THE SEARCH

What is the journey in between the event we call "birth" and the one we call "death"? Is the journey taking you somewhere, or are you leading yourself to some kind of destination - a destination that could extend beyond your last breath? What do you want from your life during the in between? The questions are there. And, the answers are too. We will be using a seven part video series to assist us on our venture. Won't you join us.
