Almost Home chronicles Mirabai Bush’s remarkable life across several tumultuous decades, from NASA to an ashram in India and finally to the foundational role she played in the establishment of Eastern spiritual traditions in North America. Raised Catholic with Joan of Arc as her hero, Mirabai is among the most influential people who brought Buddhism to the West from India in the 1970s. Her life tells a fascinating narrative of our time: the rediscovery of contemplative practices, in many forms and from many traditions, in secular modern culture.
Moderated by Matt Tannenbaum of the Lenox Bookstore, this conversation will explore Mirabai’s remarkable journey as chronicled in Almost Home, and the legacy that extends far beyond its pages.
