• An extravagant welcome to Robert Athickal!! Thank you for your extraordinary work, Robert, and we look forward to discovering ways to ‘mutually enhance’ our shared journey. Sam and Paula Guarnaccia
    ps-A few days ago, in Charlotte, NC, after an incandescent conversation with leaders of a very large church, frequent mention of our Universe home as…[Read more]

    • Welcome Robert and Welcome sacred soil of Tarumitra! So glad the wisdom of your work and the wisdom of India can now be shared more extensively!

    • A warm welcome Robert to your and your sacred work. As I was part of the founding administration of a school K-8, in New Jersey, USA based on the Universe Story and part of the faculty at Genesis Farm my heart reaches out to you from the perspective of Thomas Berry and what he calls the Great Work. Great to join hands.

    • A very warm welcome Robert! It’s great to have you with us. Very much look forward to hearing more about Tarumitra and how you are bringing the Universe Story to India.

  • Dear Rich, Cynthia, Orla, Jennifer, and Lawrence (ALL seems contrary to the essence of my brief offering to this wonderful dialogue!),
    There is so much here, that brevity and simplicity seem the best strategy. Two things arise for me (among others):1. Fritjof Capra, in speaking of living systems (which CANNOT be understood by ‘analysis’ (taking…[Read more]

  • How beautiful to enter again briefly into this wonderful conversation! Thank you, ALL, for its richness.
    We have just returned from a magnificent two days of reunion with John Philip Newell, in Charlotte, NC, where we celebrated together a ‘ritual’ of what is for us, a glorious collaboration. A few years ago we found each other and created A…[Read more]

    Orla, please forgive the long delay in responding to this: Oh yes! What a glorious idea…..Flamenco is such a profound, passionate, intense and intimate ‘art’….and more. Please help us hold on to this idea for the coming months…..very demanding in the current unfoldings, which I am sure is true for everyone. Those roots are deep, and together…[Read more]

  • Thank you, Jennifer, for the evocative questions and reflection, and wonderful to have Richard and Linda’s wisdom! We resonate with everything said so far, and since we have no cable or TV service, watched on a streamed FOX app, and for the first time in a long time, were drowning in commercials. Along with the exotic ultra high tech production,…[Read more]

  • Some years ago now, I graduated from Deerfield Academy, arguably one of the finest schools anywhere. On pages 22 & 23 of the Magazine which just arrived, Winter 2014, is an enormous two page display, the beginning of a eight page article entitled: BIG HISTORY!!! Stunning Hubble images, and an introduction to the intertwining fields of study…[Read more]

    • Absolutely Sam. Sounds like the timing is perfect! They are probably using the text book written by DTJNetwork member Cynthia Brown. See her featured resource.

      • Sam, we are really happy to hear this news of the Word spreading to Deerfield, which is after all in our neck of the woods. Let us know if there is some way we could contribute to this effort.

  • A phenomenal exploration of the great integral dynamic forces and systems underlying ‘psycho-cultural emergence’, the spiral of increasing evolutionary complexity within the development of human thought and […]

  • This coming Sunday, February 16th, the Spirit in Nature organization is presenting me with the Vermont 2014 EcoSpirit award for the work, Emergent Universe Oratorio, an award whose first recipient was Bill McKibben. This is a humbling honor, for which I am primarily grateful in having another opportunity to share the story of our glorious…[Read more]

    • Congratulations Sam and Paula! So very deserved!!!!!

    • Congratulations to a great team offering pathways into the ‘more than rational’! Can you orchestrate and choreograph a flamenco dance for the ‘greater glory of Cosmogenesis’? I know…….you must have a long line of special requests by now..but….when the flamenco is completed I would like front row tickets. Bravo sam and paula!

      • Orla, please forgive the long delay in responding to this: Oh yes! What a glorious idea…..Flamenco is such a profound, passionate, intense and intimate ‘art’….and more. Please help us hold on to this idea for the coming months…..very demanding in the current unfoldings, which I am sure is true for everyone. Those roots are deep, and together…[Read more]

  • Thank you, Jennifer for the topic, and Orla for your phenomenal comments! There is so much to say, but the first thought is of Thomas Berry’s saying that ‘we need a COSMIC LITURGY’, or as he said in Dream of the Earth (p. 215), “that we renew our human participation in the grand liturgy of the universe.” Liturgy and ‘ritual’ are not necessarily…[Read more]

    • Sam, These comments are fantastic and could serve as the basis of a mission statement for the Ritual Library. Also, would you be willing to be on a Ritual Library Committee?
