Upcoming events....
Wednesday, January 18 - Eric Weiner in conversation with Lisa Napoli
Weiner is author of the New York Times bestseller “The Geography of Bliss.” A longtime “spiritual voyeur,” he realizes that while he has been privy to a wide range of religious practices, he’s never seriously considered these concepts in his own life, but faced with his own mortality, he undertakes a worldwide exploration of religions in search of a personal understanding of the divine. His new book is, Man Seeks God: My Flirtations with the Divine.  Napoli is journalist and author of Radio Shangri-La; What I learned in Bhutan, The Happiest Kingdom on Earth.
