Attention: Another new viewing option: New Teilhard documentary
by Ellie Stock 29 May '24

29 May '24

Hi Folks, I'm forwarding this new viewing opportunity for the new documentary on the life, work, and vision of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. It is an excellent documentary, beautifully filmed. It relays not only the story of Teilhard the man, priest, scientist, and writer but also his vision of the DIVINE in all creation's evolutionary past, present and future. It is 2 hours long and well worth the time to watch it. DVDs are also available. The OE/EI/ICA was greatly influenced by Teilhard, one of its spirit/science mentors. There is also a segment in the film where Jean Houston is interviewed. When she was a kid living in NYC, she literally ran into Teilhard on the sidewalk and knocked him over. That began a friendship where they met to walk in Central Park every Tuesdays. Her life was greatly influenced by "Mr. Tayer", as she used to call him, not understanding his French accent. That reminds me of the weekend (or longer?) when Jean Houston came to Chicago for a workshop. She had us all slithering on the floor like one of Eisley's snouts emerging from the primordial waters and exploring a new world.

JUST A REMINDER: 4/25/2024 Environmental Film: FACING ADVERSITY, CHOOSING EARTH, CHOOSING LIFE
by Ellie Stock 24 Apr '24

24 Apr '24

Hi Folks! HAPPY EARTH DAY MONTH! The last film in 2024 winter/spring environmental film series hosted by the Ferguson Eco Team, (Ferguson/St. Louis, MO), will be FACING ADVERSITY, CHOOSING EARTH, CHOOSING LIFE and shown VIA ZOOM Thursday, April 25, 7:00 PM Central Time, followed by a reflection conversation. To register for the ZOOM link: https://bit.ly/FETApr2024 A ZOOM link will then be sent to you to access the event. Facing Adversity: Choosing Earth, Choosing Life is a 63-minute documentary that explores the speed, depth and magnitude of our growing planetary crisis, and the opportunity we have to meet this crisis consciously – with eyes and hearts wide open. Through a broad, whole-systems perspective, the film examines key challenges (climate change, inequities, species extinction, overconsumption, and more) and explores the deeper transformation being called forth from humanity. Woven throughout are stories from around the world illustrating both heart-breaking impacts and inspiring resilience. Engaging with this paradox — an unfolding global crisis paired with the opportunity to awaken to and serve the well-being of all of life — is the work of our lifetimes. The film features Duane Elgin, Victoria Santos, Jack Kornfield, Joanna Macy, Nate Hagens, Beena Sharma, Lynne Twist, and other contributors who are grappling with this paradox and offering guidance for navigating the times ahead. FACING ADVERSITY is based on the important 2020 book CHOOSING EARTH, Humanity's Great Transition to a Mature Planetary Civilization, by Duane Elgin, also author of the popular 1981 book, VOLUNTARY SIMPLICITY. To register for the ZOOM linK: https://bit.ly/FETApr2024 Attached is a flyer for the event. Please feel free to share with friends.

Hi Folks, EARTH DAY greetings as we continue to work to live in harmony with Earth and ALL that is in it and to build communities that will midwife the journey through the present ecological crisis we are experiencing, on behalf of present and future generations. Below are-a link to the song video "Let the Earth Breathe" and -a reflection: "How Then Shall We Live?" Ellie :)elliestock@aol.com SONG VIDEO: "Let the Earth Breathe" (link below): 2.15.21 Let the Earth Breathe.mp4 HOW THEN SHALLWE LIVE? What do we call What calls from thedeeps,that pulses through stars and quickensheart’s beat,that surges through waves and cleanses withfire,emerges from dust and breathes soul’sdesire?What do we name What mocks human pride,that bends the Tree of Life, sustainingbeing’s tide? How do we greet What calls to our deeps, that lasers vulnerabilities and loves usinto being, that mourns lost illusions and leaves usdefenseless, transforms the present moment andawakens all senses? How do we embrace What eternalizesfinitude, that opens wide portals, flooding tearsof gratitude? How do we know What calls us to decide, that gives no guarantee and provides noplace to hide, that beckons all our care and trumps thedoubt within, reckons despair and hope and connectsall creature kin? How do we abide in What struggles tocreate, that explodes time and space, freeing partnerswith Earth’s fate? How then shall we live What chiselspassion’s edge, that resculpts past’s confoundings andempowers future’s wedge, that compels us far beyond mind’sstrength or comfort zone, propels trusting steps into Great Work’sbidding unknown? How shall we now journey in vastcommunity with That Which journeys through us profoundlyand boundlessly? ~ejhs

John and Elsa Bengel: We both began our 80th year in March. We just moved from the big house to a 2-bedroom condo with underground parking and an elevator surrounded by trees and green space. Our daughters and their families are both within 10 miles. A great blessing. Greetings to all our fellow long-lived colleagues. Sent from Gmail Mobile

We are getting older- what fun
by Richard Alton 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

Dear Friends/Colleagues, Ok, last week I got an email from Alisa Oyler that her mother, Marilyn Oyler, is turning 80 in April. She asked me if I would send her a card listing a particular gift she brought to the world or at least a card. No problem- her mom is full of gifts. And then this morning John Patterson called me up looking for an email address. We chatted and he let me know that his 80th birthday was April 22, Earth Day. It is just like John to have his birthday on the most important day of the year. I think it is part of the Order Rule that we send anybody who makes it to 80 a card holding up a gift. Well, at least a card. I just sent John a card that said, “I looked all over Chicago for an 80th birthday card, but nothing. This is as close as I could get- Happy 90th birthday- something to grow into!” Marilyn Oyler: 4208 N. 25th Street, Phoenix, AZ, 85016, USA John Patterson: 1487 Cranberry Lake Road, Haliburton ON, KOM 1S0, Canada Being late is good- just send a card.
