A mindset and practices leading to a happy and fulfilling life: soprano, Serena Sáenz

<p>If someone would ask me to describe this episode, I would say two words - beauty of thought and gratefulness.  On the last day of 2021, I am sharing this spiritual, but also very down to earth conversation with soprano from Barcelona  Serena Sáenz. Serena is among those remarkable people who I have been lucky to meet while living and studying in Barcelona. Little did we know that in 5 years since then, Serena will be singing with the world famous conductors including Daniel Barenboim and that during her first season as a member of the Staatsoper Berlin International Opera Studio, Serena will be asked to jump in as Pamina for the opening night of Yuval Sharon’s production of <i>Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute). </i>I am so thrilled to be able to bring you this conversation which, I believe, is the best fit to positively end this year and gracefully start the new year. Enjoy and Happy New Year!</p><p><br /><a href="https://www.patreon.com/openartedpodcast">Support the podcast</a></p><p><strong>Check out more info about the host Monika Lozinskienė</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.monikapianiste.com/en/contact">www.monikapianiste.com/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/masanauskaitemonika/">instagram</a></li></ul><p><br />About <a href="https://www.serenasaenz.com/about">Serena Sáenz</a></p><p>Serena's <a href="https://www.instagram.com/serena_saenz/?hl=en">IG</a><br />About the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukyo_Mahikari">spiritual practice</a> Serena mentioned.</p><p>Episode music - M.
