The corporate group seminars I run are now largely on hold, or moved online, since all in-person events have now been postponed or indefinitely cancelled.

This “level” of our mundane experience is what Mindell calls the consensus reality level, as we can all agree on what we can observe, as distressing and horrifying it may be.
Now is obviously the time to focus on the emergency of helping those directly affected by the virus, as far too many lives are lost every day, and as the health care professionals are our frontline heroes against this virus.
