Author Talk: Lucille Joseph
Thursday, May 8
Picton Branch
7pm – 8pm
In her book, Releasement: Learning to Dance with Life, author Lucille Joseph shares stories from a lifetime of inner enquiry and dedication to wisdom teachings. She pursued the spiritual quest simultaneously with an intense business career at a time when that was considered a very odd combination. Today, a revolution in the search for meaning has opened up access to timeless ideas and practices, sparking new interest and greater integration. This author talk is for those who are open to wonder, are curious about how to apply principles and practices of wisdom teachings, and explore the releasement of learning to dance with life. Presented in collaboration with Books & Company.

This talk will also discuss the four largest moons of Jupiter, the significance of their discovery for science and humanity’s understanding of the cosmos. As well, a brief discussion about the current NASA and ESA robotic journeys to Europa and some of the other moons, and why these missions are so important now and what we might expect to learn from them. Presented by the The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada: Belleville Centre
