| 0:00.0 | Greetings to you my loves. If you are listening to this the week it came out then that means |
| 0:07.1 | I'm in Hawaii at a Ram Das retreat. I go to these once a year, missed last year because |
| 0:15.4 | of the thing, but if you want to check out the Ram Das retreat did you know you can just |
| 0:20.0 | go to Ramdas.org. They're going to be live streaming everything. So if you want to |
| 0:25.9 | watch me interview some of the wonderful teachers that are going to be at this retreat you can |
| 0:32.0 | find it at Ramdas.org. The next few intros are going to be bare bones style intros because |
| 0:41.3 | I am on vacation, but I'm so happy that you are listening to the DTFH, especially this |

| 1:46.6 | podcast. So with us here today is Melissa McKay. If you want to connect with her you can find |
| 1:54.1 | her at Melissa McKay.net. She has been teaching meditation since the 90s. She is a teacher |

| 2:09.3 | in is if you're interested in any of these teachers they are an email away and I would |
| 2:15.6 | really recommend connecting with her if you are looking for somebody to take you a little |
