At Childhood’s End
A Dharma talk by Dr. Larry Ward

In this month's talk, Dr. Ward will use the life stages of a butterfly as a powerful symbol to show how we as living beings and are in the chrysalis stage of our transformation. Even as others wrap themselves in the cocoon of the past, hiding from self and societal transformation. It is time to shed old ways of seeing and looking if humanity is to evolve. Our faithful and urgent choice in these globally challenging times is cocoon or chrysalis.
