UUs to hear, discuss TED Talk at Sunday service

Posted

Please join the Pagosa Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on Sunday, March 17, 10:30 a.m., in-person or on Zoom, to hear and discuss a TED Talk by Rainn Wilson, author of “Soul Boom: Why We Need A Spiritual Revolution.”

From TED.com: “Do you feel overwhelmed by the complex issues facing our world, not to mention your own personal problems? Spirituality is the key to staying grounded and hopeful -- even for skeptics, says actor and author Rainn Wilson. He explains why it’s time for all of us to experience a spiritual shake-up and outlines two paths to tap into your innate wisdom, kindness and strength. The work begins within yourself.” 

From soulboom.com: “The trauma that our struggling species has experienced in recent years—because of both the pandemic and societal tensions that threaten to overwhelm us—is not going away anytime soon. Existing political and economic systems are not enough to bring the change that the world needs. In this book, Rainn Wilson explores the possibility and hope for a spiritual revolution, a ‘Soul Boom,’ to find a healing transformation on both a personal and global level.”

Wilson is an actor (“The Office”), comedian and film producer, a climate advocate and a member of the advisory board of Arctic Basecamp. 

Besides his many other comedic and dramatic roles on stage and screen, he is the co-founder of the media company SoulPancake and host of the Peacock docuseries “Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss.” He is the author of “Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution,” “The Bassoon King: My Life in Art, Faith, and Idiocy” and the co-author of “SoulPancake: Chew on Life’s Big Questions,” a New York Times bestseller.
