Workshop: Journey of the Universe with Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim
What does the ancient-yet-evergreen wisdom of the monastic tradition have to teach about care for our shining blue planet? How are we to understand our “right place” in the universe? In what ways do science and our spiritual wisdom intersect to heal our world—and ourselves in the process?
Join Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim directors of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology for this hands-on workshop that explores applications drawn from the film Journey of the Universe. Participants will have time for conversation, exploration, and practical application as we seek to integrate science, spiritual wisdom, and the practical responsibility of caring for our planet and the diverse community that shares it.
