This Sunday, December 28- EVOLUTIONARY SPIRITUALITY- PART TWO: ANDREW COHEN - Spiritual teacher and cultural visionary Andrew Cohen (1955-       ) published his seventh book, Evolutionary Enlightenment in 2011.  He redefines spiritual awakening as understood in past centuries to now include a significant and substantial addition in the newly developing evolutionary understandings that now inform our science, philosophy and spiritual development. 

Ken Wilbur describes Cohen's book as "Truly one of the most significant books on spirituality written in the postmodern world."  Michael Dowd speaks of Cohen as "a truly remarkable teacher on the cutting edge of evolutionary thinking and action…  Andrew's writing and teachings are destined to make a real difference in the world."

 Our presenter, Ed O'Keefe, a long-time student of evolutionary spirituality, will outline the major ideas of Andrew Cohen, and tie Cohen's work to that of Teilhard de Chardin and Thomas Berry.

Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy 2015.
