This 3-day course will focus on science itself as a source for wonder, contemplation and
transformative meaning. Challenging the stereotypes that paint spirituality and science as
incompatible, participants will travel between first-person experiences, depictions of the
Cosmos, and key developing areas of science. On day 1, we will re-kindle the aptitude we all
have for scientific inquiry, tapping into the joy of first-hand explorations of phenomena and

perceptions. On day 2, we will take a “highlights tour” of the Universe as it has been
collectively described by generations of inquirers. On day 3, we will focus on key unsolved
areas of science that offer spiritual, existential, and ethical pathways towards new meanings.
