The Journey of Life: Living with Meaning in the Face of Global Crisis
Seven Pillars House of Wisdom Presents:
The Journey of Life
Living with Meaning in the Face of Global Crisis
An exploration with Pir Zia Inayat-Khan, Rabbi Olivier BenHaim, anthropologist Leslie Conton, and native storyteller Roger Fernandes of the Lower Elwha Band of the Klallam tribe.
Bounded by the unknown before birth and after death, we are flung into a particular moment of history during which we experience life. Our choices chart our route. Our personal stories help to shape the collective story.
In times of community, national and global crisis, we rightly question and recreate our personal and cultural stories.
We ask: How does our personal story inform the
unfoldment of the global story?
Join us in a participatory evening with respected "wisdom keepers" from a wide range of traditions, exploring the journey of life, and the demands of our times.
