Join the Social Circle as we meet author Helen Burns and hear about her book “Andal’s Garland”. Helen’s interest in Eastern traditions began in 1975. One day, entering the gates of an Indian temple where Araiyers dance past midnight, the seeds for "Andal’s Garland" were sown. It has been described as a rich and immersive sensory experience of Indian life, culture and history; a story of beauty and poetry of the 8th century interwoven with a contemporary search for self-enlightenment.
