Partners in Time Presents: Claire Hoffman in Conversation with Reza Aslan

December 4, 2016 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Partners in Time members at the Near Future ($500+) level and above are invited to an exclusive event featuring author Claire Hoffman in conversation with scholar Reza Aslan (Zealot; No God but God).

The pair will discuss Claire’s recent book, Greetings from Utopia Park: Surviving a Transcendent Childhood, about the author’s experience growing up in an isolated meditation community — an “uncommon take on entirely common experience of self-discovery.”

Join us on December 4 as we gather in support of 826LA’s free educational programs for Los Angeles students. Hosted by DeAnna and Kenny Gravillis, this intimate afternoon affair will bring cocktails, conversation, and creativity together in celebration of 826LA’s work in the community.

Claire Hoffman brilliantly captures a world that is at once familiar and exotic, yet it is more than that.
It is about the meaning of faith in the modern world and how the simple desire for spiritual connection can sometimes lead to devastating consequences.
— Reza Aslan
