INTERVIEW
ES: What’s your perspective on taking risks? Is it more important to you to have opportunity for dreaming, building, failing, succeeding, or security?
BB: Opportunity. Hands down. I listen to an inner-guidedness, Elizabeth. I listen to my heart. I trust it and am guided by it. Often it takes me to unexpected, dangerous, thrilling, heartbreaking, heart-opening — beautiful places. This passion to serve life is so strong that I’ve let it take me where other people fear to tread. It allows me to take a chance on things that, in the past, were I looking for security, I wouldn’t have attempted. I was in Israel while it was under attack and the Iron Dome was up. I just have a feeling that I will die when it is my time to die; not before. There is a quiet trust inside. I don’t want to call it a fearlessness – I’m certainly not without fear – but it does give me the motivation to go where others might feel there is no security. In business as well. For instance I’m going to Romania at
the end of September. I go to a lot of Eastern European countries that were behind the iron curtain. In Romania’s case it was run by the ruthless dictator CeauÐescu, for the last years before they became a free country. These are countries that have a history of people living in oppressed conditions where their lives were daily in peril. They’re poor countries brought to their knees
by the regime. Whenever I go, I have no idea if it’s going to be a successful venture. Yet there’s a deep desire there to heal from all the horrors that happened in Romania. That’s what pulls me to any country. Yes, I take a lot of financial risks in
going to those countries, and I charge a lot less for The Journey because they simply can’t afford it. On a financial level, if you’re talking about that kind of security, yes, if it means I can help people come to a sense of wholeness after their whole lives have been fractured, shattered, yes, this is time well spent. Estonia is another place I feel strongly
called to. After WWII, when the Russians came in, they took 200,000 of the intelligentsia — the doctors, lawyers, magistrates, professors and teachers — and shipped them out to Siberia. This is in a small country of only 2 million. They were replaced with Siberian peasants. If you were a child and you spoke up against the regime, made some sarcastic comment about the KGB in the schoolyard, someone in your family could be killed for your insubordinate attitude. One of my students shared that her father made some comment in the schoolyard about the KGB, and he was not punished directly, but had to watch his parents being shot in front of them. Why do Estonians never even raise their hand when I’m teaching a class? Because they’re afraid if they say the wrong thing they’ll be killed, or their family will be killed. It’s in their DNA.
This is why I feel so drawn to take the financial risk to go to countries that have been war torn, where, in their DNA, they’ve learned you can’t speak up. In Romania, if your grandmother was seen praying in a church, not just seeing it as a historical monument, the grandmother could disappear because religion wasn’t allowed. These are very real issues that are getting stored inside people’s DNA. Am I willing to take a risk and put my whole heart into serving that kind of background and epigenetics? Yes, because The
