Ben and Fyodor, feel your energy and passion. Ben you taught me the possibilities of what I could experience virtually at a time when I could not yet imagine it. Now I know. Fyodor, the intensity and depth of what you write and are igniting are equally compelling. What a duo team. I can't attend unfortunately but I urge others to follow their intuition if they think this might interest them.
