Loretta welcomes David Wick who has been a devoted peacebuilder since 1978, with a remarkable career spanning over four decades. In 1974, he founded Youth Services in Santa Cruz and Watsonville, California, starting with a small team and a $17,000 budget. He grew it into a thriving multimillion-dollar center still active today. This experience inspired his contribution to “The Origins of Neuro Linguistic Programming.” In 1983, David co-launched Pathways To Peace (PTP), a UN-designated Peace Messenger NGO, instrumental in the UN’s 1981 International Day of Peace resolution. Since 1984, he has led Peace Day celebrations and now serves as a PTP Director. He founded the Peace Within Organizations program at Stanford University in 1985 and co-founded Peace Building Through Business in 1995, contributing to a global think tank on business’s future role. Today, David leads the Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI), with PTP as its Secretariat, inspiring individuals and communities worldwide to build peace from the inside out.

Reema Datta is the author of The Yogi’s Way: Transform Your Mind, Health, and Reality. Datta first learned yoga and Ayurveda from her mother and grandmothers, as well as her grandfather, who wrote several books on Vedic philosophy. After receiving her master’s from the London School of Economics, Datta worked for the United Nations before leaving to study ancient yogic wisdom and practice. Since 2002, she has taught yoga and Ayurveda workshops, retreats, and trainings in twenty countries across five continents. Over three thousand years ago, yogis knew what scientists are discovering today: The mind has the power to destroy us or to propel us to greater peace, creativity, possibility, vitality, and freedom. Yet yoga’s profound teachings on the mind and consciousness are largely absent in modern settings while its physical aspects of postures and breathwork take center stage. Her students include Sting, Paul Simon, Edie Brickell, Zainab Salbi, Sujatha Baliga, and thousands of other practitioners globally.

In a world where division and uncertainty are prevalent, the need for genuine connection has never been more critical. But how can we remain connected when opinions diverge and times are unpredictable? The answer lies in cultivating curiosity by “Living in the question,” according to TJ Woodward.

We’ve been conditioned to seek answers, believing that they hold the key to resolving issues. However, an answer-focused mindset can lead to discord in our personal and professional relationships. When we prioritize being “right,” we risk alienating those around us, fostering judgment and conflict instead of understanding. In contrast, asking open-ended questions encourages connection and authenticity. This practice of “living in the question” allows us to explore life’s complexities without the need for definitive answers, creating space for new possibilities and deeper connections.

TJ Woodward is a recovery expert, addiction treatment specialist, inspirational speaker, and bestselling author shares his perspective on how we remain connected in the midst of divergent opinions and uncertain times.
