The Intersection of Science and Spirituality Through the Life of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

We are thrilled to chat with Frank and Mary Frost who are partners in life and film making! Today we talk about their fabulous, Emmy nominated, documentary about French scientist and Jesuit Priest, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Teilhard was a feminist, a visionary thinker, a paleontologist, and a man way before his time. When met with new information that challenged his religious ideals, he didn’t shrink, but he expanded to meet the moment. What might we learn from his ecstatic, open hearted way of moving through the world? Might Teilhard have something to teach us about the intersection of science and spirituality? Join this week's conversation to find out!

Cool stuff we mention in this week’s episode (or meant to anyways):

• Documentary - Teilhard: Visionary Scientist
• Teilhard Project
• American Teilhard Association
• Divine Milieu
