“Journey of the Universe”

Drawing on the discoveries of modern science as well as the wisdom of the world’s cultures, Journey of the Universe tells a compelling story of evolution and our role in the web of life. Such a narrative encourages rethinking how humans are part of a macro scale universe, even as it promotes local practices creating biodiverse cultures, economies, and politics on the micro scale. The 1-hour film will be a springboard for a discussion about our relationship with the Earth, and how we might deepen our awareness of our connection, both spiritually and practically.
