Teilhard de Chardin’s Zest for Life:
Coffee, Contemplation, and Conversation
Sunday, September 28, 2025
Join us on Sunday, September 28, 2025 for an intimate, experiential afternoon, immersing ourselves in an exploration of Teilhard’s passion for the possible with Amy Edelstein.
Edelstein will share selections from her new book, A Zest for Life, in which she turned passages from Teilhard’s Letters in Time of War into poems, without changing the original text. Drawing from the evocative correspondence between Teilhard and his cousin, Marguerite Teillard-Chambon, these letters have the power to uplift and inspire. They share a remarkable evolutionary vision of a human soul reaching for greater and greater divinity. Edelstein will share her insights and essays inspired by Teilhard’s work. Participants will also have the opportunity to write and share their own poems or prose inspired by the readings, deepening the engagement and internalization of this profound and transformative view.
In-person participants will receive a copy of Edelstein’s book, A Zest for Life.
