In every human heart lives a longing for connection and unity. For true connection with others, with the greater whole of which we are part, with something greater within ourselves that wants to express itself. No matter how busy we are, this intuitive religious realization keeps emerging. Where does this realization come from? 

That search begins with the question of who we are in essence. Are we all individuals separate from one another or are we part of a greater whole? Without exception, the world teachers of all the great traditions point us to the latter. But what is that greater whole, how can we actively live by it? These questions are part of the religious thinking within us, a quality present in every human being. 

To explore these questions with one another, we are organizing the symposium The Religion of the Future - connecting through wisdom, compassion and peace - on Sunday, September 17.
