An Urban Devi event with Amrita-keli Devi Dasi

Description: Shakespeare wrote that there are tongues in trees, and good in everything - cueing us to the lessons that await us everywhere, if we only have eyes to see. We will look at stories from the Bhakti tradition where lessons come in unlikely places, and explore unusual teachers in our own lives.
