything, and the overnight press release that put their crisis on the world's radar. She also opens up about the fibromyalgia that first led her to Gurudev, a witnessing experience that confirmed her path, and why her greatest advice is to stop taking it easy, and take it hard.
