General Discussion
Introduction: Welcome to our discussion on using the power of presence and how it leads to daily discoveries that can change our perspectives and lives.
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the beauty and insights that surround us; the "simple things". However, by staying present and mindful, we can unlock new ways of seeing and experiencing the world.
