SUMMARY:The Future Belongs to Hope: Scripture\, Science\, and the Direction of the Universe
DESCRIPTION:Join us Tuesday\, May 19\, 2026\, at 1 p.m. ET for a Center for Christogenesis webinar with Robert Nicastro. \nMany of us were taught to think of hope as a feeling\, something we muster when times are hard. But what if hope is actually written into the structure of reality itself? Ancient scripture and cutting-edge science point toward a remarkable idea: that the universe is not wandering aimlessly but converging\, through ever-deepening complexity and consciousness\, toward a greater wholeness still ahead. The great biblical traditions were never simply predicting the end of things. They were describing the shape of time: open\, unfinished\, and charged with possibility.  \nIn this webinar\, we bring that ancient wisdom into conversation with some of the most visionary theological thinking of the modern era\, and ask what it means for us today\, in a world gripped by fear\, exhausted by uncertainty\, and aching for a credible future. \nAll registrants will receive a copy of the recording within a week of the event.

SUMMARY:Imagine Retreat by The Guild for Spiritual Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Join Sr. Ilia Delio\, Bayo Akomolafe\, Cynthia Bourgeault and more September 16-20\, 2026 in Nova Scotia\, Canada at a retreat hosted by our partners at The Guild for Spiritual Guidance. \nWe are living in a time that asks something profound of humanity. \nThe climate is changing. Cultures are shifting. Long-held assumptions about progress\, growth\, and certainty are dissolving before our eyes. \nYet within every time of uncertainty lies the possibility of renewal. \nThe Imagine Retreat\,  September 16-20\, 2026\, is an invitation to pause together—to listen more deeply to the Earth\, to wisdom traditions\, to science\, to poetry\, and to one another. \nFor five days we gather on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia to explore how science\, spirit\, and human creativity might come together in service of a more compassionate and life-giving future. \nThis is not simply a conference. It is a conversation about what it means to be human in this moment of history—and how we might imagine the world that wants to emerge. \nTo register and learn more visit the event page. Please contact the organizer with questions or inquiries.

SUMMARY:Journey to Greece with Ilia Delio
DESCRIPTION:This is a ten-day in-person educational experience with Ilia Delio we’re sharing on behalf of Thalassa Journeys. To inquire or for more information contact our partners via phone or email. \nDownload this brochure .pdf for the full itinerary and program description. \n \nDear Friends\, \nThe ancient Greeks are rightfully credited as the founders of Western science\, not because they had microscopes or laboratories\, but because they fundamentally invented the method of scientific inquiry. Between roughly the 6th century BCE and the 4th century BCE\, Greek philosophers developed the revolutionary idea that the natural world operates according to intelligible principles that human reason could discover. This shift from mythological explanation to rational investigation marks the birth of science as we know it. The earliest Greek thinkers\, known as the Pre-Socratics\, initiated this intellectual transformation by daring to ask: what is the world fundamentally made of\, and how does it work? Rather\nthan accepting traditional mythological accounts of creation and divine intervention\, figures like Thales\, Anaximander\, and Heraclitus sought material and rational explanations. Thales of Miletus (c. 624-546 BCE)\, often considered the first Western philosopher\, proposed that water is the fundamental substance of all things—a claim that seems quaint to modern ears\, but nevertheless a search for a unifying principle based on observation rather than mythology. Socrates (469-399 BCE) left no written works\, but his method of questioning\, dialectic reasoning\, and the relentless pursuit of truth through logical argument—became foundational to scientific methodology. He insisted that truth could be discovered through careful reasoning rather than authority or tradition and established the intellectual rigor that science requires. Plato made profound contributions by emphasizing that beneath the changing physical world exists an underlying mathematical order. His Theory of Forms suggested that the material world imperfectly reflects eternal\, unchanging abstract principles. In short\, early Greek thinkers were significant contributors to a new age of consciousness that provided the foundation for modern science. For them\, science was a form of natural philosophy\, a means of reflecting on the deep questions of existence and purpose. \n \nWe invite you to join us on a journey of discovery that retraces the footsteps of these remarkable thinkers. Our carefully curated travel experiences will take us to the ancient sites where Greek philosophy was born—from the bustling agora of Athens where Socrates engaged his students in dialectic debate\, to the Temple of Apollo at Delphi\, where “Know Thyself” remains inscribed for all seekers of wisdom. We will walk through the ruins of the Lyceum where Aristotle founded his school\, visit the island of Samos where Pythagoras established his community of learners\, and explore the temples and theaters where these philosophical traditions were woven into the fabric of Greek life. By experiencing Greece not as mere tourists\, but as intellectual pilgrims\, we will gain a profound appreciation for how these ancient thinkers help shaped the world we inhabit today. Whether you are a student of history\, a philosophy enthusiast\, or simply someone curious about the roots of Western thought\, I am sure this journey will enrich your understanding and inspire your own pursuit to know the human experience in a vast and awesome universe. \nSincerely\,\nIlia Delio\, OSF\, Ph. D. \nDownload this brochure .pdf for the full itinerary and program description.
