“From LUCA to Aloha: The Evolution of Life on Earth”
This inspiring multimedia lecture by Dr. Gary Greenberg traces the epic journey of life on Earth—from LUCA, the Last Universal Common Ancestor, to the emergence of modern humans and the responsibilities we now hold as stewards of our planet. Grounded in cutting-edge science and woven with the wisdom of Hawaiian culture, the story unfolds through the guiding principles of E Ola (live and thrive), Aloha ʻĀina (love and respect for the land), Mālama (to care for), and Kuleana (responsibility). By blending evolutionary biology with Native Hawaiian values, this talk offers a powerful reflection on our shared origins and the sacred duty to care for the Earth and each other.

Dr. Tom Vendetti will be screening, “Dalai Lama Scientist”, An uplifting and optimistic documentary about the Dalai Lama’s meetings with scientists from around the world to find commonalities among Buddhist science and western science to promote health, understanding and compassion for all.
