In preparation for the June 2001 "EarthSpirit Rising" Conference held in Louisville KY, Connie Barlow (over the phone) and John Cock (in person) audiotaped Thomas Berry reading short passages (selected by Barlow) from his 2000 book, The Great Work, published by Bell Tower / Random House.
All 11 passages that Thomas read aloud during those sessions (each 2 minutes or less) are now freely available here, in mp3 format below. Thomas Berry and the audio recorders assert no copyright, so go ahead and download these audios for use in educational and inspirational settings — for furthering The Great Work in myriad ways! |

VIDEOS now on youtube: Lou Niznik Legacy Collection
Lou Niznik's great work was certainly his journeying to speaking events of Thomas Berry in order to capture the talks on the pre-digital technology available at the time. All this he did with no remuneration. Now, The Thomas Berry Foundation has made the Niznik film collection available to everyone everywhere by way of youtube. The selection below is a sampling of the best.
