Overcoming Survivors Guilt and Learning to Love Life

Susan welcomes Ria Ray, who is an artist, a creator, and a spiritual teacher. Her life took a defining turn when she was in her late twenties and a horrible accident took the life of her immediate family. Her need to make sense of this tragedy propelled her to look within and try to make sense of the world and understand the meaning of life. Walking through her grief, she found a determination to embrace life and love, which at the time seemed rather irrational.

 

Ria is fully committed to continuing to push her own boundaries, past her internal limits, so she can feel and experience more of herself. Her drive strengthens her ability to serve the consciousness of humanity in the most expansive way possible and it is contagious to be uplifted by this energy.  From workshops where she guides people to learn to be fearless and embrace uncertainty, she moves people to own the beacon that shines within, to bypass the judgment and pain on their road to discovery.
