Online Talk: The Path of Pilgrimage, Traveling Within

ZOOM – Email for link: kstanisavljevic@uchicago.edu

In this online talk with the Second Tuesday Hypnosis Group (formerly known as the Association for the Advancement of Ethical Hypnosis), Katarina will share about her journeys traveling through the Himalayas, meeting masters and mystics across Buddhist holy lands, including but not limited to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, visiting remote historic sites, speaking with pilgrims, devotees and wanderers, both local and foreign, and making friends with herself and the world again and again. Through storytelling, photos and video, the transformative aspects of pilgrimage will illuminate how leaving home can bring us closer to our original, timeless home within.
