#204 Flowing with Wasfia Nazreen

On this week's episode of the Bruce Lee Podcast, Shannon's guest is mountaineer and activist and dear friend of hers, Wasfia Nazreen. Wasfia and Shannon met last year at a conference they both were speaking at and they immediately connected. As it turns out, Wasfia had just moved to LA so they were able to hang out. Shannon soon learned that Wasfia is leading a full and extraordinary life. She is most known for being the ONLY Bangladeshi and first Bengali in the world to climb the Seven Summits – which are the highest mountains of every continent. Including Chomolungma (that's Mount Everest to those of us who only know the colonialized name). Her passion, however, has always been driven by causes close to her heart, which are grounded in a strong foundation of meditation and self-realization practices. An outspoken activist since her late teens, Wasfia has risked everything for the causes she believes in. She has had the good fortune to learn meditation from some of the foremost teachers of our time, including His Holiness Dalai Lama (who she counts as a parental figure, mentor and lifelong friend.) Wasfia is a National Geographic Explorer AND Adventurer and the only woman to hold these simultaneous titles. Wasfia also recently battled her way through a very tough bout with the coronavirus this year. This nontraditional Bangladeshi woman is a survivor who found her home in the wilds of nature and her peace within. For her full bio, please see the show notes for this episode. And now, Shannon hopes you enjoy her conversation with this activist, speaker, pilot, spiritual seeker, explorer, adventurer and mountaineer, Wasfia Nazreen.
