Listen to Billy Ward share his experience during this moment in time. Billy is first and foremost the father of two beautiful sons, he is a teacher, a therapist, a retreat director, and loves yoga! Billy used this time and space to really take a deep hard look at the relationship he has with himself and the neurotic thoughts that are at the root of some unhealthy and untrue thinking. Billy relied on yoga, prayer and meditation to structure his days and used the Hero’s Journey Model to cultivate a shift from fear to love. As a result of this experience, Billy feels more free. More free to be himself and share the love in his heart.
