DHARMA TALKThe Great Turning
Falling Into Grace
Join us on the eve of the winter solstice for this online talk by Dr. Larry Ward, renowned author and guiding teacher of the Lotus Institute.
As we move deeper into winter, a season infused with contemplation and rest, we come together to explore how to fall with grace into change. Change is all around us, inside of us, and out in the streets. So what does it look like and feel like to embrace this impermanence, rather than resisting and fighting? Are you ready to turn towards an ever-expanding heart?
The evening will include meditations from Peggy Rowe Ward. We recommend attending live for the full experience. The event will be recorded and shared with everyone who registers.
