SUMMARY:Interweavings: Sacred Practices\, Dynamic Texts
DESCRIPTION:How might ancient texts speak to us afresh today? Can pre–modern practices be revitalized and re-imagined to address modern concerns? \n\n\n\nRabbi Leila Gal Berner and Sheri D. Kling strongly believe that there is still something life-giving in both ancient texts and pre-modern practices\, and that both can be explored in dynamic ways while still being grounded in timeless wisdom. \n\n\n\nOnce Rabbi Berner was introduced to the Christian contemplative practice of lectio divina—a Latin phrase meaning “sacred reading”—she immediately fell in love with its ability to drop her into a living experience of biblical text. She wanted other Jews to have that same experience\, and created a uniquely Jewish expression of lectio divina that she has named Kriat Hakodesh (Reading the Holy) reflected in her book\, Listening to the Heart of Genesis: A Contemplative Path.  \n\n\n\nSheri Kling has had similar experiences with Christian contemplative practices\, and has refashioned three of them—lectio divina\, praying with icons\, and praying with the imagination—into a transreligious practice she calls Dream Divina. While the target of contemplation in her practice is one’s individual dream and its images\, the underlying spiritual “technologies” of the Christian practices still carry the same power to reveal the presence of the Sacred. \n\n\n\nIn this event\, Rabbi Berner and Dr. Kling will share their own experiences with reshaping traditional practices to reawaken modern sensibilities to potentially transforming encounters with texts and with God. \n\n\n\nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nrsvp at Process & Faith

SUMMARY:Healing Our Collective Pain with Sheri Kling
DESCRIPTION:This is a two-part workshop with Sheri Kling on November 12 and 19 at 7PM ET. One registration grants access to both sessions. \n\n\n\nWe are a fragmented people in deep pain. In the West – and especially in the United States  – we are divided societally\, as evidenced in our political polarization and the rise of hate groups\, we are divided interpersonally as evidenced in increasing loneliness and isolation\, and we are divided intrapersonally\, as is evidenced by the exploding usage of antidepressants and the correlation between early adverse childhood experience and adult suffering and illness. \n\n\n\nEvery day the world seems to tell us that we are isolated individuals struggling to matter\, to belong\, and to change our negative experiences. If we are to move toward wholeness societally\, interpersonally\, and intrapersonally\, neither religion nor psychological theory and practice are enough because the very worldview that we are swimming in as a culture – materialistic dualism – is a major reason for the splitting we experience. Could there be a way to look at both cosmos and psyche that promotes wholeness rather than separation? \n\n\n\nWhether the topic is politics\, racism\, or climate change and environmental destruction\, the hard truth is that we cannot effect a change in the popular imagination with facts and reason alone. In this workshop\, Sheri D. Kling will offer new ways to look at both cosmos and psyche and show how a spiritual practice of dream work can be an embodied\, transformational practice that reveals a Reality that shows us that we matter\, we belong\, and we can experience positive change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more & Register

SUMMARY:Work-in-Process Seminar | Christopher Hill: The experience of suffering: the path(étique) of AN Whitehead and Michel Henry
DESCRIPTION:Suffering is an experience that arrives unmediated from ‘nowhere’ yet from ‘within’\, ineluctably subjective\, sui generis\, at best an experience vaguely and inadequately comparable. It is a phenomenon that takes a purely phenomenological analysis beyond its own limit. Yet\, if we may struggle describing the phenomenon of suffering\, can we at least establish the ontological possibility of suffering experience? In this presentation Christopher Hill answers the question affirmatively by drawing on the respective thought of AN Whitehead the ‘process metaphysician’ and Michel Henry the ‘process phenomenologist’ (Mullarky\, 2006:48pp). Though disparate thinkers sharing little but an apparent consent to the processual nature of reality\, Hill argues that both offer in their respective yet complimentary ways a fundamental ontological basis for the experience of suffering.  \n\n\n\nThe seminar is completely free and we welcome everyone regardless of their academic position.

SUMMARY:Living Earth Youth Dialogues: The Living Earth Community and the Human Soul
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, Oliver Mesmer will explore what it means to be a part of a living community of sentient beings—a community of many species within the diverse kingdoms of life. His presentation will focus on what he has learned in his research with the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology on topics such as the differentiated sentience of the more-than-human world\, as well as ecological spirituality. Oliver will invite us into a discussion on how we might orient our perception\, our actions\, and even our lives around the paradigm that we each inhabit a particular niche within a global interdependent ecosystem. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more & RSVP

SUMMARY:Work-in-Process Seminar | Paul Stenner: Reflections upon Transdisciplinary Applications of Whiteheadian Process Thinking within Social and Human Sciences
DESCRIPTION:With Lennart Posch and Gabriel Bianchi\, Paul Stenner has recently been involved in assembling a Special Issue of the journal Human Affairs which deals with the relevance of Whiteheadian process thinking to social and human sciences.  His contribution to the Special Issue provides an overview of Whitehead’s thinking which stresses the differences and continuities at play within the three main phases of Whitehead’s career. The paper is available here: A.N. Whitehead and Process Thought (degruyter.com) and can be discussed during the meeting. After introducing this paper\, Paul Stenner will reflect upon some of his research which aims to apply process thinking to a number of topics at a variety of scales within several disciplines\, but always with a ‘transdisciplinary’ orientation. At the broadest scale\, Whitehead’s ‘turn’ towards a critique of scientific materialism provides the basis for a series of so-called ‘postmodern’ perspectives springing from a new sociological orientation to ‘the modern world’. At a smaller scale of focus\, Whitehead provides powerful ways of re-thinking a host of psychological questions from the nature of feeling and emotion\, through the role of the brain in the production of experience\, to the problem of psychosocial transition. \n\n\n\nThe seminar is completely free and we welcome everyone regardless of their academic position.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Faith & Feeling
DESCRIPTION:In theological circles\, German philosopher Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768–1834) may be best known for his text\, On Religion: Speeches to Its Cultured Despisers\, his effort to defend religion from Enlightenment skeptics. He’s also been a subject of interest to process thinkers like Philip Clayton\, Thandeka\, and\, more recently\, Chad Bahl. In his doctoral research\, Chad has been putting Schleirmacher’s thoughts on faith and feeling into conversation with the work of Alfred North Whitehead. \n\n\n\nHe has found that “In both process thought and Schleiermacher’s philosophy\, the essence of existence is not lifeless matter or dogmatic precepts. Rather\, it is lived experience. In this lived experience\, we are interconnected both as human beings and in fellowship with the Divine.” \n\n\n\nSchleiermacher is known for talking about faith as a feeling of “absolute dependence.” Resonant with Whitehead’s thinking about God’s aims for every actual event\, Chad describes this as a “natural result of being in tune with our deepest intuitions. It arises from our recognition of the presence and purpose of God in our lives.” As we cultivate our awareness of God – through spiritual practices like contemplation – this feeling naturally arises as a kind of “God-consciousness” that is “developed as we experience community with others\, fellowship with the Divine\, interaction with nature\, the Gospel story\, and much more.” \n\n\n\nWhile each of us may experience the Divine differently\, it is this “personal perception\, (not reason\, dogma\, or scientific proof)\, which serves as the centering principle for faith.” According to Chad\, attuning to this interior faith and feeling is crucial to human life. “We become fully actualized human beings when we realize fellowship with the Divine in our experiences of both Creator and creation.” \n\n\n\nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nrsvp at Process & Faith

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Hinduism\, Ever-Evolving
DESCRIPTION:In his video\, “Evolution and Vedanta\,” Swami Padmanabha talks about God or Love as the ultimate supreme reality\, and how God along with all realities is dynamic\, ever-evolving\, and growing. Reality is not made up of fixed\, changeless substances; rather\, it is marked by what he calls “deep evolution” – a sacred evolution at the very depths of reality. \n\n\n\nIn this conversation\, Dr. Jeffery Long\, a practitioner and theologian in the Vedanta tradition of Sri Ramakrishna as well as a scholar of process philosophy and Asian studies\, and Swami Padmanabha\, a leader and teacher in the Gaudiya Vaishnavism tradition of Hinduism\, will share their thoughts on resonances between their two Hindu traditions and process thought. \n\n\n\nThey’ll explore such areas as: \n\n\n\n\nThe dynamic nature of God and reality\n\n\n\nTexts and tradition as “ever fresh\,” especially in Vaishnava traditions and the tradition of Sri Ramakrishna\n\n\n\nHuman purpose\, consciousness\, and “radical personalism”\n\n\n\nAstonishment and surrender; divine will\, human choice\, and grace\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nrsvp at Process & Faith

DESCRIPTION:Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Alfred North Whitehead came from very different religious backgrounds yet a study of their ideas shows a number of important and helpful synergies. \n\n\n\nIn this event\, Dr. Bruce Epperly\, a public theologian skilled at sharing process ideas in digestible ways\, will examine these two important thinkers’ ideas. He’ll show the ways in which their themes converge and examine how this synergy can help us plan strategies to join God’s adventure of the universe in our own spheres. \n\n\n\nIn his recent book\, The God of Tomorrow: Whitehead and Teilhard on Metaphysics\, Mysticism\, and Mission\, Epperly argues that both thinkers call for a theological adventure that embraces change and evolution and sees God as a dynamic and transformative force in the universe. Whitehead’s metaphysics of love and Teilhard’s metaphysics of spiritual evolution offer a synthesis that challenges traditional notions of God and invites us to recognize the mystical and transformative potential within ourselves. \n\n\n\nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nrsvp at Process & Faith

SUMMARY:The Cosmic Call of Value: Five Propositions with Andrew M. Davis
DESCRIPTION:In this Zoom session for the Developmentalist group\, Andrew Davis will present The Cosmic Call of Value: Five Propositions. \n\n\n\nWho are we? Why does anything at all exist? What is it that we should be up to in this universe? Through the elaboration of five propositions as “invitations for attention\,” Andrew offers a philosophical reflection on value as a means of approaching an answer (or set of answers) to these questions. In doing so\, he will draw upon key voices of influence for whom value is an irreducible feature of the cosmos calling to us at various levels of our being and becoming. \n\n\n\nWill we answer? \n\n\n\nSign up required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more & register

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Preaching the Uncontrolling Love of God
DESCRIPTION:Millions of people yearn for a profound relationship with the ever-present God who is loving\, inclusive\, persuasive\, and uncontrolling.

SUMMARY:Living Earth Youth Dialogues: Ether Permaculture
DESCRIPTION:In this dialogue\, Spencer Ward will join us in sowing paradigms to come. He will begin by inviting us to remember that we are all alive as ourselves\, together in the basic tapestry of all the ways we live. Then we will contemplate the ethology of this tapestry—the ethology of ethology—what we could call ‘ether’. We will consider how every field (every age and acre) comes pre-unified in the ethereal concreteness of being alive together. And we will explore how we can bring the framework of permaculture to this universal soil to cultivate food for body and soul. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more & RSVP

SUMMARY:Metaphysics and the Matter With Things: Thinking With Iain McGilchrist
DESCRIPTION:Iain McGilchrist’s recent magnum opus The Matter With Things (2021) constitutes one of the most significant contributions to the contemporary process tradition as revealed through layers of neuroscientific data and decades of remarkable clinical research into brain lateralization and the hemisphere hypothesis. Drawing from multiple scientific disciplines\, and from both ancient and modern philosophers including Heraclitus\, Schelling\, James\, Bergson\, Whitehead\, and others\, McGilchrist has established himself as a formidable process thinker committed to reintegrating the holistic modes of thought associated with the right hemisphere as a guide to cultural renewal. As part of this effort\, he affirms the ontological irreducibility of relationality\, time\, value\, purpose\, experience\, consciousness\, and the sacred. This conference brings leading process thinkers across various disciplines\, including physics\, neuroscience\, psychology\, philosophy\, and theology into critical dialogue with McGilchrist’s work in a collegial effort to assess\, question\, extend\, and apply it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More
