"Just reflect on how it felt to talk to me."

The one word that I would use to describe Dara would be rich - rich in soul, rich in emotions, rich in nature, rich in perspective, and rich in wonder. Dara felt propelled by questions about life's mysteries and decided to pave a path of her own to explore her curiosity.

Dara is a caller of freedom and liberation, but on paper, she is a trained Sociologist (Ph.D.), Developmental Coach, Integral Facilitator, Critical Theorist (M.A.), and Usui Reiki Master. She invites people to a greater lifestyle of ease by connecting with their inner self and reflecting on their problems and feelings, which inherently leads to its solution.

In today's talk, we discussed some crucial points on being there for people when they need you, inviting others to self-reflection, and what self intimacy is. We even recreated a hypothetical scenario of me being a client and how Dara would persuade me to take up therapy.

If you love talks about reflections, perspectives, and how to deal with your emotions, then this one's for you!
