Episode Description
Having studied historic cycles of humanity and ages of Earth, Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris sees our current crises as propelling us into evolutionary maturation from competition to cooperation. Countless species before us have made this leap. Our own bodies are evidence of amazing cooperation; now our global society must follow suit if we are to survive, even thrive into a very different future. We survived a dozen Ice Ages and can manage a Hot Age despite rising sea levels and other disasters for which we are currently not well prepared. Dr. Sahtouris shares what we can learn from nature, including the difference between communication by languages, which has made us see each other as separate, and communion, which is the direct transmission of information including thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. If we reclaim our ability to be in communion, deeply tuned into our planet and each other, our crises can help us to evolve Global Family in peace and amazing creativity

Our Sacred Journey will inspire others to share their love, compassion and kindness as a powerful way of actualizing the reality of the Divine in our daily lives. Our fascinating guests are global citizens who live and manifest their values, principles and ideals. You’ll hear the broad spectrum of life experiences that moved these passionate, courageous people through the hallways of such global institutions as the United Nations, to the villages in developing countries. We will discuss what it means to live as global citizens from the foundation of our inner spirituality, values and beliefs. Our potential to create a harmonious, cooperative present and future arising out of our own creativity and commitment to make valuable contributions to humanity will weave a beautiful tapestry of our sacred journey together.
