Mari Orkenyi and I became fast friends. Our conversation really came alive in the second half and I didn't want to cut anything out, so this is part two of last week's episode. Mari is a Contemplative Educator, Mindfulness and Compassion Teacher and Writer. Her work lives in the space where Contemplative Practices, Buddhist Psychology and Western Psychotherapy intersect. As a native Brazilian immigrant with Hungarian roots, living in Los Angeles by way of Spain and Mexico, her multicultural perspectives and backgrounds are continuously informing her work. In this week’s episode, we talk about the quality of presence, acceptance, Buddhism, social media, love, cooking, and Mari gives me some wonderful personal advice.
