Film: “Tree of Fire” and Q&A, Meeting Place

Tree of Fire: A Story of Love and Resilience tells the incredible story of the loss, recovery and the spiritual connection of Baba’s Tree – a once-thriving oak, devastated by fire, that rises from the ashes to offer love and comfort.
The tree is located on a mountaintop in Southern California at Meher Mount, a universal spiritual center dedicated to the spiritual leader Avatar Meher Baba. While visiting in 1956, Meher Baba spent time alone inside the canopy of this coast live oak, and it became a spiritual landmark known as Baba’s Tree.
In December 2017, the Thomas Fire struck Meher Mount. The fire and high winds toppled and badly damaged Baba’s Tree. Volunteers worked together to give the tree the love and care it had given them for years.
Tree of Fire: A Story of Love and Resilience is the story told by the people who nursed the tree back to health and found new and meaningful ways to carry the legacy of Baba’s Tree forward.
Through personal testimonies and breathtaking imagery, the film invites viewers to rediscover their own capacity for healing, transformation, and spiritual awakening.

Following the showing of the film, Margaret Magnus and Sam Ervin will answer questions from the audience.
