Join the Institute for Religion and Science on Sunday, September 28, 2025 for an intimate, experiential afternoon, immersing in an exploration of Teilhard’s passion for the possible with Amy Edelstein.
Edelstein will share selections from her new book, A Zest for Life, in which she turned passages from Teilhard’s Letters in Time of War into poems, without changing the original text. Drawing from the evocative correspondence between Teilhard and his cousin, Marguerite Teilhard-Chambon, these letters have the power to uplift and inspire. They share a remarkable evolutionary vision of a human soul reaching for greater and greater divinity. Edelstein will share her insights and essays inspired by Teilhard’s work. Participants will also have the opportunity to write and share their own poems or prose inspired by the readings, deepening the engagement and internalization of this profound and transformative view.
This event will be held both in person and online. In-person attendees will receive a free copy of Edelstein’s book, A Zest for Life. The in-person event will begin at 1:30PM while those attending through Zoom (link below) can begin logging on at 2PM. The event will end at 3:30PM.
