Evolution & Spirituality – The Great Story

Workshops in Omaha May 7 – 11, 2006

 

THE GREAT STORY - www.thegreatstory.org - is humanity's common creation story. It is the 14 billion year science-based sacred story of cosmic genesis, from the formation of the galaxies and the origin of Earth life, to the development of self-reflective consciousness and human technology, to the emergence of comprehensive compassion and tools to assist humanity in being a blessing to the larger body of life.  Telling the Great Story will be renowned authors and speakers, Michael Dowd and Connie Barlow. Their mission is to teach and preach a sacred, meaningful, inspiring way of understanding the history of cosmos, Earth, life, and humanity.  Their message is the marriage of science and the sacred for personal and planetary wellbeing and ongoing transformation.
