With Rev. Jane Hiatt. A central Judeo-Christian story is that humanity once existed in Paradise, aka the Garden of Eden, but was kicked out because we were sinful. In Christian story, only redemption by Christ enables us to return. When we unpack the metaphysics of this story, however, we find a formula for living in Paradise. As we explore the Season of the Earth, the metaphor of a garden and garden consciousness is fertile ground for our own growth. With special guest musician Ananda Yogiji.
