Program Details

Thomas Berry reminds us    that we are called to do the Great Work of our generation. We find ourselves in a critical moment when our religious traditions must awaken again to the natural world as the primary manifestation of the divine.  Science has given us a story of a time-developmental universe in which humans are related to all other forms of life, but this has not yet penetrated into our religious and spiritual consciousness.
 

According to Berry, the Earth is the source of our spiritual energy, which needs to be expressed in a nurturing and healing mode. Earth itself is endowed with an innate spirituality. We therefore need a spirituality grounded in the biological process of the planet.
 

During our day together we will explore the implications of Earth spirituality. The day will include teachings, reflection questions, dialogue, ritual, and quiet time in nature.
 

"We will only protect what we love, and we will only love that which we regard as sacred."
  -Thomas Berry, Geologean
