July 30 – Blurring the Lines Between the Sacred and the Secular: The Science of Divination, 9 & 11 a.m.

Until recently, people considered nothing more secular than science, and nothing more occult or sacred than divination. That’s beginning to change. Modern technology is finally proving what seers and sages have always known: a particular frame of mind favors new ideas, a frame of mind facilitated by divination. Nancy Vedder-Shults will illustrate her talk with a number of ancient, indigenous, and contemporary oracular techniques from her new book The World is Your Oracle: Divinatory Practices for Tapping Your Inner Wisdom and Getting the Answers You Need.

The FUS Chime Choir, directed by Linda Warren, will play.
