“R. Buckminster Fuller: THE HISTORY (and Mystery) OF THE UNIVERSE”

The Center for Spirituality and Sustainability is an independent, not-for-profit organization located in a geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller on land leased from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE). Since 1971 the Center has served the University and area communities as a place for multifaith and interfaith activity.  A variety of educational, cultural and social events are held throughout the year inside this landmark structure.Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Baha’i and Native American faith traditions hold devotions, celebrations and public programs at the Center. A “Celebration of World Faiths” is held annually, highlighting various faith traditions and interfaith issues. The Center also hosts an annual awards ceremony honoring two awardees each year. One award is presented for spiritual leadership and another for leadership in sustainability. These annual dual awards allow the Center recognize those who have shown leadership values that reenforce the Center's mission to promote humanity's sacred connection to the Earth and each other.

Fuller Dome 90th Day Conference

The Fuller Dome, Center for Spirituality and Sustainability is offering a schedule of special programs in collaboration with the Buckminster Fuller Institute and the Estate of Buckminster Fuller. This five-day series of events begins on Thursday, 3/27/25.

<p>The theatrical one man play “R. Buckminster Fuller: THE HISTORY (and Mystery) OF THE UNIVERSE” written by D. W. Jacobs returns to the Fuller Dome for three special performances. Actor Jon-Michael Rutter will play the role of Buckminster Fuller as he takes us on an emotional and inspiring journey through Fuller’s life. The dome in which these performances will be happening is a space that Fuller himself designed, built, and lectured in after its construction in 1971. </p><p>The play was crafted by Jacobs from Fuller’s own words and this performance in the Fuller Dome will embody Bucky’s spirit in a truly unique way. Buckminster Fuller will be brought to life in front of an intimate audience within the miniature earth geodesic dome he created as an expression of the wholistically synergetic thinking that makes his legacy more and more relevant with each passing news cycle. Those in attendance for these Fuller Dome performances will be given the chance to gain a unique world view and will likely be left asking themselves to discover what one individual is able to do on behalf of humanity.</p>
