Dharma is the day-to-day journey of uncovering your calling. The group explores what dharma needs to develop amid relentless distractions, how play, quiet introspection and trusted conversations nourish our soul, and how attaining freedom may be a better measurement than declaring success.Today’s topic was inspired by the book, The Great Work of Your Life, by Steven Cope.
