Tibetan Momo Dinner and Movie Night featuring WISDOM OF HAPPINESS: A HEART-TO-HEART WITH THE DALAI LAMA 

This new documentary shows us a timeless truth: happiness is still possible, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.

With disarming clarity and deep humanity, he invites us to imagine — and help create — a world where compassion is activated as our strongest force for change, and happiness is within reach for everyone.  (2024, 90 minutes)  Dinner includes momos, salad, other tasties, shared community and the movie.
