What About Evil: A Video Conversation with Cynthia Bourgeault

In this conversation recorded February 23, 2023, community leader Mary Ann Evans speaks with Cynthia Bourgeault on the topic What About Evil, summarizing the Encounter with Evil Wisdom School held in California earlier that week. This is an important and timely topic, and theme of various Wisdom Schools that Cynthia will be offering over the coming months. How do we confront evil with a transformed consciousness? What is the nature of sin and evil?

This session is part of a 10 week series at Word and Life in Santa Barbara, California, an online program studying Cynthia Bourgeault’s The Wisdom Jesus and Richard Rohr’s The World, the Flesh and the Devil. Other Wisdom Waypoints teachers featured in the series include Rebecca Parker, Matthew Wright, Harrison Taylor, Buddy Parker, and Heather Ruce.

Forthcoming opportunities for further exploration:

In 2023 there will be opportunities through reading, reflection, and participation in Wisdom Schools on the ground and virtually, for a deeper dive into this topic through the empowering lens of Wisdom.

Our deep thanks to community leader Mary Ann Evans for her skillful hosting of this conversation, and to our teacher Cynthia Bourgeault for her wise guidance and willingness to engage the relevant and challenging issues of our times.
