As individuals and society, we have become out of balance with the elemental dimensions of life. Confronted by the presence of violence, doubt and delusion, we have overcompensated with fire and cut ourselves off from the healing waters available in every moment.
In this month's talk, Dr. Ward, with his poetic and powerful wisdom, will share guidance on the steps we can take to reestablish balance with the elemental dimensions of water and fire. At this moment in history, the lives of generations to come depend on our response to the alchemist's call.
The evening will start with a short meditation from Peggy Rowe Ward, Lotus Institute co-founder and senior teacher, to help ground us together into the theme of the evening.
