Excellent introduction to Teilhard de Chardin!

Thank you, Father Goergen for helping spread the loving wisdom of Teilhard! Our world so desperately needs it.

Excellent, Immersive Journey

Fr. Goergen offers retreatants an authentic, self-appropriative journey through Teilhard's central works and insights. I will listen to this periodically for years to come. Thank you Father!

A unique and human view of religion

For decades I was under the belief that God and our humanity were two different things without a way to conciliate! This is a Gods work for sure!
