“Elizabeth and Kitty were like our matriarchs, godmothers to all”

In this charming and thoughtful talk, Janet Files recounts her journey from a “Leave it to Beaver” childhood to a life with Meher Baba. Noting that a “restlessness” prompted her to travel overseas as a young woman, she never quite found what she was looking for. She eventually heard about Meher Baba and landed at Dilruba where “This lovely woman meets me at the door, it’s Kitty Davy.” Rich with tidbits about the history of the Center in the early 1970s, her story is not to be missed!
