This year, we take a look at humanity's path. Thru summer we will explore the spiritual path as seen through the lens of Theology, Humanity, Philosophy, and Science. And this autumn we will focus on the evolution of the spiritual path with humanity utilizing the qualities of synthesis and equanimity toward the development of shared consciousness.
What does the spiritual path teach us? And how does it move us, and humanity, further along the path that is human evolution?

This Spring & Summer
The Spiritual Path: Humanity's Search for Truth
Common truths have been brought forward and re-established for humanity time and again. These foundational principles of existence have kept humanity moving along its path of unfolding awareness. Along the way, there have been many spiritual guides and religious prophets, various teachings and doctrines, profound insights and discoveries. They have permeated our everyday life, shaped our views, and have kept humanity progressing along a collective spiritual path.
On Tuesday evenings, Donna Mitchell-Moniak will present a historical perspective on humanity's spiritual path focusing on its fullness within the four disciplines of theology, humanity, philosophy, and science. Each discipline will be introduced by a free, online lecture followed by an online course that goes deeper into its impact on the spiritual path we all travel together.

This Autumn
The Awakening Heart of Humanity
"Ultimately, spirituality is a mode of being in which not only the divine and the human commune with each other but through which we discover ourselves in the universe and the universe discovers itself in us."
Thomas Berry, The Great Work
Thomas Berry, The Great Work
The Sanskrit term bodhisattva has become equated with Buddhist thought, yet it is not specifically a Buddhist word. Bodhi means light as expressed through heart/mind, active compassion/wisdom, and inclusive awareness/reason. Sattva signifies a being. Bodhisattva, then, refers to the innate capacity of a human being to exist as part of the world/whole as ingenious compassion/wisdom.
This autumn on Tuesday evenings, Donna Mitchell-Moniak explores the forward trajectory of human evolution as one of synthesis, equanimity, collective group endeavor, and the shared responsibility of being human on this Earth regardless of personal religion, dogma, doctrine, or belief. In simplicity, if one is human then one is a bodhisattva.
A free, online lecture will introduce each aspect of the human being as Bodhisattva. The lecture will be followed by an online course that goes deeper into it the service and shared consciousness that this implies.
