Join Elle in the backyard as she explores two types of dreams - one that holds us back, one that invites us forward, but both require love, growth, learning, change, adaptability, and bravery. Stasis and fear get and keep us stuck, often without us knowing. Evaluate your dreams and how you relate to them in this short episode. Learn how art and, in particular, poetry can open up truths to you that you hadn't previously seen. Unpack the profound poetry of Hafiz and his poem "Forgive the Dream."

I.L.Y. merchandise to spread the love to all those you encounter available at redbubble.com at the VRNACLR X LYHL shop.
