Summary

Sandy B hosted the Far Corners Retreat every year from 2007 until this last one in 2012. This was a mens retreat intended to explore growth in spirituality, humility and forgiveness. The topic for the first three parts is - Our Society. Sandy B spoke and led workshops all over the world for many years. Part 2 of 7.
