I was excited to bring back to our students Natacha Alpert, who is proving to be a renaissance and futurist young woman. She has been a guest twice previously, once on June 28, 2022 and once in October of 2021.
Culturally and socially, Natacha is a diverse young woman, with a background that spans from the Middle East, through Europe, Asia, and the U.S.A. Her strength of character, curiosity, charm, warmth, and independence, have given her a unique perspective, with insight into the understanding of technology today, as well as the time, space, and place continuum needed in building the future.
Natacha reminds us we are to be conscious and open to the new ideas and opportunities that are everywhere around us with courage, responsibility and accountability for the future. Knowing we have the talents, and what some would call the ability to channel the divine, to create new life choices with Conscious stewardship.

In this Conversation, we will have an opportunity to see how one man’s life path through environment and its experiences had a direct effect on his physical, emotional, and cultural self-image. The values that developed and the behaviors that resulted.
His courage to look within to find unique Insight and Wisdom, from what he learned from his encounters in life.
To demonstrate to us all that there are opportunities everywhere for those who can do the strategic thinking, and then have the courage to seize those opportunities to change our minds!
You have more than you think you have. You can do more than you think you can. You alone are responsible to learn and to use your natural intelligence, talents, and abilities, which the ancient call your Divine given gift to create a life of your choice. In its broadest sense, to uncover something not yet known; it is the communication of truth and knowledge from a sense of higher consciousness in what appears as common daily circumstances. Join me as we discuss Thomas's journey from sense to soul.
