This is a virtual event and free of cost. 

Beyond the socks or sweaters found wrapped under the tree are the real gifts of Christmas: spiritual stories and practices which exemplify the many gifts of our spirits and the depth of their involvement. Gifts which are there for the taking, whether we realize it or not. But how do we understand, how do we embrace, how do we listen to these spirits during the busy holidays, or when daily struggles with personal, work, or social situations become overwhelming? How do we open this spirit-filled box?
