“Transformation: Thresholds and Layers”, March 3, 2024

Every day we cross thresholds - real and imagined - that can change how we view and relate to the world around us. Each time we change, we add to the layers of experience we accumulate over our lives: deposits of joy and sorrow on the foundation of who we are. Crossing and changing are just other ways of transforming. Join us as we examine the possibilities and challenges of transformation.
