0:18.8	Namaste and welcome. It feels really lovely to begin with that Namaste. As many of you know,
0:32.5	Namaste means I see the divine in you and in me and in all beings. And what an amazing way to
0:41.2	to encounter ourselves in the world. You probably know that in the West, instead of Namaste,
