The Art of Balance: A Persian Perspective on How to Navigate Life
Topic #1: 1:00 What is Persian Spirituality? How its fundamental teachings can help you see your wholeness and provide a path to personal growth and healing.
Topic #2 4:00 Duality; how the universe embraces duality of light and dark; the human condition to suppress our darkness (weaknesses, flaws) and chasing unattainable positivity. How our positivity diminishes our pain so we never truly address it.

Topic #4 8:00, You can reconnect to your inner light and inner strength at any time, even if your darkest hours. You can rise from your darkness more evolved, more mature, more whole.
Topic #5 12:30, How to accept yourself so you stop hiding behind accomplishments and accolades to determine your worth.
Topic #6 15:00 How to embrace your emotions and have the courage to integrate them into your being and life.
Topic #7 18:00 How to stop turning on yourself and sabotage your path to healing.
