Head and Heart: A Story of Life, Stars, and the Wonder of Earth
Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County, 687 Larch Ave, Teaneck, NJ, USToo often, the epic story of our universe, from the birth of stars to the formation of our solar system, and the evolution of life on Earth, is told as a sequence of dry facts, stripped of the awe it truly deserves. But this story is not just scientific. It’s poetic. It’s emotional. It’s ours.
In this immersive, heart-opening talk by Leader Curt Collier, we’ll explore the origins of life on Earth through the lens of science and story, honoring the facts while celebrating the profound beauty and meaning they carry. We’ll reconnect with the cosmic processes that made life possible and reflect on what it means to be alive on this rare, living planet. Come ready to be curious. Come ready to feel.
This Gathering is at the meetinghouse and on Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, please email admin@ethicalfocus.org by noon on Friday.2 attendees
