The Wisest

In the final episode of The Wisest Season Two, we meet Felicia. She understands what it means to acknowledge those around you and how important that acknowledgement is. Each of us affects those around us, and it is important to make that as positive a connection as you can. Felicia really puts herself out there for what she believes in and, as she tells host Rhonda Olson, sometimes those risks can be painful, but also infinitely rewarding.

Still in the throes of dealing with her own vulnerability, Yolanta has discovered a new-found strength in truly being herself and wisely encourages us not to hide who we truly are.

When things fell apart for Erik, he discovered that he was working to avoid his own feelings. He believes that being willing to expose our vulnerability could help wipe out mental illness.  He also shares with host Rhonda Olson how to talk to people with whom you don’t agree.

Adam has an infectious joy for life and he opened my eyes to the fact that it is entirely possible to be young and wise. He shares with us how he learned to forgive and the power of a positive morning routine.

Nadine shows us how the focus of our attention determines what manifests for us. She also explains how we can learn to better connect with people who are not like ourselves and the limits - and rewards - of those connections.

Currently pursuing monastic life with Ticht Nahn Hahn, Romke encourages us to give space to our feelings. He also shares his thoughts on how to cultivate love and taking criticism gracefully.

Jules has deeply reflected on his life path and that which is important to him.  As a result, he lives his life with an open and independent mind that has lead him to explore and adopt some fresh and challenging ideas and ways of being.

Maryke claims to have led a life with no plans or ambitions, but still managed to carve out a successful career. She thinks many of us try too hard to attain the things that don’t really matter and cause us to miss out on the things that do.

Ivanka is an artist whose art lives outside the gallery. Her latest work is an experiment in how she would like the world to be a “free café” where the food is free and the people who make it are all volunteers.

In the first episode of Season Two we meet Bonita. She has been a mentor to many despite working in television, an industry that is often less than kind.  She enhances the lives of others with her ability to articulate our life experience using the fine art of story telling.
