An Tairseach Ecology Centre
Wicklow, Ireland
Joining us in person from the USA for this very exciting event are Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim from the Yale Forum of Religion & Ecology. We are being called to a new mode of being human in the age of the Anthropocene. We are discovering our role within a vast evolving universe that gave birth to us and that orients and grounds us. We are seeking ways to nurture ourselves and the life community in an age of disruption and diminishment. To envision this, we will explore the evolutionary thought of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and the ecological concerns of Thomas Berry. Together we call this an emerging Cosmo- ecology. We will also discuss how Journey of the Universe can inspire transformative change for a flourishing future. We will conclude with an examination of the Living Earth Community project.
This Session will include discussions on the teachings and philosophies of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Thomas Berry, Journey of the Universe and Living Earth Community. The afternoon will include a Q&A session with Mary Evelyn & John.
