With guests including nuclear physicist Amit Goswami, human potentialist Jean Houston, evolutionary biologist Elisabet Sahtouris, "the Socrates of radio" Michael Toms, and environmentalist Vandana Shiva, the meeting's purpose was to explore how disparate disciplines might work together toward common goals. Dalai Lama Renaissance, narrated by Harrison Ford, trains an absurdist but sympathetic eye on the visit, capturing moments of ego and intolerance as well as enlightenment and discovery.
