The Wisdom of the Stars

The 2023 Sophia Centre conference, in the year of our 21st birthday, will explore the concept of the Wisdom of the Stars.

Since earliest recorded history and, in all cultures from cave art to space telescopes, the stars, planets and other celestial bodies have functioned as sources of knowledge about the world or the individual, the future (and past and present), the nature of the universe and concepts of the divine. They have performed this function through magic, divination, astrology, poetry, music and the visual arts, modern science and science fiction.
