Friends,
Last spring Musical Ambassador, Ari Honarvar, gave a TEDx Talk about her brilliant resilience-building work. I am pleased to finally be able to share the video with you!
In her talk, Ari introduces the mindful practice of savoring intervention, a practice that saw her through the toughest times growing up in Iran. She talks about how Iranians cultivated joy even while bombs were dropping during the Iraq war, and how they became resilient in the face of the brutality of the morality police.
Through her background in providing workshops for refugees, Ari explains how to incorporate savoring pleasant moments in order to improve our own well-being, even in the toughest environments. Personally, I am finding her talk valuable as I navigate stressful times in my own life. It's definitely worth a watch!
