An Inspired Gift from Two Global Icons
Feeling the pain of the world and recognizing how many are struggling with isolation and despair, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu met one last time before Arch’s passing to create a final gift for us all – poignant, practical, and often humorous teachings on how we can live with more Joy, even during deeply troubled times.
How can we meet the ordinary and profound challenges that surround us, and live with Joy in a deeply hurting world? Be inspired by the contagious Joy of these self-described “mischievous brothers” and learn from 30+ spiritual teachers, Joy researchers, visionary change makers, and artists. Join the celebration and exploration. Live the Joy.
