Nobel laureate Paul Nurse describes evolution by natural selection as "the most beautiful idea in biology." He unpacks Charles Darwin's theory, explaining how complexity emerges without a designer and the profound impact of tiny variations on our understanding of life.

Nurse explores the deep genetic connections linking all organisms, from humans to yeast, prompting a crucial question: if all life is related, what do we owe to the living world? A distinguished biochemist, Nurse was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize for his discoveries in cell cycle regulation.

“The Journey” represents the spiritual work Native peoples undertake to transform painful experiences into meaning and purpose. A powerful manifestation of this is the Canoe Journey.

Since 1989, Northwest Coastal Indians have participated in the Canoe Journey, traveling to villages along the ancestral highways of the Salish Sea. This spiritual commitment requires participants to be free from alcohol and drugs, offering profound healing for individuals, families, and tribes, especially those in recovery.
