Cosmic Walk Introduction (John Seed, August 2023)

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Transcript of John Seed’s spoken introduction to a live Cosmic Walk, August 2023. Companion piece to The Cosmic Spiral, the ritual script itself.

This process was devised by Sister Miriam Therese McGillis, a Catholic nun from a community called Genesis Farm in New Jersey, who was a colleague, devotee and perhaps disciple of the late Father Thomas Berry, the most respected, progressive Catholic theologian of the second half of the 20th century.

The Cosmic Walk — Ritual Script (John Seed's version)

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

This is the ritual script John Seed has used since 2012, adapted with thanks to Sister Miriam Therese McGillis (Genesis Farm, New Jersey) and Ruth Rosenhek. For the illustrated, browsable version of this same story, see our Cosmic Walk timeline; this page is the spoken ritual text itself, meant to be read aloud while walking a lit spiral. For why this story is told at all — Thomas Berry’s case for one shared creation story — see John’s own introduction.
