“When you enter a room, you clean the air. When you enter a meeting, you clean the mental and emotional environment. When you’re present, the presence of your soul changes the environment” — Alfredo Sfeir-Younis

In consciousness, our journey starts,
With love and kindness in our hearts.
Interconnected, one with all,
We hear compassion’s sacred call.
A world at peace, where hatred’s ceased,
And harmony’s a constant feast.
Embracing nature’s vital role,
United, we can heal the soul.
This conversation with Alfredo sheds light on the power of consciousness and how it shapes our experiences and the world around us. Our consciousness influences every aspect of our lives, from relationships with others to how we respond to challenges.
As we explore the wisdom shared by Alfredo and the teachings of Lama Gangchen, let us contemplate the profound impact of our consciousness and strive to create a world rooted in love, compassion, and peace.
A Special Thank you to Lama Caroline, Lama Michel, Franco Ceccerelli, Yogesh and Nilli Madhvani, Illaria Ceccerelli, Patagonia Gloria, Yvonne Ulrich, our producer Jason Sanderson and our amazing web designer Alina Wilczynski
