I recently had the pleasure of gathering 12 brilliant minds for a Roundtable Discussion to dive deep into our own growth & reveal how we can be of greater service to the world with the privilege that we have. In this particular roundtable we discuss the power of commitment, how to live in harmony, the pains of waking up, powerful personal stories, the current state of the world and how we can have a contribution towards its betterment. The intention of these gatherings is to cultivate the future stewards of society by connecting like-minded individuals whom are pioneers in their respective industry and through powerful discussion amplify our potential for positive transformation on this planet. Today’s topic: What is the relevance of promises, vows and commitments in a paradigm built on radical trust in the NOW?  The more our consciousness awakens, the more we understand that there is only NOW. This allows us to see that anything outside of the present moment is nothing more than electrical signals firing in our brain, based on assumptions about the future, and imprints from our past. How then, does this awareness change our relationship to time? How does the ability to deeply surrender to the ever changing tides of life and trust in the unknown, without attachment and control, impact long term commitments such as marriage vows or business contracts? If we see only the NOW is real, how do we plan for a future that hasn’t happened yet? And should we plan at all? _________________________________________________ Attendees Instagrams: 1.
