Searching to make peace between traditional beliefs, today’s science, and the bourgeoning planetary crisis? Passionate and courageous leader, Carol Kilby knows this search intimately.
Stepping out of the pulpit to run an eco-spirituality retreat, hosting new-thought teachers like Brian Swimme, Matthew Fox, Miriam MacGillis, Jennifer Morgan, and more, Kilby discovers evolutionary wisdom to navigate Earth-community’s darkness of unknowing. She shares this in this four-week series.
This program will include storytelling, imagery, break-through groups, and Evolutionary Ritual. It will challenge those new to the New Universe Story, connect those lamenting the environmental emergency, honour those longing for a sustainable future, and empower those committed to co-creating a culture of human-Earth mutuality.
