Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Perugia to Rome
My time in Perugia has come to a close. Paul's meditation group was the largest since we’ve been attending. There were around 400 folks that came together to raise the roof in easy pose (among other poses, to be sure). It is always quite the experience to meet and share conversation with folks from across the globe that have gathered with the ...
