Seeds of Compassion ’08

Spirituality & Youth Dialogue:
Interspiritual Panel Discussion
With His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and other spiritual leaders
April 15, 2008 

Anchored by the deep wisdom of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, this community–focused event celebrated and explored the relationships, programs and tools that nurture and empower children, families and communities to be compassionate members of society. Due to other travel, I was able to attend only one day of this historic 5-day event. But it was a great blessing to be a part of it.
See the images from the 2008 conference below.

You can order signed, archival prints in small, medium and large. A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of prints and originals will be donated to http://www.seedsofcompassion.org/.
