Refreshments and discussion follow until 7 p.m.

Narrated by actor Harrison Ford, Dalai Lama Awakening presents the profound and life-changing journey of innovative Western thinkers who travel to India to meet with the Dalai Lama to solve many of the world’s problems.

There is comedy and tension alike as egos emerge leading up to a session with the Dalai Lama. Join vicariously with the participants on their transformational journey and then talk about it with your fellow filmgoers.
