On mastery and apprenticeship

A fairly freewheeling episode in which I share thoughts on mastery and apprenticeship. In recent weeks I have had the privilege and joy to share in person with several long term colleagues whom I had not seen for some time. More than once this topic came up. It seems in the world today that genuine mastery of a particular art, craft or discipline is perhaps rarer than only a short time ago. In a world that offers endless distractions that never bring lasting satisfaction and perpetuate some level of dis-ease, yoga offers a time-proven method to cultivate a lifelong spirit of apprenticeship and inquiry so we may actually approach greater mastery and fulfilment in this lifetime.
