After a lifetime of metaphysical study and practice, a journalist joins a diverse community of joyful spiritual pioneers in a remote British Columbia valley. There, she, her family, and her neighbors explore the down-to-earth application of the Bhagavad-gita's profound and beautiful teachings. Along with comic and cosmic challenges, these daring individuals harvest the Gita's rich and relevant guidance - guidance suited for any time, place, and circumstance.
