The Radical Act of Savoring Pleasant Moments

|
| In this talk, writer, activist and artist Ari Honarvar introduces the mindful practice of savoring joy.

When faced with hardship, experiencing joy is a superpower of resilience. Through her background in providing workshops for refugees, she explains how to incorporate savoring pleasant moments in order to improve our well-being, even in the toughest environments. |

And as I neatly unfold each players board, the kitchen table fills with forests, fields, and streams. The night dissolves into swirls of pastel feathers spread across the tabletop as we deal the first round of cards.
