A Blueprint for a New Society: Men's Event
Come to this men’s event to hear Subhuti give us the Buddhist ‘Blueprint for a New Society’. It’s not a technical or political plan, but a vision for ethical and spiritual renewal, starting with the individual and radiating out through communities that live by shared, meaningful Values. Real change begins with inner transformation, and the society of the future must reflect the highest spiritual aspirations of humanity.
In person, just turn up.
