Panel Discussion
This interdisciplinary and interfaith panel will explore the future of religion and the central role of spirituality in an evolving world. Panelists from diverse religious and philosophical backgrounds will share their visionary understanding of spiritual development, and explore the potential for creating a higher order of consciousness based on the understanding that we exist in an evolving universe. The evolutionary context will provide a vast matrix in which to see the impact that our own authentic spiritual transformation can have on our communities, on our social and cultural institutions, and on the very future of our increasingly perilous postmodern world.
