Dates: Thursday, June 30, 2022, 7 pm ET
Available by: Join by Videoconference Only (learn more about videoconference)
Suggested Love Offering: $ 10.00

Facilitated by Rev. Diane Berke

Aldous Huxley, author of The Perennial Wisdom, the most comprehensive distillation of the universal wisdom traditions, said near the end of his life, "It's a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'try to be a little kinder.'

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has said, "My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness." And the author Henry James wrote, "Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind."

Join Rev. Diane Berke, One Spirit's Founder and Spiritual Director, to celebrate the transformative power of kindness as spiritual practice through poetry, music, and sharing.
