But where did his story start?

Charles W. Pearl is a retired journalist, who has won numerous awards for writing and photography. He continues to do freelance writing, mostly for The State Journal newspaper and FRANK magazine in Frankfort, the capital city of Kentucky. He was born in Jeffersonville, Indiana, in the summer of 1948, just across the Ohio River from Louisville, and grew up in Lebanon, Kentucky. He has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Western Kentucky University. He lives near downtown Frankfort with his 12-year-old black Lab, Lily, and serves on the Frankfort Interfaith Council. “Dancing at the Yurt: An Interfaith Spiritual Journey” is his first book.

A few words from Charlie
about Dancing at the Yurt:

Charlie with Tibetan and Trappist monks at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky.

“Writing the book began in 2012 when I met fascinating people in Bloomington, Indiana, at a Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center retreat. I write about their spiritual journeys, and then include many others of diverse faiths who have inspired me on a winding path of being Baptist, Catholic and Buddhist.”
