Thomas Berry:
Spiritual Master of the Emerging Ecozoic
On behalf of Earth Literacies is my joy to facilitate an engagement with an enduring prophet of the Earth: Thomas Berry, CP, PhD.
From the treasure trove of his challenging and lucid writings, we find the critical analysis of our planetary crisis and the visionary proposals for what may yet be possible – what must become possible – for our living Earth community.
In this critical time, we who labor together in The Great Work of gestating a new humankind require a new worldview, a new ethos, a new mysticism if we would give birth to a new age. Let us become that new humanity - more creative, integrally alive, whole, and sane – summoned by Thomas.
