  SPEAKER_00: It has been a wonderfully full week.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: I've been immersed in three online workshops simultaneously,
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: each one with the same purpose, to become better at what I do.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: I've always believed that one of the best investments we can make is in ourselves
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: and in our work.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: I have to admit, though, my brain feels just a little mushy as I record this.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: But I've also learned that when the mind is full,
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: the heart sometimes has a little more room to speak.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Last week, we explored ripples of connection.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: Today, I'd like to follow those ripples a little farther,
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: not just among us here and now,
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: but across generations through the timeless language of archetypes.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: Archetypes are those universal figures that seem to live within all of us.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: The seeker, the guide, the bridge, The Wisdom Keeper.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: They're more than characters in stories.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: They're patterns of human experience that remind us we are part
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: of something much larger than ourselves.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: When I think about ripples, I see how these archetypes carry wisdom across time.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: A seeker in her twenties Maybe asking many of the same questions I asked decades ago.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: A
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: wisdom keeper may embody the steadiness I now hope to cultivate.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: Their lives remind us that our journeys are connected across generations,
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: across cultures,
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: and across the invisible threads that bind us together as human beings.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: Very soon,
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'll be sitting down with yet another wisdom keeper,
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: having a visual conversation with someone who beautifully embodies one
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: of these archetypes.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: I won't tell you who just yet.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: Every good story deserves a little mystery.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm already wondering what ripples her story will create
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: and what It might awaken in each of us.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: So today, I'd like to leave you with a question.
• 3:10
