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\nJoin with zoom via CPS

SUMMARY:Interfaith Explorations Summer 2022: Spirit and the Movies II
DESCRIPTION:After the overwhelming success of our Spring 2022 session of ‘Spirit and the Movies’\, we have decided to continue our exploration of film and spirituality. After we see a film (a movie\, a documentary\, a super bowl advertisement) we are inwardly moved. We wonder to ourselves: How did it inspire me? Challenge me? Move me? What did I learn from it? What questions does it raise for me? It is especially meaningful if we can discuss this with others – we grow through this discussion. In this eight-week session\, we will make use of films and their reviews as springboards for our own soulful reflections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister at The Interfaith Center

SUMMARY:Astrobiology\, Exo-Philosophy and Cosmic Religion Conference
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the 10th Anniversary Conference of the Whitehead Research Project (WRP)\, and the first Center for Process Studies (CPS) conference in new partnership with Willamette University\, the foremost goal of this conference is to illuminate the scientific\, philosophical and religious/theological resources of process philosophy for current discussions in Astrobiology. \n\n\n\nDrawing upon the work of Alfred North Whitehead\, Teilhard de Chardin\, Henri Bergson and a variety of others\, the event aims to explore fresh themes of process\, organism\, temporality\, novelty\, experience\, value\, and mind in the context of the philosophical\, scientific and religious layers of astrobiological research. \n\n\n\nCollectively\, the Center for Process Studies and the Whitehead Research Project have a laudable history of organizing cutting-edge conferences at the intersection of science\, philosophy\, and religion; and of hosting a variety of eminent thinkers from David Bohm and Alex Vilenkin to George Ellis\, Charles Hartshorne\, Judith Butler and Graham Harman.  \n\n\n\nSponsored by the John Templeton Foundation\, this new conference continues this legacy by bringing together sixteen scholars across science\, philosophy and theology for a three-day exploration of “Astrobiology\, Exo-Philosophy and Cosmic Religion.” Although registered attendance is limited\, four evening plenary lectures by Steven J. Dick\, Constance Bertka\, Douglas A. Vakoch and Chelsea Haramia are open to the public at Willamette University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Process Theology and the Enneagram
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Ken Pearson & Jay McDaniel \n\n\n\nThe enneagram teaches you who you are not—Enneagram master teacher\, Suzanne Stabile \n\n\n\nProcess theology invites us to imagine God as “in process” with us\, adapting to our unique situation and context by availing us of fresh possibilities for a journey into wholeness\, relative to our personality and propensities.  We can become more available to God’s living presence by understanding our gifts and limitations and appreciating the gifts of others who are different from us.  God works in them in their ways\, just as God works in us in our ways.  With its powerful typology\, the Enneagram contributes significantly to this self-understanding and appreciation.  It also helps us recognize that\, so often our gifts our also our sins\, thus avoiding the liabilities of self-deception.  Our hour together will provide an opportunity to consider the Enneagram types\, to see their relevance to process theology\, and to consider how\, together\, the Enneagram and process theology might help us grow in our potential to help heal a broken world.  The wholeness we seek is not personal alone\, but social and ecological too. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: The Kyoto School: a Buddhist Contribution to Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Jared Morningstar\n\n\n\nJoin a sophisticated discussion of the Kyoto School of philosophy and how these cosmopolitan Buddhist thinkers offer resources for building ecological civilization. \n\n\n\nFrom The Kyoto School: True Emptiness\, Wondrous Being website: \n\n\n\n“The Kyoto School was founded by Nishida Kitaro at the beginning of the 20th century\, and now covers three generations of philosophers who have endeavoured to express the insights of the East in the philosophical language of the West. As they did so\, however\, they have in fact created a new kind of philosophy\, a radically new way of thinking from the standpoint of emptiness – and empathy – which goes beyond the limited scope of traditional Western philosophy\, which is the standpoint of being – and that of the self-centred calculative mind\, cut off from a true experience of reality. Their insights will be of interest to those interested in current research about the nature of consciousness and cognition\, as well as those concerned by the inadequacy of the prevalent Western mode of thinking in tackling social\, political\, economic and environmental issues.” \n\n\n\nThe Kyoto School and its representatives offer a unique dialogue with traditions of Process thought\, as both maintain a skepticism of the dominant substance ontology of much of mainline Western thinking. In his forward to Nishitani’s masterpiece\, Religion and Nothingness\, scholar Winston L. King writes that \n\n\n\n“One other possibility remains [for dialogue between the Kyoto School and Western thought] in the field of American philosophy\, and one that has been slightly explored already. To this writer it seems to have the greatest potential for sustaining a full philosophical-religious contact between Buddhist East and Christian West of any thought pattern in America. This is the so-called process philosophy which had its roots in the thought of A. N. Whitehead\, especially in his seminal Process and Reality” (Winston L. King\, “Foreward” in Religion and Nothingness by Keiji Nishitani\, Nanzan Studies in Religion and Culture.

SUMMARY:Interfaith Explorations Summer 2022: Spirit and the Movies II
DESCRIPTION:After the overwhelming success of our Spring 2022 session of ‘Spirit and the Movies’\, we have decided to continue our exploration of film and spirituality. After we see a film (a movie\, a documentary\, a super bowl advertisement) we are inwardly moved. We wonder to ourselves: How did it inspire me? Challenge me? Move me? What did I learn from it? What questions does it raise for me? It is especially meaningful if we can discuss this with others – we grow through this discussion. In this eight-week session\, we will make use of films and their reviews as springboards for our own soulful reflections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister at The Interfaith Center

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: Buddhist Disenchantment & Process Reenchantment
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Doug Holmes\n\n\n\nBuddhists have long taught that the spiritual life eventually requires one to become disenchanted with the world. Process thinkers have suggested that to overcome our civilizational ills we need to reenchant the world that modernity has disenchanted. Do we have to choose\, or can we have both? We’ll examine some quotes about reenchantment and disenchantment from the process philosopher David Ray Griffin and the Theravadin Buddhist teacher Ajahn Chah. Process thought and Buddhism have a long and fruitful history\, but will this drive a wedge between them? Join us for an enchanted hour as we divine into these questions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: Daoist Meditation as Practice and Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Zhenbao Jin\n\n\n\nMeditation is not simply a practice\, but a philosophy-based practice\, or a practice-based philosophy. With philosophy I mean our fundamental understanding of life and the cosmos\, and especially\, our understanding of life and death. \n\n\n\nEach of us begins the practice of meditation with a certain philosophy. The point is\, what is our purpose to do the practice of meditation? Are we trying to prove that philosophy is true? \n\n\n\nIt depends on the philosophy itself. A philosophy that holds death is an inevitable and natural result of life will have effect upon the practice of meditation very different from a philosophy that holds death is not the end and life\, including body and soul\, has a potential of perpetual development. \n\n\n\nTaoism belongs to the latter category. I would like to introduce my practice and research on these issues and expect a lively discussion with other members of the community. \n\n\n\nI will talk about Daoist philosophy for about 20 minutes and then we will have a discussion. In the last 20 minutes I will introduce the practice of Daoist meditation and lead a 10-minute session. After that\, we will discuss about the experience. \n\n\n\nFor more information on Daoist meditation\, the following links would be helpful: \n\n\n\nMEDITATIONTAOISTWritten Evidence\, submitted to the UK parliament on the significance of meditation to help elder people lead healthy\, independent and fulfilled lives\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP TO RECEIVE ZOOM INFO

SUMMARY:Community and the Common Good: Structuring Human Life for Eco-Civilization
DESCRIPTION:EcoCiv is partnering with One Project to elevate themes of The New Possible through a series of dialogues on global systems change. Our December topic is “Community for the Common Good: Structuring Human Life for an Ecological Civilization” \n\n\n\nFew things are more descriptive of a civilization than the way human communities are organized. It reveals our values\, priorities\, and assumptions about what it means to be human. How should human communities be organized to promote the long-term wellbeing of people and the planet? How will cities be designed? How are resources shared? What are the power dynamics? Who determines policy? How are local communities related to a global community of communities? Exploring a range of interconnected issues from localism\, urban planning\, sustainable development\, and more\, our panel of experts will discuss the need for transforming communities for an ecological civilization. \n\n\n\nThe live\, online event will include a 60-minute moderated panel discussion\, followed by 30 minutes of breakout room discussions for all attendees. Join us to learn more about promising paths for feeding the future. \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\nHelena Norberg-Hodge – Founder & Director\, Local Futures and The International Alliance for LocalisationYoungsoo Kim – Associate\, James Corner Field OperationsAlexandra Mitsotaki – Co-Founder & President\, World Human Forum\n\n\n\nRegister Here
