SUMMARY:Living Earth Youth Dialogues: Ecophilosophies East and West
DESCRIPTION:In this Living Earth Youth Dialogue\, Jared Morningstar will explore resources and roadblocks to ecological thinking and living found within both Eastern and Western philosophical and religious systems. He will first discuss Christianity and Islam\, detailing potential issues of transcendence and anthropocentrism in these traditions. He will also examine Buddhism and Taoism where one finds a less pronounced historical consciousness than the Abrahamic traditions. To conclude\, he will suggest how these traditions can be brought together under a process perspective to go beyond their individual shortcomings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more & RSVP

SUMMARY:Interweavings: Deep Listening: A Chaplain Approach to Healing and Wholeness
DESCRIPTION:Around the world\, the polarization and radicalization of groups who have lost faith in their fellow humans is increasing. We are seeing a troubling rise in generalizations and manipulative propaganda that encourage dehumanization of our fellow human family members. It seems that as each year passes\, the opportunities diminish for meaningful interactions and conversations which serve as short- and long-term reminders that we are communities that thrive on differences of thought and commonality of values. We have self-segregated to the point that we can stay in our physical and virtual bubbles\, significantly limiting our connections to our neighbors. Single dimensions of complex identities have shifted would-be friends into presumed enemies. Chaplains learn to minister to people of all faiths and beliefs. These skills can be applied to heal divides and bring people back together. \n\n\n\nFacilitators: Scott Nichols and Kathleen Reeves\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith

SUMMARY:Living Earth Youth Dialogues: Covid & Loneliness
DESCRIPTION:Sharing From the Heart is a monthly initiative where young people from China and the United States come together around the pressing ecological\, cultural\, and spiritual issues of our time. Through sharing thoughts\, personal stories\, and actions in local settings\, Chinese and American youth will begin building cross-cultural bonds to support a vision of a new\, ecological civilization. \n\n\n\nBeyond Covid\, there is another lasting and pressing pandemic in the US—the pandemic of loneliness\, isolation\, and political fanaticism. In China\, many young people are facing similar challenges. Many gave up urban life and moved to the countryside in search of community and connection with the land. In this conversation\, we share stories\, experiences and hold space for each other\, letting the digital fireside generate warmth\, hope\, and support. \n\n\n\nSPEAKER: Alexi Caracotsios \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlexi Caracotsios is a lifelong student and educator. Peripatetic by nature\, both mentally and physically\, he has lived in several countries\, is always reading multiple books\, and perpetually engaged in new hobbies\, most of which revolve around music and exploring nature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind out more

SUMMARY:Process Preps: Exploring Christian Process Theology in Small Groups
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to introduce friends to Christian Process Theology in a local setting? Not in a dogmatic way but in a friendly\, conversational way so that people can explore its ideas for themselves? That’s the process spirit. The Cobb Institute offers a slideshow for this purpose\, based on Marjorie Suchocki’s understanding of process theology. In this one-hour workshop\, Dr. Jay McDaniel will walk participants through the slideshow and offer tips for how to use it in a Sunday School class or discussion group without the need for experts.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: The Tao Flows on Like a River Forever
DESCRIPTION:Dating back in the Chinese oral tradition to the 11th Century BCE and now read by Westerners since the mid-1800s when Western-language translations were first available\, the Tao in the Tao Te Ching is described as an endless source of novelty\, ever flowing forward\, yet always favoring the good. These depictions of the Tao resemble many of Alfred North Whitehead’s dynamic concepts\, such as concrescence\, process\, living immediacy\, and the inter-relatedness of contrasts. In this Pop-Up event\, Dr. Rosemarie Anderson will provide examples of verses from her own translation of the Tao Te Ching\, suggestive of the intimacy between the Tao Te Ching and Whitehead’s philosophy of organism and why modern Chinese are now attracted to Process Philosophy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith

They will talk about food\, poetry\, gardening\, solutions for the climate crisis\, or life itself. Along the way they will enter into conversations with John B. Cobb\, Jr.\, age 97\, a pioneer in seed planting for an ecological civilization. \n\n\n\n\nFind Out More

SUMMARY:Interweavings: Remembering our Ancestors & Honoring our Beloved Dead
DESCRIPTION:The end of October is marked by many cultures as a sacred time when the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead becomes more porous. Gaelic or Celtic cultures celebrate Samhain and the Christian tradition has honored its dead on All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days. The wonderful animated film “Coco” honors the Mexican tradition of the Day of the Dead in exuberant color. On October 22\, Process & Faith will hold a special online event\, sponsored by the Pagan Path\, that will be a service of remembrance for everyone who has lost or grieved a loved one. Attendees will be encouraged to bring pictures of their loved ones. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: Balancing Eight Spiritual Tensions
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Jared Morningstar\n\n\n\nJoin an interactive Pop-Up event where we will explore four pairs of religious and spiritual dispositions which are in tension with one another. Participants will explore the feelings that come up with each of the perspectives\, and try to find ways to see richness in both sides of the tensions\, rather than just rejecting one side and restricting one’s perspective. Together we will consider how we can hold these tensions with grace so as to not lose the organic dynamism of authentic spirituality. \n\n\n\nResources: \n\n\n\nJared’s Article: “Eight Paradoxical Propositions on the Nature of True Spirituality”\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith

SUMMARY:Process Thinking & Human Living
DESCRIPTION:The way we think and the beliefs we hold about the workings of our cosmos have a huge impact on the way we live. Often\, our view of the world may rest on unquestioned assumptions that no longer reflect reality. In fact\, some of our assumptions about the world work directly against human flourishing.  \n\n\n\nSince the early twentieth century\, many have found life-giving resources in the work of Alfred North Whitehead and others working in what is now called process philosophy and process or open and relational theologies. Process thought often has more in common with ways of thinking that are found in the East – such as in the traditions of Buddhism\, Daoism\, and Confucianism – than it does with the dominant worldview in the West. How might we apply these resources in both East and West to address the division and suffering we see in our world today?  \n\n\n\nIn this 3-hour\, online seminar\, speakers from Process & Faith\, a program of the Center for Process Studies of Claremont School of Theology will explore aspects of process thought that make a positive difference in human life and in the life of the earth. A second seminar is being planned for early 2023 on process thought and various religious traditions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind out more & Register

SUMMARY:Second Critical Edition of Whitehead Conference: Whitehead’s Harvard Lectures\, 1925–1927
DESCRIPTION:General Theme: What does the second volume of Whitehead’s Harvard lectures tell us about his philosophy and its development?  \n\n\n\nThe first volume of Whitehead’s Harvard lectures\, published in early 2017 as The Harvard Lectures of Alfred North Whitehead\, 1924–1925: Philosophical Presuppositions of Science (HL1)\, established that Whitehead used his Harvard classroom to test out his philosophical ideas\, a conclusion supported by the fact that Whitehead would later write in the preface to Process and Reality that “In the expansion of these lectures to the dimensions of the present book\, I have been greatly indebted to the critical difficulties suggested by the members of my Harvard classes” (xiv–xv).  \n\n\n\nThrough a careful reading of this first year of Whitehead’s lectures\, the anthology Whitehead at Harvard: 1924–1925—based on the ninth WRP conference “Whitehead Revealed: Examining Whitehead’s First Year of Harvard Lectures”—showed Whitehead’s indebtedness to Harvard colleague Lawrence J. Henderson\, explored his ventures into cutting-edge quantum theory\, re-examined his relationship with Plato\, Kant\, and Hartshorne\, and challenged longstanding theories about the development of his thought\, such as Lewis Ford’s “temporal atomism” thesis.  \n\n\n\nWith the January 2021 publication of the second volume of Whitehead’s Harvard lectures as The Harvard Lectures of Alfred North Whitehead\, 1925–1927: General Metaphysical Problems of Science (HL2)\, scholars now have access to the laboratory of Whitehead’s classroom for his second and third years in America\, from the time just after the publication of his Science and the Modern World\, through his delivery of the 1926 Lowell lectures that would become Religion in the Making\, and up to his delivery of the Barbour-Page lectures that would become Symbolism: Its Meaning and Effect. \n\n\n\nInterested in submitting a paper? See our call for papers. \n\n\n\nProposals are due by 30 June 2022. \n\n\n\nFull papers are due by 1 September 2022. \n\n\n\nPapers presented at the conference will also be eligible for consideration for inclusion in a special issue of Process Studies that will focus on HL2. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More & Register

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: The Deeper Roots of Mass Shootings
DESCRIPTION:Join a dynamic discussion on the deeper roots of mass shootings\, inspired by process scholar Sheri Kling’s recent piece on the Cobb Institute blog Process in Praxis titled “Are Fragmentation\, Trauma\, and Demoralization at the Root of Mass Shootings?” \n\n\n\n“Rather than just arguing about whether the problem stems from the individuals or the guns\, I’d like to suggest that the roots may lie even deeper. And until we are willing to follow the threads all the way down\, we will never find a way out of the crisis of mass shootings. I strongly believe that the roots of this problem are cultural fragmentation\, an epidemic of trauma\, and widespread demoralization. In other words\, we are living in a sick society that is producing mass shootings out of its sickness.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP at process & faith

SUMMARY:Innersections Reading/Listening Group: Armand Hammer\, D.Z. Phillips
DESCRIPTION:This 6-week weekly Zoom meeting will focus on the catalog of the alternative underground rap duo Armand Hammer and a dialogue between them and the work of philosopher of religion D.Z. Phillips to investigate regions of similarity in questions of the boundaries between religion and life. \n\n\n\nArmand Hammer is known for a dense style of lyricism and soundscapes that engage the darker sides of existence with little to no hope of relief. Phillips presents a philosophy of religion that takes seriously the sense of religion\, with its value extending outside of the realms commonly thought of as “religious\,” such as the sonic textures and dissonant verbal offerings of Armand Hammer. Each week\, we will discuss a different Armand Hammer album in concert with an essay from Phillips’ collection entitled Recovering Religious Concepts: Closing Epistemic Divides\, looking at how both can inform each other in explorations on the supposed gap between the idea of God and the world. Every Friday at 12:30pm PDT to 1:30pm PDT\, June 3\, 2022 to July 15\, 2022. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin with zoom via CPS

SUMMARY:Economics for a Full World
DESCRIPTION:Because of the exponential economic growth since World War II\, we now live in a full world\, but we still behave as if it were empty\, with ample space and resources for the indefinite future. The founding assumptions of neoclassical economics\, developed in the empty world\, no longer hold\, as the aggregate burden of the human species is reaching—or\, in some cases\, exceeding—the limits of nature at the local\, regional\, and planetary levels. The prevailing obsession with economic growth puts us on the path to ecological collapse\, sacrificing the very sustenance of our well-being and survival. To reverse this ominous trajectory\, we must transition toward a steady-state economy focused on qualitative development\, as opposed to quantitative growth\, and the interdependence of the human economy and global ecosphere. Developing policies and institutions for a steady-state economy will require us to revisit the question of the purpose and ends of the economy. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Ecological Economist\, Emeritus Professor University of Maryland\, former Senior Economist in World Bank environmental Division\, former Alumni Professor of Economics\, Louisiana State University. In 1996\, he was awarded the Right Livelihood Award for “defining a path of ecological economics that integrates the key elements of ethics\, quality of life\, environment and community.” PhD Vanderbilt University; BA Rice University. Author of Beyond Growth\, and Steady-State Economics among other books. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nREgister
