 Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30pm : November 4, December 9, January 13, February 10, March 10, April 6
In his seminal work, The Mystic Heart, interspiritual pioneer Wayne Teasdale articulated nine elements of a mature interspirituality: actualized moral capacity, solidarity with all living beings, deep nonviolence, humility, spiritual practice, mature self-knowledge, simplicity of life, selfless service and compassionate action, and the prophetic voice. This six-evening course will offer an opportunity to explore each of these elements, not only conceptually, but more importantly in a deeply self-reflective way, in the company of like-minded, like-hearted fellow journeyers. |

Integral vs. Evolutionary:
What's Really Happening Now? |
 with Terry Patten
Monday, July 19th at 7:00 PM
At the leading edges of human consciousness, the outlines of the next historically significant stage of cultural development are beginning to come into view. Some call this new stage of consciousness and shared values the “integral worldview,” while others are calling it the “evolutionary worldview.” How do these worldviews differ? Where do they converge? And will we eventually need to choose one over the other to bring the next stage into being?
