While the changes in worldview described in the book are discussed primarily from the perspective of their importance to the individual, at the same time the changes are fundamentally important to QEW’s witness in the world. The dominant western consciousness regarding the natural world will not enable us to adequately address the ecological crises we are facing. QEW is particularly well positioned to address this need for change in consciousness, as it is an organization within the Friends’ tradition that witnesses to the interiority of the person, the Light within, and often the natural world as well. This witness is now greatly strengthened by the remarkable scientific discovery of the nonvisible, energetic, numinous interiority of matter and our shared fundamental commonality with the natural world.  We are offering these sessions as a time of spiritual healing. No special knowledge of science is needed. 

The book discussion is planned for three evenings starting in January (Jan 11 plus Feb. 8 and Feb 22). Each session will start at 8pm Eastern and all will be on Zoom. There is no cost, but you need to register in advance to attend. Participants are strongly encouraged to read the book beforehand – this will be more of a discussion than a time to hear a summary of the book.

Thanks for considering this – hope to see you there.

Shelley and Mary
