As the world grapples with the shift toward social isolation, managing pandemic-related stress, and an uncertain future, we at Wanderlust know that our greatest strengths are the wisdom of our leaders and the power of community.
We have reached out to the lighthouses in our teaching community to share some succinct, actionable insights with our community, as well as to call on us to be bold and envision how this shift can create a better world. Because extraordinary times call for extraordinary leadership.
COPING IN THE PRESENT
Moving is a way of managing state of mind. Disrupting movement patterns breaks mental patterns.
Now is an extraordinary time to pick up and drop habits. How you express yourself physically can be one to adopt.
ANSWERING THE CALL
What you think is optimal could contain barriers. Try to let those assumptions go and see if there is space for development of self.
We are peeking into the future. Either you experience it as a slap in the face or a window opening to opportunity.
