In this online q+a session, Trudy and Lisa will answer questions about The Dharma of Desire retreat: what to expect each day, what inspired the exploration of desire, who the retreat is for, as well as questions from those in attendance. Come with many curiosities and leave with clarity about how this retreat will serve you.
