“To flourish is to find fulfillment in our lives, accomplishing meaningful and worthwhile tasks, and connecting with others at a deeper level.”

“Other people are the best antidote to the 'downs' of life and the single most reliable 'up.'”

“Meditation gives me this incredible base from which to flourish, just like mindful movement and nourishment of my body do.”
