A Bridge Between Worlds

Thirty Eight

An evening of deep dialogue and connection featuring a panel of 5 profound scientists exploring meaning in the age of science.

NeueHouse Madison Square

A Bridge Between WorldsHow can we build bridges between different ways of knowing? Today, science and spirituality are often depicted as being in tension. Can we uncover deeper connections that bridge these domains – and, in doing so, find a way through the murky times we live in?Join us for an evening with scientists who are bridge-builders, helping us ask profound questions about our yearning for ultimate meaning, the nature of consciousness, and what lies beyond the limits of what we can measure. Dr. Alan Lightman on scientific materialism and spirituality, Dr. Scarlet Soriano on spirituality in medicine, Dr. Neil Theise on complexity theory and Zen Buddhism, and Dr. Katy Hinman on science education as a spiritual resource.Moderated by Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn, this conversation explores what happens when science makes space for the unknown and spirituality engages with reason - perhaps even glimpsing the transcendent.We will have a free screening of Alan Lightman's documentary, followed by a panel discussion, and will conclude with a facilitated discussion. Wine, beer, and passed canapés shall be served.This event is sponsored by the Spiritual Yearning in Science project funded by the John Templeton Foundation (Grant #62958, PI: Brandon Vaidyanathan)Brought to you by <a href="https://weare38.com/" title="https://weare38.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Thirty Eight</a>
