Looking at the ''I'' With a Deeper Eye: Recent Episodes
Garden of Ayden
Looking at the "I" with a deeper eye, that is our new modules that are to resolve challenges that we face with others. We've been through the Enter the Garden program and walked you through looking at yourself in the mirror. Now's a chance to actually resolve any resentments you have deep within that you haven't been able to resolve as yet.
Module 1 - Untangling Perspectives & Reframing Perceptions
Purpose: We know that the journey has been challenging. We struggle to find our calm in the face of situations that are not only unfair but tedious and never-ending. We long for peace. We know that our intentions are goods and our expectations lost. We know that to find the right outcome, we need to find our balance first and foremost.
