Finding Calm in Stormy Waters and Joy in Tribulation

· What is the meaning of our experiences of suffering? What purposes might these experiences serve for our spiritual growth?
· Are joy and suffering related?
· How do our perspectives on reality affect the way we experience difficulties in life? How can we change our perspectives?
· What might be the meaning of the tribulations our world seems to be going through at this time?

People of all backgrounds and beliefs are invited to contribute to the inquiry, dialogue, and learning that occurs at our meetings. As we learn from each other and grow together, we hope to build bridges of unity and respect for all humanity.
