Minter Dialogue with Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo
Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo are the co-founders of the Science and Non-Duality (SAND) not-for-profit community. At SAND, they like to explore the big questions of life while celebrating the mystery of being. Zaya and Maurizio are also filmmakers and their last film, The Wisdom of Trauma, featuring Dr Gabor Maté, has been a runaway success. In the conversation, we talk about the making of this film, we explore the definition of success, and the timeliness of this film. We also look at their use of social media and the other films (especially The Art of Life) they’ve produced.
Please send me your questions — as an audio file if you’d like — to nminterdial@gmail.com. Otherwise, below, you’ll find the show notes and, of course, you are invited to comment. If you liked the podcast, please take a moment to rate it here.
About success: “There could be a longing for more [success]. The longing is kind of the perfume of success.”
