Why Your True Calling Might Require a Break from Tradition | Melody Ehsani

March 24, 2017, in Videos > Talk, by

In this talk, produced by the wonderful team behind Bahaiteachings.org, Baha’i fashion designer Melody Ehsani recounts a time when she was at a deep spiritual crossroads and when she questioned everything, including her purpose, her role and the existence of God. She learned to meditate and found a way to put questions to her higher self. That spiritual practice, along with the Baha’i Faith’s teachings, gave her the confidence to follow her own path.
