This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam is pleased to welcome Author and Professor, Kamla K. Kapur.
Kamla is a versatile and celebrated writer, who seamlessly weaves her Indian heritage with her experiences here in the United States to craft captivating literary works spanning plays, novels, poetry, essays, and reimagining of Indian spiritual texts. She is the author of 8 books.
Her latest book is The Privilege of Aging, Savoring the Fullness of Life.
Kamla has moved beyond her identity as an author into her identity as a crumbling old person who continues to write passionately whenever the Universe allows. At 76 she is moving from a search for meaning to an experience of existence, of the profoundly simple gifts, food, exercise, contemplation, silence, stretching, resting, her Yorkie doggie daughter sleeping on her lap, her husband holding her hand in sleep.
She is giving away possessions and property with a warm hand to live the rest of her life unencumbered, nonattached, free, affirming life even as she moves towards an affirmation of death. So far all is well.
She hopes all the tricks and techniques she diligently practices will come to her aid in the inherent uncertainty and challenges of her future.
Tune in and share all of your questions and comments about aging and death on our YouTube livestream or on our Facebook page.
Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
