Feb. 07, 2020 12:00 p.m. - 1:15 p.m.
We got a great line up for February! Our first speaker is: Vanessa Wideski - Executive Director from Low Entropy Bio: For most of her life, Vanessa has been on a search for Big Truth, this curious nature has taken her on many adventures across the globe. In 2008 Vanessa made her way back home to Canada and decided to settle down, get married, have kids and start a business with her husband. She experienced a lot of success and endured some tumultuous times and is very grateful for all that she learned. In 2014 Vanessa experienced a turning point as she and her husband separated and filed for a divorce in 2015. Vanessa found herself back on the path of self-inquiry and chose to walk away from her business and embark upon a new journey that was more aligned with her pursuit for Life’s Big Questions; Who am I and Why am I here? After making this decision Vanessa experienced many meaningful acts of synchronicity as everything began to fall into place. She is now loving her current role as the executive director of Low Entropy. In Vanessa’s spare time, when she’s not making memories with her children, she’s doing her best to help spread the message of Love through this non-profit organization. Always striving to lower her own entropy first, Vanessa leads by example as someone who is doing what she can to actively participate in this paradigm shift moving us from fear to Love. See everyone there!

As many of you may be aware that the Wildlife Rescue Association is one of the organization that we've worked together with the Interactors to raise funds to their cause for the first walkathon back in October 2019. Following that successful walkathon - we had the pleasure to hand them a cheque with the Interactors in November.

WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE COVID-19 ALL FIGURED OUT – There is something else there we haven’t talked about with it…. Everyone in this world has been impacted by COVID19 in some way or another. It’s has already settled into our lives. It had spread so swiftly and quietly without warning. However, there is one thing that one individual that voiced out in an article: [COVID-19] One Important Recommendation You May Not be Hearing, which has spread faster than the virus itself. That spread is FEAR. So how does one try to alleviate these False Expectations Appearing Real aka FEAR? The Rotary club of Burnaby has invited: Dr. Eugene K. Choi who is a certified transformational mindset coach with a background in clinical pharmacy and filmmaking. As he dove deep into neuroscience, he discovered a proven approach that helps leaders significantly improve company productivity, profitability, and team performance through a science-backed methodology he brings his clients through. He had written the article to voice that concern back in March 18, 2020 to explain how FEAR is deadlier than the virus itself. Since then, his article has gone viral with many medical doctors and nurses sharing the article to provide awareness for it. We’re excited to bring Dr. Choi to touch on how COVID 19 relates to fear, and how it affects the mind and how the brain works in such a state. He’ll also share some techniques on how to alleviate that stress and be able to see the solutions and opportunities to better our community as a whole to be positive. Details of Dr. Choi: Please join the Zoom Meeting: Friday, June 19, 2020 12 PM; just click on, or copy and paste in your browser, this link: Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81569455084?pwd=TFVKSHJPbWlWV09oamljS2cxZTdFQT09 Meeting ID: 815 6945 5084 Password: 998661 Find your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kbN4BQ38T If you're calling (this is basically the old school "Party Line" type of telecon) in instead of video calling - please follow these steps.
