Carter Phipps/EVOLUTIONARIES: Conscious Leadership & A Co-Creative Worldview 08/29/12

Summary: When we think of evolution, we may first envision fossils and fruit flies, Charles Darwin and perhaps Richard Dawkins. But what if our current scientific understanding of evolution was just the tip of the iceberg? What if there’s a way to see evolution that could transform not just your understanding of the physical world, but also your most fundamental sense of self-identity? That could give you a rational, intellectually informed sense of optimism for the future? That could even provide a new source of spiritual insight and inspiration? As we explore on ConsciousSHIFT - evolution is a master creative process in which we all participate, consciously or unconsciously ... ours is a World in Process. Today, a movement of visionary scientists, philosophers, and spiritual thinkers is forging a new understanding of evolution that honors science, reframes culture, and radically updates spirituality. Author Carter Phipps calls them Evolutionaries. And Julie Ann will be exploring this emerging worldview with Carter Phipps, former executive editor of EnlightenNext magazine and author of "EVOLUTIONARIES: Unlocking the Spiritual and Cultural Potential of Science’s Greatest Idea." Join us to discover how scientists are revealing that cooperation drives evolution — all the way from quarks to quadrupeds to us ... and the transformative truths at the heart of the new “evolutionary spirituality.” Guaranteed to challenge your thought - and spark your imagination.
