Join me with author and speaker Will Pye, a radical being I am blessed to call my dear Zen Brother, in this rich conversation steeped in the practice of Gratitude. I was blessed to meet Will during a Zen meditation retreat back in 2011, two weeks after he had been diagnosed with a life threatening brain tumor. His response to this diagnosis was intense fascination and deep curiosity – an attitude which has taken him on an epic journey into the heart and soul of what it means to be consciousness embodied in human form and living on the very real brink of destruction, and all the while deeply grateful for the momentous gift such a journey brings.
Will serves the fulfillment of personal and collective potential through awakening Consciousness. Communicating globally as social entrepreneur, teacher, transformational coach, speaker and author his work includes all dimensions of human health and wellbeing and is summed up by ‘integrating’; integrating psychological wholeness and spiritual awakening, science and spirituality, reason and intuition, personal wellbeing with collective evolution and social justice.
Leading meetings, workshops and retreats across 5 continents insights from 15yrs research, practice and exploration into consciousness and transformation are shared with humour and love as Will facilitates tension, problem and despair into peace, opportunity and joy.
In Will’s own words, “Serving personal and collective transformation is my ultimate purpose and greatest joy. By guiding others to their deepest truth and greatest power more fulfilling and joyful lives naturally follow. In this way a new world continues to emerge; a world built upon the truth of our interbeing and arising from our realized love”.
We talk about Wills exploration in Radical Gratitude where every breath, pain, thought, identity and contraction are recognized as opportunities to relish in the joyful love of simply Being.
Will can also be found handing out Love Letters to strangers as part of a global movement of love and awakening he founded – The Love & Truth Partywww.loveandtruthparty.org and also hosts the popular podcast The TruthLoverwww.loveandtruthparty.podbean.com.
He has authored two books, “Blessed with a Brain Tumor”and “The Gratitude Prescription” – the latter of which we discuss more fully as the topic of this conversation.
