Speaker: Lenn Goodman (Vanderbilt University)
and Philip Kitcher (Columbia University)

How has modern science changed religion? What does religion have to say to science? Has science irrevocably eroded religion's credibility and legitimacy, or does religion--as a guide to life and a way of wisdom--provide us with precisely what science lacks? Is Judaism exempt from, or aparty to, the tensions between these ways of understanding the world? This series will explore the complementary/competitive relationship through lively conversations with award-winning authors and thinkers.

In this first conversation, two leading philosophers address the perceived conflict between the Bible's perspective--in which a benevolent God creates a good world--and a Darwinian conception of a universe governed by accident and chance.

Speakers: Albert Low,
Director of Montreal Zen Center
and Robert Pollack,
Director of the Center for the Study of Science and Religion

From Mysticism to Occultism
Transitioning into the Aquarian Age

At this time, many people are feeling apprehensive about where life is going.  There is a general sense of unease or doubt.  This is a global phenomenon that is linked to the ‘Age’ that we are in.  In the song Aquarius, it speaks of the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

That time is now and by attending this workshop you will receive a better understanding of what the Age of Aquarius is, how it will impact your life and, most importantly, practical guidance on how to make the transition from the Age of Pisces, the Age of Mysticism to the Age of Aquarius, the Age of Occultism.  Specifically by better understanding:

1. Brotherhood
2. Synthesis
3. The Feminine Principle
4. Masonry
5. Meditation
6. Service

This introductory workshop is being held by Etta Jackson, the author of three cutting edge books on the ancient wisdom teachings which include Masonry, the Qabalah, mysticism, occultism, the Feminine Principle, and much, much more presented for the first time in an easy to understand format.
