About This Webinar
The first live webinar from The Subtle Art School took place on Feb 19, and I covered everything from values, friendships and self-help addiction, to psychedelics, dictatorship, and my experience writing with Will.
I answered 29 questions in total and have broken the video up into chapters for an easier viewing experience. So watch the whole thing or just hit the chapters icon sitting bottom right of the video control bar.
Thanks to anyone who joined, the questions were solid. For those who couldn’t be there, get stuck into the replay and I’ll see you at the next one.
The next webinar will be in March some time. Keep an eye out for info.
