Friday April 10 and Saturday April 11, 2015 St Stephens Episcopal Church 1344 Nipomo Street ~ San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 805-543-7212 The modern age developed knowledge but at the expense of wisdom. The result has been ecological disaster, destitution for the indigenous peoples everywhere, loneliness and a loss of meaning and shared values in our lives. Religions have too often promoted an exclusivism which has rent the human family apart and separated us from what unites us.. We need…

These classes are run by Pamela Taylor and Sigrid Long respectively. I can’t say enough about how wonderful these classes are in regards to benefiting myself physically. Before being involved in the classes I had found myself with the dubious pleasure of waking up pretty much as stiff as an old deserted surf board found…
