There is a moment on the continuum of transformation, when we are not who we have been and not quite who we are becoming. At Sacred Space this August, we explore through insight, storytelling, song and ritual our evolving awareness during times of uncertainty. This program was inspired by the butterfly’s stages of development. Insight speaker is Pankaj Sharma, with musical performances by Mandala, also stories and inspiration by Rev.
