Past Events and Screenings

An Tairseach Ecology Centre

Wicklow, Ireland

Register here.

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.

Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim traveled from June 7th to July 12th. They offered a series of Journey of the Universe film screenings and lively discussions to receptive audiences in Beijing in the north and in the southwest province of Yunnan. Here is an initial report on their China Summer 2024 Trip, which will be expanded in the coming months. They also gave talks on “Ecological Civilization.” This is a 30-year effort of the Chinese to move from an industrial society with unlimited economic growth that is destroying ecosystems to a regenerative civilization that sustains the well-being of people and the planet. Please visit the newest section of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology website, Ecological Civilization, featuring a new video by Mary Evelyn on “The Ecological Wisdom in Confucianism.”
