COSMOS EVOLVING

A monthly gathering for meditation, science, and spiritual transformation Cosmos is evolving. Since January, our program has been more experiential, weaving together mindfulness practice, and heartfelt sharing. Together we’ll explore how our practice supports personal, societal, and global healing, and how it helps us build a beloved community. Cosmos is a program of First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego. And it’s also something more. Cosmos is our home. We ourselves are Cosmos, in the form of human beings. After 13.8 billion years of unbroken cosmic evolution, we are Cosmos becoming conscious of itself. As Carl Sagan said, *“We are stardust studying the stars.”* In Cosmos we: * Explore the scientific story of the universe—its birth, evolution, and possible future. * Contemplate what it means to be “cosmic beings” with a role in that unfolding story. * Practice mindfulness and meditation so we can experience our lives more fully in and as Cosmos. * Share how our practice is changing us and shaping the ways we show up for and serve the world. * Celebrate with chants, songs, and music This is a spiritual journey of transformed consciousness—bringing together the Story of the Universe and mindfulness meditation. Our aim is to experience a shift in identity: from separate individuals to beings who feel ourselves as expressions of a living, evolving universe.
