DHO (US) 5/20/20 - 5/22/20

For those who were unable to attend the May 20, 21, 22 zoom meeting, I was inspired to collect some of the highlights and remembered my video editing skills.

This past Sunday, I had the great fortune to be able to share with a number of our DHO family what felt like a pre-screening of a 1 hour movie that is a compilation of “highlights” from the recent zoom DHO meeting organized by our family in Germany. Many of us felt that we had just been at a “live” DHO event.

Enclosed is a link to the “highlights” and also links to the 3 zoom meetings. There are many very special moments and inspired teaching by Saul and Ananda and great songs from Aslan. Since there were more highlights than I could get in a 1 hour video, some of the amazing presentations are only in the full files (only 1.25 hours each).
