This week’s topic is “Fluidity and Flux: Gateways to a Kinder, More Inclusive World”

    When Less is More

    Recorded : April 8, 2018

    Gautam Buddha said he gained nothing from complete awakening. What are our everyday experiences of the magic of less? Trying less does not mean less energy, connection or insight.
