Notable Quotes

● "Healing is something we need to do; it's a really hard topic because different things work for different people. That's why I liked bringing on such an assortment of guests because they all offered different modalities that helped for different things."

● "We have everything we need. There's such beautiful sites and wonders all around this world, and we destroy it. What do people do? They've been destroying it, and we continue to do so. It doesn't make any sense at all."

● "You have to adapt. It's not going to go back to the way things were, which is a really good thing. This is the time for people like me, and hopefully you, to say no and not go back to the old way, but not go into the nightmare future either. We steer it to a kind of utopia or paradise."
