Conversations on The Spiritual Path: Brisbane Event
I am honored to have the opportunity to spend an evening in Brisbane with the local community, offering anyone who cares to join in on a question and answer journey that delves deep into difficult life questions.
We’ll spend the evening together contemplating such topics as balanced living, after-life, karma, fear, stress, relationships, parenting and much more. If you happen to be in the Brisbane area on the 28th of October, feel free to stop by. Learn more and register for the event here. Space is limited so reserve your spot soon.
I will be offering more of these Conversations on The Spiritual Path in various locations, so keep checking our events calendar to learn where I will be next. If you are interested in hosting a Conversations on The Spiritual Path in your community, contact Erin at erin@dandapani.org.
