Yoga Book Club: The Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu

The Yoga Book Club will begin reading The Book of Joy:  Lasting Happiness in a Changing World by the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu on September 8th, 2024.  Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships—or, as they would say, because of them—they are two of the most joyful people on the planet.

In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama’s home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness’s eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question:  How do we find joy in the face of life’s inevitable suffering?  They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy.  This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye.

Join us in this lively discussion of a classic on Sunday nights at 6:00pm online.  This is a FREE class.  Just send an email to Karen@YogaTherapyWithKaren.com to join.
