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

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

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

SUMMARY:Readings on Faiths
DESCRIPTION:A Book Group Exploring the Diversity of Religion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReadings on Faiths Around the World is a book group that reads and discusses books covering the vast diversity of world faiths. Of course\, the standard seven world religions will be included but we will also explore less well-known religious/spiritual groups including Afro-Caribbean\, Bahá’í\, Humanist\, Jain\, Pagan\, Zoroastrian\, and more. The only prerequisite needed for this group is a desire to learn more about the world’s religious traditions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will begin with Stephen Prothero’s God is not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World\, one of the best books on world religions. \n\n\n\nFrom the title it is clear Prothero does not believe religions are the same. He argues we distort religions by claiming how similar they are rather than looking at the differences that make each unique. \n\n\n\nProthero points to what he calls “pretend pluralism.” Pluralism became popular following World War II with religious writers/scholars like Huston Smith. Smith presented the idea in his book The Religions of Man published in 1958. The Religions of Man claims the essential unity of religions by focusing on spiritual experience rather than doctrine or dogma. This led to the claim that the world’s religions were simply different paths leading to the same goal. Prothero\, however\, argues that religion is too important to pawn off as having no significant differences. Religions should be understood as they are\, not just at their best but also at their worst. \n\n\n\n\n\nProthero closes his introduction with the following: \n\n\n\n“One of the most common misconceptions about the world’s religions is that they plumb the same depths\, ask the same questions. They do not. . . . Every religion\, however\, asks after the human condition. Here we are in these human bodies. What now? What next? What are we to become?” (24) \n\n\n\nTo join\, click GOING\, and enter your name and email.

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\nPlease read through these excerpts prior to the session: https://chemicalx.solutions/enchantment/

SUMMARY:Hidden Gems Learning Circle: Session 6
DESCRIPTION:This learning circle\, geared towards participants with some familiarity with process thought but lacking substantial knowledge of the Islamic tradition\, will attempt to present the religion of Islam in connection with the core values or “four hopes” of Process & Faith: Whole Persons\, Whole Communities\, Whole Planet\, and Holistic Thinking. Over the course of six sessions\, aspects of Islamic spirituality\, ritual practice\, legal theory\, philosophy\, and sacred texts will be explored in light of these values\, showing how the resources of the Islamic tradition have the potential to build towards these same aims. The course will begin with a general introduction to Islam and conclude with a case study of Muhammad Iqbal\, a South Asian Muslim philosopher and poet who is the clearest example of Islamic process-relational thinking in recent times. \n\n\n\nA variety of resources will be provided for each session which participants are encouraged to explore at their leisure prior to the discussion. Sessions will begin with a brief presentation on the major topics to be covered\, followed by space for questions and open-ended dialogue which to further connect these Islamic intellectual and spiritual resources with process thinking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo RSVP\, click the “Going” button\, enter your name and email\, and the meeting information will be emailed to you.

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

The course will begin with a general introduction to Islam and conclude with a case study of Muhammad Iqbal\, a South Asian Muslim philosopher and poet who is the clearest example of Islamic process-relational thinking in recent times. \n\n\n\nA variety of resources will be provided for each session which participants are encouraged to explore at their leisure prior to the discussion. Sessions will begin with a brief presentation on the major topics to be covered\, followed by space for questions and open-ended dialogue which to further connect these Islamic intellectual and spiritual resources with process thinking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo RSVP\, click the “Going” button\, enter your name and email\, and the meeting information will be emailed to you.

SUMMARY:Spirit and the Movies February 23rd
DESCRIPTION: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\nSponsored by The Interfaith Center\, Process and Faith\, and Spirituality & Practice \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign up on Zoom

SUMMARY:Interfaith Screening: “Mission: Joy” | University of La Verne
DESCRIPTION:Join our partner in process\, the University of La Verne\, for a film screening and interfaith panel discussion of Mission: Joy – Finding Happiness in Troubled Times on Tuesday\, February 22 at 6:30pm. \n\n\n\nThe event is offered in-person at the Ludwick Center Sacred Space and virtually. For virtual information\, please register below. We will watch the film together (1.5 hours) followed by a 45-minute discussion led by a panel of interfaith leaders from our community. To join virtually\, please register here. \n\n\n\nMission: Joy is a profound and jubilant exploration of the remarkable friendship between Archbishop Desmond Tutu and His Holiness the Dalai Lama\, two individuals who have endured great hardships and who have carried the burden as world leaders dedicated to bringing justice to and fighting authoritarianism in their communities. Their greatest defiance of all\, however\, appears to be their ability to maintain a mischievous and playful spirit in the face of their circumstances. \n\n\n\nCovid Protocols: All person’s attending in-person must complete a Daily Health Check before entering the University.  On the day of the event\, please go to this this link to complete the Daily health Check.  After completing the form\, you will receive an email with your health check results.  You will be required to show the results (showing a green check-mark) upon entering.  You can either print out your results and bring a paper copy or show your email confirmation on your phone. \n\n\n\nThe event is sponsored by a coalition of interfaith groups in the La Verne community: The Office of Religious and Spiritual Life at the University of La Verne\, Claremont Interfaith Council\, Upland Interfaith Council\, and the Inland Valley Interfaith Working Group for Middle East Peace. \n\n\n\nWe hope you will join us in person or virtually! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister on Zoom
