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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScott Nichols is the director of Spiritual Care and a Chaplain for Gentiva Hospice in central Illinois with over 15 years’ experience in Chaplaincy and Family Ministry. Having earned his BA in General Ministry and MA in Christian Leadership from Lincoln Christian University\, Scott has combined his education and experience in developing a universal approach to spirituality and ministry. Scott began his clinical career as a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor for the state of Illinois\, focusing on dual-diagnoses patients and family therapy with Gateway Foundation and Chestnut Health Systems. He has lectured on topics such as Case Management and Behavioral Therapy at the NAADAC Annual Conference. In his free time\, Scott enjoys creating and teaching music in his studio and relaxes by retreating to his “cabin” in the hills of Alabama. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Reverend Kathleen Reeves is the Director of Spiritual Care at RIVA Hospice of California where she works as chaplain and bereavement coordinator. Kathleen is an ordained interfaith minister and holds a Master of Divinity in interfaith theology. She has been active in interfaith peace and is a member of the Inland Valley Interfaith Working Group for Middle East Peace. She is the President of the Upland Interfaith Council. Kathleen is part of the Cobb Institute team and works to live a life in process. \n\n\n\nKathleen is a student of Japanese tea ceremony through the international Chado Urasenke Tankokai association of the Urasenke school in Kyoto\, Japan. Kathleen follows an earth-based religion.

SUMMARY:Process Prep: 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 and power point for this purpose\, based on Marjorie Suchocki’s understanding of process theology. In this one-hour pop-pop\, Jay McDaniel will walk participants through the slideshow and offer tips for how to use it in a Sunday School class or discussion group. No need for experts. The slideshow does the teaching and you\, the teacher\, facilitate the discussion. \n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJay McDaniel\, PhD\, is professor emeritus of world religions at Hendrix College in Conway\, Arkansas; editor of the website Open Horizons; author of several books on process and ecology and process and spirituality; and chair of the board of the Cobb Institute.

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\nAbout the Facilitator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRosemarie Anderson\, PhD\, is professor emerita of psychology at Sofia University\, an author\, poet\, and Episcopal priest. In 2017 she received the Abraham Maslow Heritage Award from the Society for Humanistic Psychology of the American Psychological Association. She is author of Celtic Oracles (Random House\, 1998) and The Divine Feminine Tao Te Ching: A New Translation and Commentary (Inner Traditions\, 2021) and co-author of several scholarly books on transpersonal/transformative research methods.

SUMMARY:Interweavings: A Season of Darkness and Light
DESCRIPTION:Cosmologically\, this period of late fall marks the increase in hours of darkness until the winter solstice when the hours of light begin to make a return. Many religions have major holidays during this period. For some\, the period of darkness is not feared but is celebrated as a time of rest and renewal or of waiting in a kind of pregnant pause. Most celebrate the increase in light and see this turning of the season as the welcome return of the energies of rebirth and growth. \n\n\n\nIn this event\, we’ll introduce some of the major holidays in late fall and early winter\, noting their significance in each tradition. We’ll look at Diwali\, Advent\, Hanukkah\, St. Lucia Day\, Winter Solstice\, Christmas\, Epiphany\, Kwanzaa\, New Year’s Eve\, and Lunar New Year. \n\n\n\nCome prepared to share a brief memory of a favorite winter holiday food or tradition from your own background! \n\n\n\nFacilitator: Sheri Kling\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\nSheri D. Kling\, Ph.D. is an author\, speaker\, singer\, and spiritual mentor who draws from wisdom and mystical traditions\, relational worldviews\, depth psychology\, and the intersection of spirituality and science to help people find meaning\, belonging\, and transformation. She regularly delivers dynamic “Music & Message” presentations to groups\, and offers courses\, concerts\, and spiritual retreats. Dr. Kling is director of Process & Faith and the John Cobb Legacy Fund and a faculty member of the Haden Institute. She sees her mission as midwifing wholeness in individuals\, organizations\, communities\, and culture. Her work can be found online at www.sherikling.com.

SUMMARY:Interweavings: Remembering our Ancestors & Honoring our Beloved Dead
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Pagan path \n\n\n\nHosted by Kathleen Reeves\n\n\n\nThe 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.

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\n \n\n\n\nResources: \n\n\n\nJared’s Article: “Eight Paradoxical Propositions on the Nature of True Spirituality”

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\n\nTOPICS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeauty in Troubled Times: Process Aesthetics\n\n\n\nIn a time of lament and anxiety across the world\, we yearn for peace. Whitehead said that peace is primarily a “trust in the efficacy of Beauty.” In this talk by Patricia Adams Farmer\, we will explore ways in which a process view of beauty can help refresh our spirits\, widen our souls\, and offer hope to our beleaguered planet. \n\n\n\n\n\nPatricia Adams Farmer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIdeas in Process: Five Whiteheadian Transitions\n\n\n\nAt the heart of Whitehead’s process philosophy are several transformative existential and theological transitions. This presentation by Andrew Davis will focus on five in particular: 1. From Exception to Exemplification; 2. From Being to Becoming; 3. From Mechanism to Organism;  4. From Independence to Mutual Immanence; and 5. From Force to Persuasion. These transitions not only transform the way we understand our existence and experience in relation to the world\, they also transform our understanding of God and God’s relationship to and interaction with the world.  \n\n\n\n\n\nAndrew M. Davis\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHealing Politics: Process and Political Theology\n\n\n\nIn this time of political polarization\, process and open and relational theologies provide a pathway toward a more perfect union\, embracing diversity and difference in ways that promote the growth and well-being of persons and communities. Today\, we need communities of stature that affirm the benefit of contrasting viewpoints in securing economic justice\, human rights\, and ecological well being. In this talk by Bruce Epperly\, we will explore ways to embody the beloved community in politics\, balance freedom and responsibility\, and join compassion and law in securing the interplay of order and novelty. \n\n\n\n\n\nBruce Epperly\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWholeness & Transformation: A Process Spirituality\n\n\n\nEvidence of fragmentation abounds at all levels of human experience – societal\, interpersonal\, and even within ourselves. What will bring us the wholeness and transformation for which we yearn? In this presentation\, Sheri Kling will draw from the integrating work of Whitehead and Swiss psychologist Carl G. Jung to show us that at both the level of the cosmos and of the human psyche\, reality is whole-making and sacred. We can come to know that reality for ourselves through spiritual practices like dream work that facilitate embodied experiences of wholeness and show us that we matter\, we belong\, and we can experience positive change. \n\n\n\n\n\nSheri D.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: The Deeper Roots of Mass Shootings
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Sheri D. Kling\, PhD\n\n\n\nJoin 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\nResources: \n\n\n\nSheri’s Blog at the Cobb Institute: “Are Fragmentation\, Trauma\, and Demoralization at the Root of Mass Shootings?”

SUMMARY:Beauty in a Time of Lament with Jay McDaniel and Patricia Adams Farmer (Process & Faith Twin Cities)
DESCRIPTION:We live in difficult and trying times . . . \n\n\n\nProcess theology offers us the idea that\, even in the worst of times\, there dwells within the human heart and within nature a lure toward beauty: soul beauty\, natural beauty\, moral beauty\, artistic beauty\, and tragic beauty. In each instance what makes beauty “beautiful” is not that it is necessarily happy\, although sometimes it is; but rather that it is inherently attractive\, meaning giving\, and\, in a certain way\, refreshing. Beauty gives the soul peace\, hope\, and the energy to carry on. \n\n\n\nMcDaniel and Farmer will share their views and invite yours on the many forms of beauty\, including musical beauty and the beauty of landscapes and waterways\, animals and plants\, as they offer opportunities for touching God and moving forward\, no matter how trying the times. \n\n\n\nDiscussion Leaders \n\n\n\nJay McDaniel is Executive Director of the Cobb Institute for Community and Practice and author of several books\, including What is Process Thought? Seven Answers to Seven Questions. His website\, openhorizons.org\, features many articles and images at the intersection of process and beauty. \n\n\n\nPatricia Adams Farmer is a process theologian\, minister\, and writer with a special focus on beauty. She is the author of Embracing a Beautiful God\, Fat Soul: A Philosophy of S-I-Z-E\, Replanting Ourselves in Beauty\, Beauty and Process Theology\, and two theological novels. \n\n\n\nSuggested reading \n\n\n\nhttps://www.openhorizons.org/my-religion-is-beauty-patricia-adams-farmer.html \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nProcess and Faith Twin Cities is an ecumenical organization of theologians\, ministers\, and others who are interested in the theological and practical implications of process-relational theology.

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\nRegister at the Interfaith Center

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\nRegister at the Interfaith Center

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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources \n\n\n\nBooksThe Road Back to You The Path Between Us: An Enneagram Journey to Healthy RelationshipsThe Journey Toward WholenessWhat’s My Type?The Complete EnneagramEnneagram: Understanding Yourself and the Others in You LifeThe Spiritual Dimension of the EnneagramThe Enneagram: A Christian PerspectiveEnneagram SpiritualityEnneagram Daily ReflectionsThe Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth forthe Nine Personality TypesMirror for the Soul: A Christian Guide to the EnneagramThe Sacred Enneagram: Finding Your Unique Path to Spiritual Growth & Workbook \n\n\n\nPodcastsEnneagram 2.0 — Beatrice Chestnut & Uranio PaesThe Road Back to You — Ian Cron & Suzanne StabileThe Enneagram Journey — Suzanne StabileTypology — Ian Cron \n\n\n\nOther ResourcesLife In the Trinity Ministry: www.lifeinthetrinityministry.comEvents\, Bookstore\, DVD’s\, MP3’s\, Podcasts\, Enneagram Journey workbooks“The Table” – online subscription service / $15/ monthFacebook Page – Life in the Trinity MinistryPeter White – The Sabbath Life www.thesabbathlife.comMenu: Blogs / EnneagramSpiritual Direction: Rev.

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. Berkeley: University of California Press\, 1983\, xxi). \n\n\n\nThis pop-up will examine the specific resources provided by these philosophers of emptiness for collaborating in the project of ecological civilization. \n\n\n\nThis pop-up will be hosted on Zoom by Jared Morningstar. The session will last approximately one hour. Resources pertaining to the topic are linked below as springboards for discussion. Feel free to explore these resources to whatever extent interests you prior to the pop-up. \n\n\n\nResources: \n\n\n\nScience and Technology: Nature Denaturalised and Humans DehumanisedWatsuji’s Idea of the Self and the Problem of Spatial Distance in Environmental EthicsReligion and Science in Nishitani KeijiThe Kyoto School Philosophy on Place: Nishida and Ueda
