And you're you're, you know, amazing author. And also you're a creatrix, you know. So you understand? Like, when something's at the front of your heart. 61 00:06:04.020 --> 00:06:18.140 Radhaa Nilia: You just feel compelled to birth it into manifestations. And so, you know, I feel a few things in my heart that are really stirring, and one of them was in poems from the heart. 62 00:06:18.350 --> 00:06:46.880 Radhaa Nilia: We really explored the heart, Chakra, and all kinds of love and longing, and a lot of the poets also were like, we want to explore more of the sensual side, you know, we want to go in that direction, and so I always listen. You know, I really do. If, like 2 or more people tell me, then I'm like, Oh, okay. So I opened up that space to create radiant sutras. 63 00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:54.280 Radhaa Nilia: Fashion versus. So it's an exploration of central poetry. And it's for all ages for 64 00:06:54.360 --> 00:07:00.550 Radhaa Nilia: co-ed, you know, it's about exploration. And coming back to certain parts of ourselves that 65 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:20.929 Radhaa Nilia: you know. Maybe we got busy in life and forgot, you know, maybe we we were tending to others and forgot. Maybe we got into bad relationships and then came out of it and just cut ourselves off. You know, there could be so many things going on in our lives where we can forget those tender parts that really make us alive. 66 00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:22.140 Radhaa Nilia: And 67 00:07:22.970 --> 00:07:27.630 Radhaa Nilia: you know, as someone who is always an explorer, but also a healer. 68 00:07:27.650 --> 00:07:34.950 Radhaa Nilia: I like to go and explore and just see what's there. So we, you know we we're bringing in 69 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:39.780 Radhaa Nilia: 2 beautiful goddesses to lead us, and that is Gila Nehemiah. 70 00:07:39.780 --> 00:07:40.730 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Who is in our. 71 00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:50.919 Radhaa Nilia: Poetry teacher. She's been doing this for a long time. She is an exquisite woman, someone I deeply I deeply love and admire. 72 00:07:51.080 --> 00:07:59.659 Radhaa Nilia: And you know, she and she's currently in Israel right now. She's actually from New York. But she's been going through like a lot of this war 73 00:08:00.347 --> 00:08:06.950 Radhaa Nilia: stuff, you know. And so we've gotten a really close, because, you know, we just talk a lot. And 74 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:17.420 Radhaa Nilia: and that's what I mean. We always think something's happening out there. But when you have somebody in different parts of the world, you realize it's not just out there. This is in my heart. This is right here. 75 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:23.929 Radhaa Nilia: It's not out there thing. It's a right here thing, and it just presences you to 76 00:08:24.820 --> 00:08:26.000 Radhaa Nilia: wow 77 00:08:26.140 --> 00:08:31.370 Radhaa Nilia: the gratitude of being alive. And then the gratitude of this now moment. 78 00:08:31.910 --> 00:08:44.779 Radhaa Nilia: and that we shouldn't. We shouldn't push aside our desires, you know, of of our of ourself, you know, further away, like it's just for us to like. I'm saying it's not like 79 00:08:44.820 --> 00:09:06.050 Radhaa Nilia: it's just for us to explore as artists so to feel again to really, you know, sometimes we go numb because we've been hurt, and that makes so much sense. And so it's kind of like reawakening and inviting those parts to open and to remember those parts that are really innocent and really sacred before the traumas 80 00:09:06.050 --> 00:09:22.280 Radhaa Nilia: and and then we have our beautiful crone goddess, you know Selma Harwell, who is also going to be leading every class with intention like helping us to drop into our body. She's very much into that somatic wisdom. 81 00:09:22.890 --> 00:09:23.500 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Awesome. 82 00:09:23.540 --> 00:09:28.640 Radhaa Nilia: The body, and when she does that I instantly almost melt into myself like 83 00:09:28.770 --> 00:09:37.589 Radhaa Nilia: a softening that I didn't know that I needed in that moment, and in order to kind of write and explore, we do. 84 00:09:37.640 --> 00:09:46.789 Radhaa Nilia: It is very important to prime ourselves into a softening and allow, so we can feel safe. And we're going to create that beautiful space. And so 85 00:09:46.920 --> 00:09:56.770 Radhaa Nilia: these women I love and admire very much and respect. And so I couldn't be happier. They're leading this entire workshop for 4 months. 86 00:09:56.800 --> 00:10:12.069 Radhaa Nilia: And then, if people want to move forward and be part of the poetry book which you're going to be part of then do so. So there's a lot of opportunity here to explore. And even dare I say, find some healing? 87 00:10:12.410 --> 00:10:28.400 Radhaa Nilia: You know, we we're gonna start the class off, really checking in with everybody like in an honest way, like Where are you? Well, I'm not. Gila will be, but but you know, kind of just dropping, dropping right into the space. And when someone is 88 00:10:28.400 --> 00:10:46.979 Radhaa Nilia: present for at least for me, like I feel an expansion, just like, you know, talking to you right now I feel an expansion. So it's it's a gift to have someone holding sacred space.

And I, just, you know, want want to 110 00:12:47.680 --> 00:12:50.799 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: state that out loud that you're very appreciated. 111 00:12:50.830 --> 00:12:52.879 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: very, very appreciated. 112 00:12:53.060 --> 00:13:11.060 Radhaa Nilia: I so appreciate you, too, and your presence and being part of this journey, too, is, it's really wonderful like, because you have this. You have that, Mother Gaia, like strong frequency of love, and it pours through you and all you do, and I, even other authors, have have shared that. So. 113 00:13:11.458 --> 00:13:17.619 Radhaa Nilia: Thank you. That that is the intention is that we're working with frequencies. You know we call it different things. 114 00:13:17.690 --> 00:13:40.379 Radhaa Nilia: but you know it's the day their frequencies, and that when you know an author leaves the author incubator, or the publishing part of it, they may feel like a little bit different, you know in in their lives and and I hope and I always hope for the better. And that's that's the feedback. So I feel that. 115 00:13:40.906 --> 00:13:48.660 Radhaa Nilia: You know it's a beautiful co-creation, and I really love co-creation to me. I really love co-creation. 116 00:13:49.092 --> 00:13:59.030 Radhaa Nilia: I love to to weave with others their their with their energies, and that's the books I feel like are all encoded with everyone's divine frequency. 117 00:13:59.110 --> 00:14:05.830 Radhaa Nilia: And so it's I do feel that our books have a lot of codes in them, you know. Just not so. 118 00:14:06.221 --> 00:14:16.699 Radhaa Nilia: Even just have it. They just feel something from it. And I've heard that so many times. I just felt this energy from the book. I had to pick it up. I got it, and I was like, Wow, so 119 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:26.109 Radhaa Nilia: it makes me happy, you know, though those little moments of feedback. It really makes me happy because all the work is is worth it. You know it's it's worth it. 120 00:14:26.316 --> 00:14:27.970 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: It is a lot. It is a lot. 121 00:14:28.040 --> 00:14:31.128 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: It's a devotion, right? 122 00:14:33.650 --> 00:14:40.489 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Positive emotion. Yeah, so so yeah, tell me a little bit about some other projects that you have. 123 00:14:40.870 --> 00:14:41.440 Radhaa Nilia: Yes. 124 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:42.710 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Going on right now. 125 00:14:43.610 --> 00:14:56.000 Radhaa Nilia: Oh, my goodness, okay, so I'm so excited to share. The goddess, rising archetypal exploration and devotional poetry writing. So it's a poetry writing devotional poetry writing. And really. 126 00:14:56.470 --> 00:15:05.709 Radhaa Nilia: it's about like you, said the frequencies we're gonna have a different goddess Archetype that we are working with as a as a group 127 00:15:05.780 --> 00:15:12.040 Radhaa Nilia: each month, and then we kind of get to activate that and work with that energy. 128 00:15:12.110 --> 00:15:23.739 Radhaa Nilia: And you know, Lisa Lisa Littleton will be Co. Leading that with me. And she she's actually poems from the heart, too, and she's an incredible 129 00:15:24.110 --> 00:15:29.130 Radhaa Nilia: she she works with like the ley lines of the earth. I I feel we should have a conversation. Yeah. 130 00:15:29.130 --> 00:15:30.329 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Yeah, I'd love that. 131 00:15:30.630 --> 00:15:35.869 Radhaa Nilia: Wrote a book about it. So she's she's gonna be doing all the shocker activations that go 132 00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:44.720 Radhaa Nilia: for at the start of each session. And then I'll be doing the goddess activation, and then we'll be doing really deep poetry, writing devotional poetry. Writing 133 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.699 Radhaa Nilia: really feeds our heart and our soul and kind of 134 00:15:48.990 --> 00:15:57.170 Radhaa Nilia: awakens that goddess within us. So we, you know, as you know, as women, we have so many different archetypes, because you're you also work with archetypes. So you 135 00:15:57.470 --> 00:16:02.120 Radhaa Nilia: that, like we are not just one flavor. No. 136 00:16:03.760 --> 00:16:04.939 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Thank goodness, awesome. 137 00:16:05.030 --> 00:16:21.098 Radhaa Nilia: Oh, my goodness, no! We've got many flavors, and so exploring that to me is such a gift, because when women really get to explore all the flavors and the the frequencies within themselves. There's so much empowerment. And 138 00:16:21.620 --> 00:16:25.380 Radhaa Nilia: you know, this is gonna be part of a of a program that 139 00:16:25.410 --> 00:16:31.819 Radhaa Nilia: participants have the opportunity to be published in voices of the divine, a goddess, poetry, anthology. 140 00:16:31.940 --> 00:16:34.259 Radhaa Nilia: So again, it's gonna be 141 00:16:34.300 --> 00:16:53.299 Radhaa Nilia: an amazing journey, and that this one's a little bit longer, you know. Now, it's going to be 6 months plus the pre-recording of the 1st class. So it's it's really going to be juicy. And and again, I think this is nice, because as women we go through, we go through so many cycles. 142 00:16:53.310 --> 00:16:58.580 Radhaa Nilia: and it doesn't matter what stage you are in your life. We need sisterhood, you know. 143 00:16:58.580 --> 00:16:59.420 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: We do? 144 00:16:59.420 --> 00:17:00.492 Radhaa Nilia: Yeah, we do. 145 00:17:02.615 --> 00:17:07.540 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Yeah, that cauldron right? Bringing creative energies together 146 00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:10.895 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: and nourishing ourselves as well. 147 00:17:11.510 --> 00:17:41.300 Radhaa Nilia: But it amplifies, it amplifies when we come together, especially when we're focusing on that, that devotional and that that divine aspect. It just kind of like amplifies. And so it's I feel that with you, too, like when, whenever you come to come to our you know, author incubators, it's like your energy Bill helps to build that light grid that we're building. So it is an honor to have that caliber you know of, like how you're that caliber of women, that. 148 00:17:41.870 --> 00:17:42.590 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Is. 149 00:17:42.590 --> 00:18:01.440 Radhaa Nilia: Great work in this world, and those are the people we're calling in, because, you know, we're all pillars of light like you're in New Mexico, right? So you've been holding down that pillar of light for such a long time there, and it's such a blessing for for that area really, truly like in a way you've been like a guardian 150 00:18:01.490 --> 00:18:04.249 Radhaa Nilia: to that. We are the guardian to 151 00:18:04.600 --> 00:18:08.579 Radhaa Nilia: to where we are. You know I'm in Appalachia, Appalachians, and 152 00:18:09.050 --> 00:18:12.830 Radhaa Nilia: going on. I just keep imagining that pillar of light. And and 153 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:26.469 Radhaa Nilia: and you know, I we went through this kind of like very traumatic experience, and could have went off walls, but had to come back in. And luckily I have these practices so I could just sit 154 00:18:26.520 --> 00:18:28.419 Radhaa Nilia: in the dark and 155 00:18:28.550 --> 00:18:43.020 Radhaa Nilia: go inside, because I've cultivated these things. And I really think it's important to cultivate our inner fortitude. We've been so focused on the outer. But the inner, when things get tough. We have to have. 156 00:18:43.070 --> 00:18:46.469 Radhaa Nilia: We have to have our inner strength. Yeah, because. 157 00:18:46.490 --> 00:18:55.869 Radhaa Nilia: you know, I I see that things are gonna continue to shift. We will have challenges. And then at some point, you know, we're going to. It's gonna open up. But 158 00:18:55.890 --> 00:19:14.680 Radhaa Nilia: I can see the see the patterning. It's almost like an expansion of challenges that we really are meant to actually look at the shadows and overcome. But we can't do that unless we have something going on inside, where we're strong enough to see what's going on. So. 159 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:15.370 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Yeah, not. 160 00:19:15.590 --> 00:19:16.870 Radhaa Nilia: It helps. 161 00:19:16.870 --> 00:19:26.439 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: To get clarity really clear and and out of and out of the turmoil or the the chaotic emotional energy of the collective right. And and it's 162 00:19:26.690 --> 00:19:41.889 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: it's like part of the you know, with the new Earth leadership. Archetypes. It's all moving towards in this direction of of living your life, leading your life like from that place, from that deep heart centered place that's rooted in the earth, though. 163 00:19:42.020 --> 00:19:53.060 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: and, like, you know, accessing like you're talking about. And maybe this similar to what you're talking about is like the that 5 d. You know that those higher levels of consciousness 164 00:19:53.070 --> 00:19:56.840 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: and letting those guide guide you rather than 165 00:19:57.010 --> 00:19:58.380 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: the 3D. 166 00:19:58.780 --> 00:19:59.160 Radhaa Nilia: Yeah. 167 00:19:59.160 --> 00:19:59.910 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Okay. Yeah. 168 00:19:59.910 --> 00:20:04.230 Radhaa Nilia: Yeah, it's like you have a higher. You have a higher octave to work with. 169 00:20:04.230 --> 00:20:04.920 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: I. 170 00:20:05.205 --> 00:20:10.059 Radhaa Nilia: You and kind of we're we. It's important to be pulling that through our own physical bodies 171 00:20:10.730 --> 00:20:13.300 Radhaa Nilia: into the earth wherever we are, and. 172 00:20:13.300 --> 00:20:14.060 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: No. 173 00:20:14.060 --> 00:20:16.926 Radhaa Nilia: That's kind of what we're we do, you know. And 174 00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:23.380 Radhaa Nilia: yeah, it's it's that's so beautiful, though I love the new Earth leadership that's beautiful. Beautiful. 175 00:20:23.590 --> 00:20:24.420 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Oh! 176 00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:25.740 Radhaa Nilia: Needed. It's needed. 177 00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:29.130 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Very all, all of us are needed to to lead from our hearts. 178 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:30.370 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: And 179 00:20:30.630 --> 00:20:31.305 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: and 180 00:20:32.320 --> 00:20:36.819 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: I want to make sure we have time for you to read one of your beautiful poems. 181 00:20:37.170 --> 00:20:37.440 Radhaa Nilia: Yeah. 182 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:43.770 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Let's but let's say, is there any other? Is there anything else that you want to talk about before we before we close with that. 183 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.863 Radhaa Nilia: Super super quick cause. This is super 184 00:20:46.130 --> 00:20:46.820 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Yeah. 185 00:20:47.100 --> 00:21:04.769 Radhaa Nilia: So part of my mission is to amplify the voices of the new Earth leaders really, truly, like the people who are really bringing forth this new energy in whatever ways they're doing, whether that's through healing modalities, whether it's through workshops, writing. 186 00:21:04.770 --> 00:21:17.500 Radhaa Nilia: being an author, you know, or or a holistic inventor. There's so many innovations people are doing, and even the people who are just holding it down in their everyday lives, you know. 187 00:21:17.670 --> 00:21:27.119 Radhaa Nilia: that are so showing up. So I activated the Rising Star Pr program to amplify your creative voice and your brand. And so 188 00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:33.219 Radhaa Nilia: this is so exciting. We're gonna start in November and run all the way to the end of March. 189 00:21:33.280 --> 00:21:36.630 Radhaa Nilia: And it's actually a a program where 190 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:44.200 Radhaa Nilia: we get to bring the spotlight to your careers, the ones that you want to focus on, because a lot of people are transitioning their careers to. 191 00:21:44.340 --> 00:21:45.929 Radhaa Nilia: and kind of putting more. 192 00:21:46.570 --> 00:21:59.980 Radhaa Nilia: What their next. You know, leadership role is gonna be so we're gonna be meeting and doing all kinds of inner work and also work on the brands. Work on 193 00:22:00.610 --> 00:22:02.319 Radhaa Nilia: the pr aspect. 194 00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:02.860 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Which is. 195 00:22:02.860 --> 00:22:05.619 Radhaa Nilia: Like, you know, press releases. And I'm kinda gonna. 196 00:22:05.620 --> 00:22:05.980 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Hmm. 197 00:22:06.340 --> 00:22:07.669 Radhaa Nilia: How to do this. 198 00:22:07.670 --> 00:22:08.410 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Wow! 199 00:22:08.410 --> 00:22:19.490 Radhaa Nilia: But also you know, I'll keep it short. Also, we're going to be taking taking those that want to go, you know, to is on Oscar night. There's a big gala. 200 00:22:20.176 --> 00:22:20.770 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: He's a. 201 00:22:20.770 --> 00:22:35.959 Radhaa Nilia: Huge red carpet. It's a red carpet that's going to have hundreds of photographers and interviewers. And it's it's like a once in a lifetime kind of event. And I'm like, listen, you guys have to take it more seriously. If you really want your work to be known. 202 00:22:36.070 --> 00:22:37.729 Radhaa Nilia: it's important to get. 203 00:22:37.780 --> 00:22:45.889 Radhaa Nilia: Get in front of the camera. Get on stage, whatever it is. You know, you gotta get in front of the microphone. You gotta share what you're doing 204 00:22:46.100 --> 00:22:55.359 Radhaa Nilia: it could be the best idea in the world. But if you're not sharing it, it's still like hidden. So we have to step out of the shadows and into the light. Really. 205 00:22:55.360 --> 00:22:56.010 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: You know. 206 00:22:56.010 --> 00:23:02.989 Radhaa Nilia: And so we get to dress up together, we're gonna actually do a fun little party where we get to decide what we're gonna wear together. And 207 00:23:03.353 --> 00:23:19.449 Radhaa Nilia: that's just one of the zoom calls. But you know it's gonna be a journey we do together. And then afterwards we're gonna gather all the interviews and the pictures and everything, and put that all together and put that out. So it's gonna be a fun process that really empowers, you know. 208 00:23:19.450 --> 00:23:19.960 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Oh! 209 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:34.930 Radhaa Nilia: Innovators and the new Earth leaders. Really, because it's the next step we have to get up into the media. Because, you know, we're we're I. How I see it is we're bringing the light to the dark, you know. I I left Hollywood, but I come back sometimes for certain events, you know. 210 00:23:34.970 --> 00:23:59.080 Radhaa Nilia: and I always say, because if there's a purpose, if there's something to talk about, it's important to do it. You've got to step up and step in. And so you're gonna have, like people. They do all these programs. But they don't get into the spotlight. And so this is going to be shining your brightest light, but also clearing away all the fears and the traumas. We know that witch wound inside and out. 211 00:23:59.230 --> 00:24:13.400 Radhaa Nilia: You know, they're like, okay, we've we're gonna just clear that right out. All that stuff like it doesn't matter anymore. We're at the threshold. So if you really want to stand for something, you're gonna have to go even further now. 212 00:24:13.430 --> 00:24:18.685 Radhaa Nilia: So this is for those who who have that inner motivation and want. 213 00:24:19.170 --> 00:24:24.519 Radhaa Nilia: They want to do the inner work, and they want to do the outer work, and they're willing to create more 214 00:24:25.080 --> 00:24:28.080 Radhaa Nilia: information. It's really about information, right? 215 00:24:28.495 --> 00:24:28.909 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Hmm. 216 00:24:28.910 --> 00:24:32.260 Radhaa Nilia: About the work that you guys are doing 217 00:24:32.470 --> 00:24:53.579 Radhaa Nilia: the books that you're in. Whatever your messaging is, we're going to be putting it out into the world like for real putting it out into the world. So yeah, I was so excited about this and that's you know, it's new for us. But I I just got to download that it's time it's time to kind of gather in person, and then bring everybody forward. 218 00:24:53.610 --> 00:25:01.670 Radhaa Nilia: and so I'll be standing, you know, with everybody, and and kind of guiding them on their signature speech, too, because 219 00:25:01.810 --> 00:25:08.249 Radhaa Nilia: when you're on the red carpet, you have like 5 min to to put it all out there, and you can get really nervous. So. 220 00:25:08.250 --> 00:25:08.870 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Right. 221 00:25:09.490 --> 00:25:24.030 Radhaa Nilia: Altogether, we're gonna have the points so that whatever they ask you, you know what you're gonna be saying, because you know your core message. So it's gonna be so much fun. And I can't wait to invite anybody that wants to join. Just reach out. We're willing to have a combo. 222 00:25:24.760 --> 00:25:31.240 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: That really sounds amazing and very transformative and and powerful. Oh, yeah, definitely. And we'll make sure that we 223 00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:38.789 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: have that information when we publish this podcast so people can find you and find those programs. And 224 00:25:38.800 --> 00:25:43.260 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: and your your web is this on your website? Or are they. 225 00:25:43.260 --> 00:25:48.799 Radhaa Nilia: It's not yet. So most of the stuff right now I put on my link tree just because it's easier to link it. 226 00:25:49.070 --> 00:25:53.559 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: So we'll make sure we have that link, that link, that link tree. And what is it?

But you know, it came from a dream. So I had a dream like a few years ago, and in my dream it was in a field, and this this divine soul came into my dream and just embraced me, and I never forgot that feeling 256 00:28:26.360 --> 00:28:30.619 Radhaa Nilia: and how what an impact it made. So I just 257 00:28:30.770 --> 00:28:37.180 Radhaa Nilia: it's something that's like in my subconscious mind. And it just but it felt like the most beautiful. 258 00:28:37.580 --> 00:28:41.724 Radhaa Nilia: beautiful thing ever so. It just came out in a poem. 259 00:28:42.630 --> 00:28:44.709 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: I could hear like music 260 00:28:45.129 --> 00:28:47.849 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: and see a visual. You can make a. 261 00:28:47.850 --> 00:28:48.799 Radhaa Nilia: Whole movie about it. 262 00:28:50.820 --> 00:28:54.819 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Thank you so much. It's really lovely to hear your voice in in that. 263 00:28:55.030 --> 00:28:58.570 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: you know, in that frequency as well as your creatrix 264 00:28:58.650 --> 00:29:05.229 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: and your amazing artistry out and serving others through your programs. 265 00:29:05.380 --> 00:29:07.510 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: And wow. 266 00:29:07.760 --> 00:29:11.749 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: well, I know we're coming to the end of our time together. 267 00:29:11.890 --> 00:29:19.869 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: And I just want to take a moment to thank you for sharing your time with us here today? And is there any last 268 00:29:20.050 --> 00:29:25.879 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: little bits of wisdom, pearls of wisdom for us for our community here that you'd like to share. 269 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:26.890 Radhaa Nilia: Yes. 270 00:29:27.070 --> 00:29:34.780 Radhaa Nilia: I just want to say that I know that we we are in the times of so much change, transformation. 271 00:29:35.020 --> 00:29:47.140 Radhaa Nilia: and also within our own being. It's almost like we are we? We are morphing and transforming like we've never before. And so I would say not, you know, never 272 00:29:47.490 --> 00:29:53.480 Radhaa Nilia: like, make yourself wrong for whatever you're feeling or going through, I would say capture it. 273 00:29:53.610 --> 00:29:56.609 Radhaa Nilia: and and into put into your art, you know. 274 00:29:57.700 --> 00:30:16.650 Radhaa Nilia: Create a poem about it just like that dream I had. It was a dream, but it had nowhere to go, so I put it on paper. I put it in a poem. Even your rage is sacred. If you have rage, there is a reason behind it. Explore it, don't just brush it off or be like, I'm so bad because I'm feeling this way. 275 00:30:16.650 --> 00:30:35.789 Radhaa Nilia: like we have to stop demonizing ourselves for being powerfully feeling an emotional being. So that's what we are. Instead, let's transmute it, and use that fire to create something more beautiful in this world than than what was before. So that's my invitation to you. 276 00:30:36.150 --> 00:30:37.790 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Beautiful. Thank you. 277 00:30:38.590 --> 00:30:42.489 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Thank you again, and thank you. Everybody for tuning in today. 278 00:30:43.690 --> 00:30:51.389 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: remember to open your heart to the world and let your light shine out there have a beautiful, blessed day. 279 00:30:51.750 --> 00:30:53.060 Patricia Wald-Hopkins: Bye-bye, everyone.
