“The Challenges and Gifts of Transformation,” Adi Paul Marino, with celebrant Aera Atkins. Change and transformation are often difficult, but with the right understanding, challenges can serve as a catalyst to realize the gifts and beauty of the human experience.  Each of us has a unique relationship to growth and development, where our trials and tribulations serve to open our hearts and eyes to the bigger picture in life.   The more we can embrace the challenges, the greater is the gift that follows.  Adi will lead a meditation and give a talk on embracing change and welcoming transformation.  He will speak from his perspective as a spiritual guide and seer, drawing on his training in Tibetan Buddhism, Classical Yoga, and the Spiritual Psychology of the Enneagram. This service will be in person only.
