Maybe your next therapist shouldn’t be a therapist
Fast Pray Meditate: A Concert of the Mind Interview with Kenny Robinson, Founder of Fast Pray Meditate PATHWAYS INTERVIEW INTERVIEW BY PATHWAYS STAFF Several years ago, Kenny Robinson, a local wellness coach, writer, and avid Yoga practitioner, came across this quote from Aristotle, “it is possible that the many, though not individually good men, yet when they come together may be better, not individually but collectively, than those who are so, just as public dinners to which many contribute are better than those supplied at one man’s cost”. Aristotle is credited as the first person to write about this idea of the “wisdom of the crowd” — a social choice theory that places value on the collective opinion of a diverse independent group of individuals rather than that of a single expert. Robinson was heavily influenced by this insight. Building on the idea that if enough people commit their innate energy to the foster- ing of their individual compassion, love, and desire to live in peace in a focused way, all in the same day, he believes we may be able to influence others to want to do the same, and collectively bring about positive change. Guided by this belief, Robinson founded the “Fasting for Peace’’ day. Pathways reached out to Kenny to learn more about his mission to create a wave of positive influence of hope and peace, starting with the hearts and minds here in the Washington metropolitan area. We talk about how the original idea was sparked, why he feels the urgency at this time, what the fasting day involves, and what everyone can do to get involved in bringing about positive change.
Eric Weinstein It’s Not Therapy (It’s Problem Solving)
Did you know that: • Licensed therapists are limited to certain approaches by “standards of care” that leave out a number of highly effective healing modalities? • Even if you’re paying out-of-pocket for your sessions, your therapist might be unable to use anything “different” because of insurance company requirements and state regulations? I’m not a therapist, but I always have therapists among my clients. They come to me for: • the most ancient healing modality (shamanic healing) • proven, but less conventional modalities (hypnosis/ NLP and Eye Movement Integration [similar to EMDR, but gentler]) • the most exciting new energy modalities (Energy Psychology, such as EFT or “tapping” on meridian points, biofield work, and chakra manipulation) • intriguing coaching modalities (including Motivational Interviewing, True Purpose coaching, and Archetypal coaching) And they come for all the same problems they’ve seen one of their more conventional colleagues for – as well as problems of a spiritual/energetic nature. So, whether you’re struggling with the newer stresses of the pandemic or with older issues that keep you from being who you want to be, call to find out how I can help.

Kenny, your interest in collective wellness is something you’ve been thinking about and involved with for quite some time. Can you tell our readers a little bit of your back story? Back in 2007 to 2008, I attended a series of lectures presented by the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in New York City. They offered me the opportunity to learn about different, healthier dietary options I could in turn share with my clients. One weekend a month about a thousand fellow students would meet in Lincoln Center to lis- ten to speakers and learn about many aspects of diets and how to live holistically to improve your individual health. What I noticed is that after each speaker spoke, on whatever the continued on page 26
