For decades I’ve been bridging science and the sacred –I did it first with cells and molecules before looking at wine from ‘both sides’. It was through the microscope and my spiritual search that brought me to seeing that our cells can be our teachers. What they do for life, we do. They also may have practical secrets hidden in their architecture. Secrets we can use to improve our lives.
One question that arises from this interpretation of our cells – did ancient art from indigenous traditions have their roots in our inner worlds? Do our spiritual ideas and archetypal symbols have their roots in biology?
This medicine wheel from a thousand years ago could also be interpreted as modernized representation of our cells. It is great fun to discuss these ideas and learn with our bodies the sacred secrets of our cells.
Recently Angela Murphy of Noetic Sciences Institute interviewed me on some of these ideas. She did a brilliant job moderating this conversation which is now a teleseminar. I had a lot of fun and for those of you who want to be enlightened or entertained by my perspective of our cellular wisdom, listen here – Cells and the Sacred inteview with Angela Murphy.
February 25-27, 2011,will be another Cells & the Sacred weekend workshop at Earthrise Retreat Center of the Noetics Sciences Institute.
