Are We Living in a Dark Age?

Leopoldo Villela
Sunday, June 16: 10:30am-12pm
2500 years after he first taught it, how does Buddha’s advice on the First Noble Truth – “Life is suffering” – apply to all
​of us today?  Join us as Leo leads us in an exploration of this question.


Our session will include time for Q&A, discussion, meditation and delicious home-made breakfast treats. Everyone is welcome.
