Exploring the Forces Changing What it Means to Be Human
Join Commonweal founder Michael Lerner as he explores the coming revolution in human consciousness and what it means for all of us as individuals, communities, and as a planetary species. Michael will reflect on cosmos, psyche, and the quest for healing, drawing on his conversations with Jeffrey Kripal, Rice University professor of philosophy and religious thought. Michael and Jeff's ongoing conversations about Jeff's 13 (and counting) books are available on Commonweal New School’s website and podcast media sites. Join us in person or on zoom for the talk from 10-12pm, and stay in person for food and our book release reception.
Find the books at Pt Reyes Books, and book sellers everywhere.
