What is the next step in human evolution?
Albert Einstein said, humanity "is now moving into the third phase of religious experience: cosmic religion." The late John Lewis wrote in his Farewell letter the week he died to the younger generation and said one thing that is important is to know the wisdom of those who went before us.
Two ancestral spiritual giants from our past, Thomas Aquinas and Julian of Norwich, make excellent guides into this third phase of spirituality, that of "cosmic religion." Indeed, Aquinas said, "the greatness of the human person consists in this: that we are capable of the universe." And Julian of Norwich, who lived through the greatest pandemic in European history, the bubonic plague, had a celebrated experience of seeing a glowing round ball the size of a hazelnut in her hand and asked: "What is this thing?" and the reply was: "It is everything that is created...and it endures because God loves it."
Come to this workshop and be inspired and grounded in a deep spirituality that honors the earth, incorporates the universe, and prepares us to act in ways that center and ground us for the challenging work that lies ahead for our species and for our planet. Matthew Fox's most recent books are The Tao of Thomas Aquinas: Fierce Wisdom for Hard Times and Julian of Norwich: Wisdom in a Time of Pandemic...and Beyond.
