Event Description
Tibet has long featured in the Western imagination as a land of magic and mysticism (and yetis). In this presentation we will explore the “Roof of the World” with regard to the history of its cultures and religions, review its engagement with Western spirituality and psychology, and perhaps glimpse the real basis of its cryptic allure.
