Hunger for Wholeness
Story matters. Our lives are shaped around immersive, powerful stories that thrive at the heart of our religious traditions, scientific inquiries, and cultural landscapes. As Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein claimed, science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind. This podcast will hear from speakers in interdisciplinary fields of science and religion who are finding answers for how to live wholistic lives. This podcast is made possible by funding from the Fetzer Institute. We are very grateful for their generosity and support.

Hunger for Wholeness
Evolution, Biology and Spirituality with Rupert Sheldrake (Part 2)
In Part 2, Ilia, Robert and Rupert discuss evolution, faith and Rupert’s Anglican spirituality. They ask how religion and science can work together in a more integrated framework, and Rupert has the last word on how our quest for digital immortality is coming full circle.
