The
study guide for this group focuses on the exciting revelations
of how everything came to be - from the Stars and Galaxies in
the immensity of space to the grasshopper in our garden, how a
star in our galaxy of the Milky Way birthed our Solar System,
how our own precious Planet Earth came to bring forth LIFE! -
you and me and all the creatures that comprise the web of life,
and how we humans have a vital role to play in this drama. It
is an amazing story, a story that needs to be told over and over
and reflected upon until we imbibe it as our cosmology, the story
giving new meaning to every aspect of our lives.
Many,
many books are being written on the origin of the universe, excellent
resources from many points of view. This guide, An Amazing Journey:
The Universe and Me, which is produced by Global Education Associates
Upper Midwest, will give you a taste of these resources through
readings taken from books, periodicals, and the internet - in
the format of discussion circles. The goal is to gather with others
to question, probe, and share the material - to make it your own.
Each session ends with provocative questions for discussion and
ideas for action and experience.
Facilitator
for this study group is Connie Mahoney, PhD. Connie is the founder
of Earth Elders, a long-time spiritual quester and environmental
activist. At 57, she received her doctorate in sociology from
UCSF; at 60, she participated in a 10 day vision quest. Most recently,
she studied with Joanna Macy, Ram Dass, Thomas Berry, Sr. Miriam
McGillis and Brian Swimme.
