In response to the onset of the current crisis, on the 28th of March 2020, I ran an online training class entitled the Two Wolves. There is a Native American tradition which says that we all embody two wolves. The wolves are constantly fighting for control over our attention, actions, and choices. The Wolves represent our better nature and our tendency to be selfish and greedy. I call these The Wolf of Fear and The Wolf of Freedom. The Wolf of Freedom, in my mind, represents freedom from fear. There is a story that a wise man once taught his grandson that *the wolf that wins is the wolf that you feed.* In these difficult times, Fear becomes a very real thing and the stress, worry, and anxiety that it creates can cause us as many problems as the adversity itself. In this training session I taught a meditation design to help us notice the narrative of fear taking our attention and gives us an alternative to it.
