Written by Mary Evelyn with co-authors John Grim and Andrew Angyal, the book is the first biography of Thomas Berry, illuminating his remarkable vision and showing the ongoing significance of Berry’s conception of human interdependence with the Earth within the unfolding journey of the universe. Mary Evelyn Tucker teaches at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and the Yale Divinity School, where she co-directs the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology with her partner, John Grim. They worked closely with Thomas Berry for more than thirty years as his students, editors, and literary executors and are the managing trustees of the Thomas Berry Foundation. With Brian Thomas Swimme, she wrote Journey of the Universe (Yale 2011) and was the executive producer of the Emmy award winning Journey film that aired on PBS.

Integrative and functional medicine are medical frontiers that draw more and more patients and practitioners with every passing decade. While drawing on best practices of conventional medicine, they seek out root causes of illness and utilize a wide range of complementary approaches.

Schweig, MD: Sunjya is an expert in complex chronic illnesses which require rigorous investigation and management. He has been studying, teaching, and practicing integrative and functional medicine for more than 20 years. Sunjya studied at University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Irvine, and did his residency at the University of California, San Francisco, Family Practice Residency Program in Santa Rosa, CA where he helped found the Integrative Medicine Fellowship program. He currently holds an adjunct faculty position at Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine and has lectured nationally and internationally at conferences, hospitals, and universities. He is the founding chair of the Integrative Medicine Committee for the International Lyme and Associated Disease Society (ILADS), and serves on the Scientific Advisory Board for the Bay Area Lyme Foundation.

Enneagram is an archetypal depth psychology. It has enormous power to deepen our insight into ourselves and others. As a follow-up to our last TNS conversation with author and enneagram expert Beatrice Chestnut, we offered a three-part series of workshops to explore enneagram further in depth. Each workshop features a three- to five-person panel of enneagram “types.” This part one of the series featured the 8-9-1 types—the Body Center Types. This day was recorded in four parts. Find all of the videos on our YouTube site. https://www.youtube.com/user/NewSchoolCommonweal
