You CAN ask that! An online conversation Hosted by Suzanne Waldron. October Guest: Poet Ali

OCTOBER Guest CONFIRMED. Poet Ali "Is love going Extinct?"

7am AWST / 10am AEST / 20th Oct 7pm (Eastern NY Time)

Poet Ali is all about inspiring people to connect with the deepest parts of themselves. In this 75 minute conversation Poet Ali and Suzanne will wax lyrical on a number of questions. 

In this information age where everything is available to us at the touch of a keystroke are we actually forgetting how to truly EXPERIENCE what life in real life has to offer us. 

How do we get into life? 

Have we forgotten how to love? 

What's the impact on our lives collectively when we are observers rather than doers in our own lives experiences? 

How do we love fully? Without fear? 

Come and discuss all of these questions and more on the 21st of October with Suzanne Waldron and Guest Poet Ali all the way from New York!
