Join acclaimed evolutionary philosopher Brian Thomas Swimme, host of the film Journey of the Universe for this epic story of cosmic, Earth, and human emergence.
Journey of the Universe is a dramatic and expansive film that re-imagines the universe story and reframes the human connection to the cosmos.
Created by a renowned team of scientists, scholars, and award-winning filmmakers, it is beautifully filmed on the Greek island of Samos and is designed to awaken us to the beauty and complexity of our planet.
 "This is a wonderful account of the history of the universe from the Big Bang through the present moment." Thomas Lovejoy |

The Journey of the Universe project was inspired by Thomas Berry's article "The New Story," which examined how the world's religions explained the creation of the world and the scientific story of the universe's emergence. "Berry had a vision of the need for an integrating narrative of the development of the universe, Earth, and humans," Tucker said. Grim added, "He was one of the first to suggest we need an epic story that would show people their profound connection to the Earth community." Journey of the Universe is presently airing on PBS Television stations across the nation and was screened at the 2011 Festival of Faiths.  | | Read the companion book! |
