Astronomy and Spirituality offer 2 complimentary ways of seeing and
experiencing the Universe. The science of astronomy provides the
observational and theoretical basis for our physical understanding of the
external Universe, while spirituality involves our individual experience
and inner Universe. Our lives are greatly enhanced by a blending of both
the scientific and the spiritual rather than solely relying on one as a
means of interpreting the Universe. Whether it is a sunset, a meteor
shower, a full Moon, a beautiful starry sky, a solstice sunrise, an
eclipse, or a shimmering display of northern lights, an astronomical
understanding of what we see leads us to feel more deeply connected to the
world around us, and a love of what we see brings us joy, awe, and
inspiration.
I am now offering workshops, gatherings, and retreats which
blend Astronomy & Spirituality in
order to teach people to pay attention to and experience the Universe
around, to help people understand what they see and thereby enhance their
connection to All That Is, and to take this increased sense of connection
and live with greater richness and respect for planet Earth and all forms
of life. Programs include a weekend retreat at the
Rowe Camp and Conference Center in 2008,
as well as seasonal sunrise and sunset gatherings at the
U.Mass. Sunwheel,
and "Exploring the Spiritual Universe" experiential workshops. See the links below for
the calendar and descriptions of offerings.
