The Living Universe Story: A Participatory Integral Spirit Cosmology for an Ecological Civilization (2026), explores the cosmological and spiritual foundations of an Ecological Civilization. It brings together insights from modern science and the world’s wisdom traditions to articulate a coherent understanding of the universe as a living, self-organizing, and evolving process—and the human place within it.
