Film Discussion Group – In Person

Each month we get together to discuss a film that leads to conversations on how to live a more meaningful life.  Everyone watches the movies on their own time, and then we meet in person to discuss the movies.  Please RSVP if you plan on coming.  If you have any questions, please contact Chris at austinfamily.chris@protonmail.com


Date
: Sunday, November 24
Time:   11:00am to 12:30pm

Location: The Meaningful Life Center – 116 Carr St. Knoxville TN 37919

Workshop Leader: Chris Austin
Chris is a happily-married husband, passionate father of three children, friend to many, and a budding writer and workshop leader. He is an electrical engineer who uses his education to help industrial plants in East Tennessee optimize their facilities for both safety and efficiency. He considers himself to be a spiritual refugee and a searcher for truth and how to live in harmony with it.
