Good afternoon and good morning. I'm Glenn Brooks. Wonderful having you with us today. So vibrancy.

Vibrancy. I really know exactly what vibrancy was. I discovered it on my paper round. I discovered by listening to people and noticing their eyes and their breath.

I can feel like people would read differently when I asked them certain questions. My parents had one thing to say to me pretty much is when you're getting another job. But really what was happening was listening to people. I was listening to people and I was really curious.

I was really curious. The closest person in my life had passed away. My grandfather. I didn't know what to do.

I was sort of like a dark horse. I was moving to something. We saw that I would meet someone and say something to me and it would ring at a deeper level. So I'm saying to you that personally you're not the target.

It seems in the world we're like a target of so much. So vibrancy is that thing in you that's beyond the counterfeit. It's alive. I want to welcome a Olivia Levy, a new vibrant living team member.

She was incredible in the Northeast Kingdom. Hi, hi, hi. Hello. We're talking about vibrant retreats.

I'm going to get into that a little bit. Lisa LaRosa is my long-term family member. And no matter what I say, you do she loves and appreciates me. Yet once again, thank you, Lisa, for producing and being behind the scenes.

Oh, she reminded me to do practical things. Thank you. You're welcome. You're very, very welcome.

Ariel, who was kidnapped yesterday at 4 o'clock. But the Jewish Secret Service and other people found him, he's back safely being the producer of the vibrant producer in New York. I'm glad you're good. Welcome back.

Welcome forward. Thank you. Good. Good.

You know, trusting from one breath to the next is the most valuable thing we can do sometimes. No matter what's happening, just knowing it's going to be okay. At the next breath, it actually cause another breath is coming. I like to walk around hyperventilation.

I was telling Lisa this morning that if one of the first things I did was study the breath and with some unusual people, but I started to realize the whole story I realized is in our breath and now I realize it's in our relational breath, how we breathe together. Or in Hawaiian terms, they call this the Ohana, which is a family that breathes together. Nate Hughes, the wild man entrepreneur out of the Catskills, consultant to retreat centers, owner of this amazing chocolate company. I'll call it medicinal chocolate, one to chocolate.

Nate, it's wonderful having you here today. I think you're here today. Are you there, Nate? Okay.

I got to practice introducing Nate. We had a purpose. I was talking to Louie this morning about retreats and the company's thinking about retreats. Retreats, retreats, retreats.

So coming between my paper and other things in life, I met a man who owned it in the Hamptons. I want you to pay attention to something in your life right now that you love and enjoy expressing and doing is really your doing away for turning your vocation into your vacation. How do you turn your vocation into vacation? Part of what it is to start to study what's kind of precious and moving to you.

Sometimes we don't even know that until we slow down. So the first thing is one of your practices is to slow down. I developed something called the vibrant living challenge so that we could all have these practices together. So one of the practices in relation to how to turn your vocation into vacation is moments of slowness.

So for instance, when you get in your car, I just want you to take moments where you slow down and you exhale because hurries are a short sign of poverty. But something that happens when we do this as a group. So when I was talking about this morning, when I was probably 21, 22, I met a man owned this week, this center, this in the Hamptons. And he invited me because at the time, all I really enjoyed doing it, I really got fascinated with this idea of vibrant education.

I got fascinated. Why was it that some people, they were alive and they moved well and breathed well and couples. It was like I was just other whole life. They didn't talk about it in school.

And I thought, how can I, on some level, I missed that. So turning your vocation into your vacation is a study that's worth such value. There was a man wrote a book called Twice in a Lifetime. He discovered what he loved to do with 80.

And he said he breathed differently and moved differently. So Olivia, let's go you because you asked me that question. We talked about it. You asked us why we treat it.

Spricker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. Right. So bring that conversation up again. I love that you said that.

Well, I was curious. What is the retreat? What's the definition of a retreat? So I've now seen it in marketing and so forth.

And it didn't sound wonderful. But to be honest with you, I wasn't quite until I spoke to you this morning. I was not quite sure exactly what a retreat was. And you, that's where the conversation began.

I was a little bit nervous. I was a little bit nervous. I was a little bit nervous. I was not quite sure exactly what a retreat was.

And you, that's where the conversation began. And then just, you know, you elaborated, I should say. Do you want to say what you said? Or am I going to be pop quiz on it?

Well, I thought you would. You would roll me. Well, you know, I said to you, there's forwarding and retreat. Some people need forwarding.

Some people need a combination of forwarding and retreats. And what I mean by forwarding is sometimes they move to move forward in a different way. So let's see. So retreats.

You know, retreats are this idea that we kind of, there's retreating without collapsing. Sometimes people are going to go in the collapse. But my, my experience of retreats was that it's a place that you go a third space, by the way, a third space. It's a place that's different than worker home.

That you go to discover a new level of vitality and revitalization and rejuvenation, relationally. In other words, as human beings, we learn through other human beings. And so, oh, Marisha said to me so brilliantly this morning, when I, we learn, we learn through other human beings. So at a retreat center or, you know, when people would come to see me and I just had someone just come.

The first thing I would do is I'd always meet them and this is how I mean you connected. I would meet them where we had woods around us at the ocean or we had, we were in close proximity to Asana, a heated to venue. Just like in Finland, they had business meetings in Asana. So, so retreating.

So what's interesting about retreating is that it's a third place that you meet. I like to do things in nature. And I take people beyond, beyond the regular world, beyond the world that they, that see a lot of people see stresses of the issue. It's actually distress.

It's not stress. Because you can be very excited to be stressed. It's more, it's more of a feeling you're able to do something with the overwhelming. So when I, when I designed retreats and now particularly, to retreats all about releasing the sense of overwhelm.

So you could discover the original impulse, the impulse that's in you right now that moves you, that breathes you, that wonder, that wonderment that's there. So the thing in life now, unless you get another country, a lot of, unfortunately, a lot of people are so overwhelmed that they're moved by emergency to emergency. So I see as a retreat as a place, a third place that you go to, to revitalize, to regenerate and to breathe together. By the way, people are much better when they breathe together.

And when I work with groups of people and they breathe together, I'll at least say something about this, at least the travels. What would you say about your experience of retreats and the third place, Lisa? When I retreat, I like to go to a place where I can completely decompress and regenerate every part of me, you know, to really detach. My world is pretty hectic.

And so for me to be able to go into that space where I could breathe deeply and nurture myself with really great food and just empty myself, empty my mind and just be at one with the experience of the people that I meet at wherever my destination is and just really experience and breathe in the environment that's around me. Whether it's, you know, to Thailand, everywhere in South America, all over the globe, I've headed off to Los Angeles. But when you get into that space of being around the environment that you set yourself in, it really nurtures every part of you when you allow it to do that. It's interesting.

Some people's idea of a vacation is to go shopping and have an itinerary. And that's not me when I go somewhere and I go on a retreat. There's no itinerary. Whatever shows up for that day, it's really magical.

So I so appreciate Olivia tuning into that because it's very profound to be able to create an environment where people can go and really touch into all of the things that they forgot why they came here to do and you know the whole purpose of being. So thank you. Thank you. I've never been to a retreat.

Candidly, I want to show and support the opportunity when it comes along to go to one and experience it. And me people who are seeing lights through the same lens as me even if it's just a real weekend, it would be really great opportunity. You know, I ask you guys to say I go to some places, take mini retreats or mini pause. I call them a pause.

I'm an neurologist. You're what I call the QR, quadring reflex. So basically every time you exhale, you do this right now and you smile inwardly, you reset your nervous system. You say, so I don't like to talk about diseases, but if you think about a disease or being this at ease, it's kind of like it's the habitual reaction to strain.

So you look at a person as an example and you see them push forward to pull back. They're tilted over. People say that's aging. Well, it's actually not aging.

It's strain of that habitual response. So what I practice, it's kind of mind-blowing. I just got to a third space. Actually, this next week I'm meeting with this amazing librarian who's doing a whole show on the power of third space.

So at least it was saying I think it's so healthy in some ways to go to different places and discover a whole different way of life and breath. And of course, Olivia, the fact you have this Finnish sauna that you imported from Finland, I see doing groups up there with you and so what I think the most, I had to put one thing is the most healing, powerful thing in our life. I would say it's our intimate relationship and I was a community. And it's so interesting that someone just researched it.

They researched what makes the big difference in our life after 70 in terms of our health. Well, in fact, it's relational in this community. It's being a significant contributor.

Spricker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. So I'm a retire, a significant contributor, movement and movement for the brain. And of course, of course, play. We don't need sports, we need play.

So another thing that we said, you were kind of in the middle, when I meet each other from a beginner's mind, a beginner's place, where we could begin again. And I think as adults, what happens is we live on assumptions and want to call thought viruses. So I want to announce today officially. I've got a movie on the phone here and Arielle has been through Vermont.

Nate, you there yet, Nate Hughes? Nate was going to show up today. He's one of my inside people. He's in the Catskills and we're going to be working with Menlaw.

We're going to be at the retreat center. I want to open up vibrant living Vermont. So each week, whether it's a chef, a retreat center, I'll be doing my coaching work there, I'll be doing my vibrant match ranking. And we'll be giving away a vacation each week from an inn or a hotel.

So I want to share this vibrant living experience in Vermont because Vermont, to me, is one of these places. Someone just said a research on Vermont, they just promised out. And what they say is, it's something about the way of life there. They couldn't quite define it.

It's the Vermont experience. And I think part of that is that sense of the green mountains and wonder. And then if Lisa can encourage me, I think we might open up vibrant Hawaii if we have a warm place. Another thing about a retreat is changing a relationship to time.

Before they had fax machines, people could breathe. Did you know that people's breathing services now have been so amplified since the Internet and email? There's more hype of ventilation than ever before. And that's because people hold their breath.

So right now, that can actually everybody. And I'm going to give this back to you, Lisa, because I thought you said so many beautiful things. Thank you, Glenn. I appreciate that very much.

So many of the places that I've been to, it's interesting. Sometimes I'm traveling to go for an educational class. And sometimes I'll be in an environment where it's just about me. And you kind of reander through, I like to just sort of see where the roads take me sometimes.

I used to say I don't have a sense of direction, but I would be directly challenged. But oftentimes, it's the road less traveled. And you do find the wondrous places. You stumble in and you're in a coffee shop by yourself.

And you have a conversation with somebody and they say, oh, well, you know, if you're just here for a short time, you definitely have to see this. And it wouldn't be anything that you would normally see. When I went to Detroit, it was interesting to attend that event. One of the people said, do you need to go see this bead museum?

And I thought, well, why do I want to see a bead museum? I wanted to say a thing, Lisa. Yeah, I thought, well, you know, as I was driving out there, it's not exactly a desirable part of town. I thought, well, I'm not Kansas anymore.

I'm not really familiar with this area. But I just went on faith. And when I walked in, there was the most interesting gentleman sitting behind the counter. And I said, oh, you know, I said, you worked here for very long.

There was lots of beads on the walls and I was looking around and trying to find out a little bit more about what draws all these people to this very out of the way space. And it was sort of interesting as I engaged with the man in conversation. I found out that the museum had been there for 17 years and he had actually been there for 19. So he was the gentleman who was sort of the founder.

What I discovered in the conversation with him was that he was a little bit of a mystic, even though he tried to be a little bit undercover. And he said to me, he said, you know, you ask a lot of questions. And I said, yeah, I do. I said, because I care.

I said, I'm curious, because I want to learn. I want to learn about what inspired you to create this. And, you know, when you walked outside the wall, there had been a big, I guess, a big junkyard at one time. And what he created in that space was almost a museum from junk.

And it was really beautiful in the landscape. I mean, over all the rest of the filing cabinets. Really quite interesting. Very beautiful.

I don't know what kind of a mystic I knew series he was thinking about. Living network. Living. New feeling.

Kaga Levin, whoever. I always comments in the moment. We saw the rose. That is a more vibrant seat in a moment.

The real conscious connection. Old Times Radio, I I, I, M, F M. Host your show on I, M, M. The radio network of on times media.

One of the more recognized brand names in the conscious community and is backed by the extensive marketing reach of on times. Hosting a show on I, M, M, immediately connects you with our extensive dedicated community. Hello. magazine's flagship radio show, What is Going On.

My passion is sifting through information, research and innovations from new thought teachers, speakers and researchers pushing back the boundaries of what we know about life, energy, metaphysics and the universe. I love shifting perceptions about who we are, why we're here and how quickly impossible becomes normal when we open our minds, expand our awareness and accept that the only limits that exist are those we place upon ourselves. So if you're the kind of forward thinking eager investigator of what lies beyond the current reality that most perceive, why not make a date to come play with me in the field of possibilities at 4pm Pacific Time, 7pm Eastern Time every Thursday and together we can discover what beauty going on. What's the other name you shared?

I gave a talk before I left this guy, I asked you, I want to ask Lisa and Olivia and Nate if you're there. With this guy, he walked up to me, and these are people in the 80s, 90s and a couple of hundred year olds. I gave him a talk and I was growing young and could believe it because I had a mentor that was 110. I was learning from him, he was a co-founder of Norman Walker.

So at the end of the talk, the guy followed me. He was in the talk, he was in the 90s and he put like $10 in my pocket because I had two pockets and he said keep expressing this. And I realized that in that moment, he was like, that was the amplification of 10,000 guidance counselors I never had. And somehow, no matter what anybody said it did, I knew there was something else to that.

So how to turn your vocation into your vacation, you need to start thinking a little unusually and to risk. That's the purpose why I developed the Robert Living Challenge. It's a three month program. The point is when we risk and breathe together, we could bridge a new world together.

And so, we really read this out to me the other day, we're starting a new show on how to change the brain. Breathing and acknowledging fear is the way to become a different kind of human being. So what was my moment for you, when someone gave you a message or they said something that really altered your life, vibrantly? It's a very deep question.

I could definitely say there are a couple. I would say I'm not sure if I could pinpoint a moment or just a period of time. I would definitely say I'm curious of the time that really impacted me. My year I spent in Israel, living in Israel.

After I went up to high school, I studied for a year in a Ushiba in a Somedic Academy in Jerusalem. And other than the fact that it was opportunity for growth in Judaism, it really allowed me to take time out of my life. It really just pinpointed the purpose of life. Why am I here?

Why are you on this earth? What's my mission in this world? It really gave me the space and the clarity and the peace of mind and opportunity just to really dwell and meditate on these things. I've been here another half year in the country, 6,000 miles away from home.

It really gave me that clarity and the focus of who I am and what do I want to accomplish and what is my mission in this world? I want to bring to help others to make an impact. There are definitely confidence in that time period. I was definitely to say that time period in general really impacted me in so many different ways.

You know, psychologically, physically, every possible way. You said something, one word. One word. Okay.

So we're trying to try this to retreat. Private retreats. I'm going to try this to turn your vocation to your vacation. So I used to, anytime someone was doing something, I'd go to visit them.

I met some very uninteresting people. I met martial artists. I met people that really get a one session with them and walk differently, breathe differently. I can do that.

I'm reading a book right now. I'm reading something right now on how to reverse Alzheimer's. You know, it's sort of like a different world. So I know what I want to say.

And this kind of, all right, someone said this to me. I'm a very wise person. I know you guys. I think you were talking about Arielle because we got some dog lovers around us right here.

So someone said to me, okay, that's a political character. I like that. All right. So the guy said to me, he goes, he goes, you could read from the New York City phone book or a synchronard to deliver this work.

I was asking about what makes a profound difference when people get together. What makes a profound difference when we get together? Because that connects every tree and that connects with how to turn your vocation into vacation. So it's the space.

It's the relational space that occurs with this kindred ship and the willingness. Like, well, I started going through retreat centers, which I did regularly. I noticed it was a certain reverence among people that were interested in having this waking up experience, this vibrant experience, that allowed us to inquire and be vulnerable to each other. And this morning, when I did my wonderful conversation with Riska Jacobs, she said to me that a lot of young classes are set up in a way that's not that relational.

They set up to have your own mat. So we have these programs that we develop. We have the same natural key movement and the idea is you can move and interact with each other.

Because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. We know that she says to me that it was noteworthy in our relational space, our relational space. I need my own space. We need a relational space.

So she said to me that it's not chemistry that brings people together. It's actually how they read each other's system. It's not chemistry. It's a sense of like, and I've seen this on retreat to Livia and Lisa and Ariel.

I've seen her retreats that somehow people discover this third space and there's a sense of innocence and trust. And easily enough, when Ashley Monge wrote his book at 85 called Growing Young, that was one of his main points is that we're not supposed to grow old. So we're not growing old. And one of our academic advisors to the vibrant living of our faculty in Longsfield, he's 85, doesn't take any medications.

He gets a first link to the cells, the telomeres. And that's what this thing is about. That's why you need retreats in a society that moves way too hurried. To feel breath and pulse.

And then from that breath and pulse, you start to create your own career. You start to create your vocation into your vacation. And this happens in ways that totally surprises people. Because right now, most of us are too busy.

So we need to pause back. So Lisa, did you have a turning moment in your life that someone said something before you became Lisa the mystic? Like, was there a moment that like what happened in your life? Anybody around you?

How are you giving people on you? Family members? I do. And I will tell you, one of the most interesting things that ever happened to me was many, many years ago, gosh, it's got to be at least 30 years now.

And I was walking and there's a part of the city called the south side. And it's very hip and trendy. And this gentleman who looked pretty much like a homeless person walked up to me and said, if you pray for me, I'll pray for you. And I looked him in the eye and I said, thank you.

I said, of course, I'll pray for you. And then it was so interesting because I turned around to say something to the friend that I was with. And this man just disappeared. And I almost, you know, it was the most unusual feeling.

It was almost like an encounter with an angel. And I still to this day, I will never forget this man's face and, you know, to look beyond the appearance of what you see. And it stayed with me. And I always think that I look into the eyes of, you know, people on the street and you know, you never seen him again.

And why at that moment, you know, he didn't want anything from me, wasn't asking for money. And it touched me really deeply. Let me ask me a question in our conversation. That's so beautiful.

So beautiful. That's like, I had it so beautiful. I'm feeling the vibe of it at the end of the day. Let me ask you something the other day that was kind of a profound question.

Hope you don't want me sharing it. You're right. What did you get to say? What did you get to say?

You are. I figured it would be. I said, you asked me at one point. You said, well, you believe in evil.

You know, so that's what you mean. And I thought to myself, I was a good question. And there's this book. It's called People of the Lie.

See, what Lisa did, if you think about it, Lisa's living in this, I think I said the most powerful question we can have, most powerful question we can live by, is the universe, a friendly place to be. And we can kind of pause on what this has this interaction. A lot of people wouldn't allow themselves that. They wouldn't allow that interaction.

And the nervous system gets different type. But to the extent we could be like kids, it would be mobile and have a mobile brain. That's actually changing, like changing Lisa's brain. That changed the process of the evil brain.

So it would be an experience. Oh, yes or evil. So in the book, People of the Lie, one of the big points is that it's not a linear thing lying. It's kind of a lying from this other place that we don't have a conversation about, which is kind of the soul place, which is what Lisa talked about.

It's just other place of, in other cultures, they have a language for this. You know, I met this guy from Ethiopia. And I realized that the first time I met him, we didn't speak, but I could tell we had residents. And he turned out he's in a movie, which don't forget the movie is called the River in the Tree, Lolly.

He won that award that Jaku so on. It's been the award they presented. He says to me in his culture, they have this thing called Mingi. Have any of your heard of Mingi before?

Lisa? I had interactions with you when you were well. Oh, you remember this? Yeah, that's a wild thing.

I'm fair, but I'll ask you can ask Ariel. Okay, Lisa and Olivia, you're such a good member. Thank you. Good brain.

Have you heard of Mingi? All right, Olivia? Are you all? I have none.

I've not done that. All right. Okay. I thought, I was absolutely.

I need my dog. No. So Mingi, Mingi. I do incredibly well with Jewish audiences between 20 and 40.

I don't know what it is. So Mingi basically is a curse that comes around a baby when I think the front team come in and say, on the web couple. So while you didn't know what this was, as a young man, you didn't know what Mingi was. And what sort of interesting is I say the story and I think about people and the lie, is they're evil.

So basically when you have, when someone determines you have Mingi in the tribe and your baby, they could kill you. So he was a very young man. He said he was walking on this trail. He saw this baby like drowning, basically he was dying.

And by the time he was maybe eight or nine, he realized 50,000 people in his ethnic tribe, by the way, 50,000. And they all believe in it. They don't believe in it. They live as Mingi's reality.

When you look around your world right now, how many believe that people around you believe, just like Mingi? And they believe it as, so they believe in their disease. So the belief in survival, right? It's not even a belief that people live from survival and they live as if other people are treating them, right?

There's a whole bunch of, so another aspect of retreat is to be able to step back and be able to notice another breath. So our breath kind of tells us our relationship with everything in proximity, our movement. So retreating, that's why I was just to examine this thing called beliefs in our body. So anyway, with me and Lolly, Lolly told me what Mingi is.

And I said to him, I said, well, that's like divorce. And he said, absolutely. So divorces another thing. It's a contract that says if you, if you, as someone's annoying you and they do all these things, you divorce them.

See, it's something that we usually, I'll call these belief curses, no word. Thought viruses might be a little better. But we kind of believe things. And like as an example, when I was growing up, I want to ask you guys this, my father, something dropped on the floor.

He would just flip out. He would just, and I feel like, I'll hear you from our parents. I want you guys to comment on this. Your parents never say to you.

Go drain all your life energy. Go drain all your life energy. Give up everything that's relevant to you and do this thing called get a job. They don't say this to you.

They're tired. They lay around. Like my father used to come home. Like he didn't gain life energy.

So it was like, he'd come home and he would just collapse. So the first thing I was curious about is it's possible to be in a world where you actually could express what you love. And the first time I got paid for that, most probably that moment with the speaking thing, but other times. And so the most valuable thing is to start the movement to underwhelm.

So, Nigy, I said, these are beliefs that we live from without questioning. So, Livia, you want to have people come to beautiful women. And I think the sun is out of this world. So I would call, you have a destination vibrant retreat center.

Because when people come there, they drop out of time and our beliefs don't just affect our mind. They affect our body. So what's the time in your life? What's the time in your life?

What's the time in your life? Because you said so many things, I was a coach. I was a coach. I was like, wow.

I'm showing you hot when you spoke to me. Like a lot of other, wow. You probably said this to you. You counted that to you.

I was like, wow. I kind of felt like it's like who you are before you went to law school. And then you know what I mean? Like, so we're talking about thought viruses.

What do you feel is reinforced your heart in your life right now? What's reinforced your heart? Let's keep you going. Well, okay.

So actually, can literally pinpoint with a very profound statement to me from the moment in my life. It was January, and I met a woman named Livia, and she was dying. She was dying to cancer. She was coming to terms with her.

And she didn't down the thing. So she was saying, she said something that was just so profound for me. And you have to understand my place. I was 20, 27 at the time.

Getting ready to graduate law school. I would have this point. I was very, you know, $100,000 debt. We were motivated.

I was going to go make money. I was going to have a fancy car and go for it. Are you going to pick me up in your fancy car? Go ahead.

Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. You were talking about her death and her life.

And she was saying, and I wish I could remember the exact word she did because it was so proud. It was like, brought tears in my eyes and do some colors in my body. But essentially what she said is, look it, I am dying. And I understand this and I know this.

And when I die, it's not the beautiful house I have that matters. It's not all the jewelry that I have mounted over a lifetime. It is not my fancy car. It is not my great furniture and my artwork.

This is not my favorite thing. She's like, it's, when I hope, when I take my last breath, when I pass on. I pray, I hope that I am surrounded by the people that I love, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that at the end of my life, it's not, it's just like, I'm looking at this now. She works so hard to get into material objects and fancy cars and things that I, at the lenses of the 20 some odd year old, was driving for.

It's not about matter. It's not just connections. It's about those people. Me.

It's about the relationships that you cultivate. Those are what, those are what define you as a person. Those are your legacy. Those are the things that really matter.

Because when you die, you cannot take that fancy car or that beautiful diamond ring or that great piece of artwork. But you know, you, you, you would like to see what we live on in the hearts of the people who love you. And I just, maybe this is something that was just so obvious. And, and, and everybody knows it and knew it.

But for me, it was like, this aha moment. It's very, very powerful moment. And right after that, I get a phone call within within, yeah, within a month. I got a phone call from my mom.

My dad just had a mitt stroke. And I needed to come back to the mall. You sit. It was chilly.

And it was like, this conversation I have with this woman just all changed the position. And I realized I needed to make some decisions about where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do. I think, did I really need that fancy car that I need to have by, you know, 30 years old or that beautiful home and so forth. And certainly the things I value, but I love it.

It don't matter. And it's about my family, my friends, my relationship, my community. So that was honestly one of the most profound things anybody has ever said to me, and it changed the course of my life and why I look at life and the one that I see my everyday. That makes that not all.

That's my story. Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. Thank you.

My pleasure. Do you think, do you think, do you think, Libby and Ariel and Lisa will rose as honor? We should have let's pray for each other day at Whole Foods Market next week, maybe? I get to day dedicated to print.

I like to idea print for each other. I think that would be, you know, I went to see this guy. You guys know there was a guru named Mukinanda up in Fallsburg, New York. I'm going to see if I can get this in.

All right. So all of a sudden, the ashram was seagotting each other. We have several thousand people. That's not a bad thing to pay attention to.

You know, I should press this to try and stay with us. You want vibrant, retreating and forwarding with people such as Lesley, Solivia and Ariel in a moment. I'm on drugs. Feed your soul with waves of consciousness.

Melissa from Michigan. I work an extra part-time job serving lunch at my child's school, but I still can't afford to put food on our table. Daniel from California. Choosing whether to pay the rent or pay to fix the card gets to work doesn't leave us with much at all.

Now we can't even pay for meals. Hunger is a story we can end. End it at FeedingAmerica.org, brought to you by Feeding America and the ad council. This is good vibran living.

I'm going to take a moment. Lisa LaRouze, Ariel and Ariel Thonberg. I want to take a moment. I do something to this give this momentum here.

I'm going to give you a little exercise. I give it to myself. I'm smart. I want you to see.

We have a network. We produce events. We produce these vibran living community events, experiences. People not just come to speak, but we educate them.

We have a speakers room. We have a international speakers room. So what we do is we provide one of a kind format, a vibran living format, for people to cultivate and discover the language that moves them the most. They also get to retreat.

They also get to... The problem is with the survival message. People get to be constrained about what they have to do. Imagine if you have the space, you can discover and then be in front of your peers, be in front of your inside.

Don't go. The people around you, your vibran living team, inside members, and discover this message. We have two events coming. One of them are around with our bribing collaboration partner, Natural Wake News Magazine.

So you're a mission. I know you said this. We're going to bring 30 people in who are going to be hosts and vibran speakers. They're going to discover another whole level of the message.

We're going to leave behind some of the talk viruses. So we're not just working from survival. We can be like Lisa and meet wonderful people on the street and pray for each other. I like the analogy.

Lisa announced a lot. And Olivia, by the way, I want to say both of those things, Olivia and Lisa, those are beautiful. Those are new nervous system messages. They're nervous systemless.

So with you, Aria, I want you to feel that real effortlessly. Just see that. Exhale three times. Let yourself just see that.

And then sharing that with you. One of these people, I say to people about business, no competing. How to fill your business with no competing. So you have your own blue ocean.

So we got this blue ocean and you're a New York producer. And I love people in New York. I think that's a really unique happening market. And I'm ready to really amplify the New York regional vibrant living team with our speakers and our hosts.

And also we send people on vacation. I also want to put another little message here. We're looking for video photographers, people involved with film screenwriters, writers. So if you want to be part of the vibrant living team, give us a call today.

Aria, you're going to start posting this on Instagram. Lisa's there. We're going to put it. Okay.

I'm also talking about my phone. You're like the old age. You've got to actually call a real human being. 413-345-3747.

413-34-3747. I used to know the number. 413-345-3747. And here's the spontaneous moment of the show.

Here it is. Ready? Are you ready, Aria? Oh, well, just tell me how it was for you.

How did you put it? I will exercise you do. Did you like that? It was very soothing.

It was very invigorating. Enjoyed it. Yeah. Just keep feeling it real.

And let your imagination. You know, this woman who hired me a couple weeks ago, she said, well, she goes, my inner wisdom totally, I should pay you $650. And I said, I like that. Let's go with that.

So she came up with the price and everything. I kind of like that. So I say, hey, Libby, I think I want to play a game with you. Ready?

Aria, Libby, there's probably only one. All good things happen in the spontaneous, right? Love, truth. What's something you want to ask Lisa to say, Libby, that you're curious about, you haven't even thought about.

What would you like to ask Lisa? She's ready for you. Good question. Oh, I got one.

I got one. What? What? What?

Lisa said that she's trouble. She's trouble all over. Yes. Yes.

Yes. She's an ex-busto who's thought and why. Wow. You know what?

It's very interesting you say that and it's probably going to be Portugal. And the reason I say that is it because it keeps showing up. I keep meeting people. It keeps showing up in my travel things that come up as far as good deals, you know, and it's the same place.

And I just talked to a friend of mine and she said, guess what? I'm leaving Los Angeles. She said, I'm moving. And I said, where are you moving to?

And she said, Portugal. I guess I'm going to be going to Portugal. Very soon, never been close by, but obviously there's a culture like in Portugal. What do you know about the culture?

I know that there's women in Portugal that have no back pain. They care those big baskets and they're just done. They have no back pain. What do you know?

What do I say? What's the role of Portugal at any level? You know what? She had said, you know, she's originally from Romania and she said that the quality of life there and the way that people interact and experience each other is what's drawing her there.

So I'm really curious to experience that for myself. I think that there's, you know, there's lots of beauty. It's not a very big geographical area, but I'm sure that there's a lot of really unique things to discover, not just with the culture, but the nature, you know, some of the history. And I love the water.

I love being around the water in the mountains and it has both. So it'll be a unique inspiration and exploration and now have a friend to visit there as well. So that was a great question with you. Thank you.

It's really good. You had your choice of a place to explore. Where would that be? I've always wanted to go on an African safari.

Wow. You remember the movie going back old male movie out of Africa? Beautiful. I never saw that movie.

Robert Redford. Oh, it's beautiful. The cinematography that the music and the movie, all of the movie. I remember watching it with my mom and dad as a little girl.

I'd be like, oh my God, I want to go there. I was so wanted to go there. So that's the thing about that. That would just be the dedication of the life.

Well, I'd be happy to give you some guidance because I've actually ventured to Africa myself and it's the most beautiful night skies because there's no light pollution and every star, every constellation is just like within your reach and and to go on a safari and photograph and be with the animals is beyond magical. So I'd be happy to share lots of insights with you on that. Wow. Thank you.
