This learning circle focuses on the exploring, sharing, and practice of Christian process-relational theology, as relevant to all age groups: children, teenagers, adults, senior citizens. We meet monthly to discuss process-relational ideas and practices in local settings like churches, religious education, hospitals, and recovery groups. Together we explore how to share those ideas, as well as how to embody their wisdom in daily life situations. This is co-sponsored by the P&F Christian Path Group.

Toward A More Expansive Process Theology

It is sometimes assumed that advocates of open and relational theology must reject the idea that God creates the world out of nothing (creatio ex nihilo). Certainly, many open and relational theologians, especially those influenced by process thought, do take this stance. Their objection lies in the association of creatio ex nihilo with a vision of divine power as unilateral—implying that God can act without any responsiveness from worldly creatures. This, they argue, is both metaphysically problematic and existentially harmful. Instead, they advocate for amipotence, the power of divine love and relationality, rather than omnipotence.
Yet theologian Lina Langby invites us to imagine a more expansive form of open and relational theology—one that makes room for those who find meaning in the idea of creation out of nothing. What might this mean metaphysically? John Cobb, a process theologian who rejects creatio ex nihilo, nonetheless offers a possible direction: “Was God’s act in the Big Bang radically different from God’s act in the initiation of every subsequent event? We don’t know, but we cannot exclude that possibility. Whitehead speaks of one divine decision untrammeled by the influence of any other decision. This decision he calls primordial, which means nontemporal. Today it may be that we will need to associate it quite directly with a datable event. That would seem to bring us closer to the tradition.”
If we can imagine an open and relational—or even process—perspective that remains open to the idea of creation out of nothing, the key question becomes: Could such a perspective interpret creation out of nothing as an act of amipotent love rather than dominating power? Might creatio ex nihilo be reimagined, not as a display of unilateral control, but as the first expression of a divine relationality that honors the freedom and value of all that follows?
These are the kinds of questions that Lina Langby and Jay McDaniel will explore in this Pop-Up conversation.

“I am arguing for the coherence between conceiving God as essentially loving and as necessarily and only expressing love-power, in other words, amipotence, and the possibility that God created the world ex nihilo. I maintain that God coherently can be conceived as essentially loving and relational even if God created ex nihilo.”

A Discussion Group About the Exploring, Sharing, and Practice of Buddhist Process-Relational Thought

At face value, the Buddha’s Dharma and Whitehead’s Process Philosophy seem to characterize reality in very different ways, and for different reasons. The Buddha taught that reality as we typically experience it is an impermanent, selfless and dissatisfying process of cyclic becoming continuously powered by compulsive attachment and aversion grounded in delusion. The Buddha prescribed various methods we could deploy in order to go beyond this painful and immiserated condition, methods which involve thorough analysis and deconstruction of our habituated and self-limiting assumptions about ourselves and the world as well as means of cultivating more purified states of awareness and embodiment so that we can awaken to the way things really are and unleash our core potential.
Whitehead elaborated a systematic philosophical scheme, replete with foundational metaphysical categories, that reconstructs reality as a cumulative process of concrescence whereby many diverse feelings creatively synthesize into a novel experience, aiming towards satisfaction and lured to completion through divine persuasion. For Whitehead, many of the issues in philosophy and society at large could be traced to various fallacious conceptions concerning nature, language, and experience which he sought to rectify with his panexperiential, process-relational Philosophy of Organism.

Process Pop-Up: Wild Church: Communal Practices to Reconnect Spirituality and Nature
2025-08-07 17:00 - 18:00 | Live Zoom Sessions
RSVP Now
In this experiential webinar, author, wild church pastor, and eco-spiritual guide Victoria Loorz invites participants into a sacred remembering: that we belong to a living, speaking world—and that spirituality is not an escape from Earth, but a return to it. Drawing from the relational theology of her book Church of the Wild and her leadership within the Seminary of the Wild and Wild Church Network, Victoria will offer an introduction to communal practices that dissolve the false divide between the sacred and the natural.
Grounded in process theology’s vision of an evolving, inter-relational cosmos, this hour will include stories, teachings, and practical invitations to rewild spirituality in relationship with place, community, and the Holy Presence at the heart of creation. Participants will be guided through a taste of Terra Divina, a contemplative practice of listening to Earth as sacred text, and reflect on how communal ritual can support a theology of mutual becoming.
This gathering is for anyone curious about how spiritual community can root itself in the wild, relational processes of life, and how spiritual leadership might emerge not just from pulpits, but from trees, rivers, grief, wonder, and belonging.

“Beyond caring for creation or stewarding Earth’s ‘resources,’ what we need is to invest in actual relationships with particular places and beings of the living world. Only a restored intimacy can provide the embodied, rooted foundation for transformation. The global shift necessary to actually survive the crises we’ve created depends on a deep inner change. It depends on our remembering how to fall in love.“

Process Pop-Up: Islamic Feminism and Process Theology
2025-08-21 17:00 - 18:00 | Live Zoom Sessions
RSVP Now
How might process theology contribute to gender justice in Islamic feminist theology?

“By challenging classical theistic notions of omnipotence, immutability, and dualistic thinking, process thought provides a theological basis for critiquing interpretations of Islamic texts that have been used to justify gender hierarchy and inequality.“
Adis Duderija, PhD

By emphasising a dynamic, interconnected, and responsive God, process theology offers a fertile framework that challenges traditional hierarchical views of divine-human relationships and gender dynamics found in mainstream Islamic theology that have strong patriarchal tendencies.
In this event, Dr. Adis Duderija will explore how integrating process thought into Islamic feminism can provide fresh perspectives on key Islamic theological concepts that can further fortify the key ideas of Islamic feminist theology.
Dr. Duderija aims to develop more gender egalitarian understandings of divine-human relationships, gender dynamics, and religious authority in Islamic theology, potentially expanding the metaphysical and theological foundations of Islamic feminism and Islamic feminist theology and opening new avenues for dialogue.

Process Pop-Up: Psychedelics, Religion, and Transformation

“Institutional religion has a lot to learn from psychedelics… And the psychedelic community has a lot to learn from organized religion.“
Hunt Priest, quoted in “This is Your Priest on Drugs” by Michael Pollan in The New Yorker, May 26, 2025

Ligare: A Christian Psychedelic Society works at the intersection of psychedelics, religion, and transformation, taking seriously the notion that reality is relational, dynamic, and open to novelty. Psychedelic experiences often bring a heightened sense of interconnectedness and becoming. In this light, psychedelics are not merely therapeutic but serve as catalysts for deeper awareness of God’s lure toward beauty and harmony.
Psychedelic experience can offer an invitation to partner with God in the regeneration of self and community. Such experiences often dissolve rigid ego-boundaries, opening participants to new integrations and fresh possibilities. When supported by community and theological reflection, psychedelics attune individuals to the divine order and greater wholeness.
Ligare understands Christianity as being supple, innovative, and life-affirming rather than static. By weaving contemplative traditions with psychedelic insight, Ligare help show Christian faith as an unfolding process of becoming more fully attuned to God’s aim.

About the Speaker

Hunt Priest

Hunt Priest, MDiv, based in Savannah, Georgia, is a former Episcopal priest and the founder of Ligare: A Christian Psychedelic Society. After two decades of pastoral ministry and a pivotal experience in a Johns Hopkins psilocybin clergy study in 2016, Priest is a leading proponent of integrating psychedelics and Christian spiritual care. In August, he was removed from ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church due to concerns about his public advocacy regarding psychedelics. Despite the change in his ordination status, Hunt continues to lead Ligare and encourages church leaders to find their ministry at the intersection of Christian faith and practice and psychedelic exploration.

Process Pop-Up: A Brief History of God: From Nature Spirits to Cosmic Consciousness
2025-11-05 17:00 - 18:00 | Live Zoom Sessions
RSVP Now

Join us for an enlightening evening with author Nish Dubashia and special co-presenter Marie Murtagh as they offer powerful insights from A Brief History of God: From Nature Spirits to Cosmic Consciousness. This thought-provoking event will trace the sweeping evolution of human spirituality—from ancient tribal reverence for nature spirits to an emerging vision of unified cosmic consciousness.
Drawing from history, philosophy, psychology, science, and lived experience, Nish and Marie will explore how our collective understanding of God and self has transformed through cultural shifts, scientific discoveries, and the timeless human search for meaning. Their co-presentation weaves together scholarly depth with lived insight, inviting a deeper engagement with spirituality not as doctrine, but as an evolving and integrative human experience.
In this unique presentation, Marie will offer complementary reflections and practical grounding to Nish’s philosophical framework—adding nuance, resonance, and a relational dimension to the inquiry. Together, they create space for personal reflection and collective exploration of what it means to live spiritually in a rapidly changing world.
Whether you’re a seeker, skeptic, or simply curious about the deep undercurrents of belief that have shaped humanity, this event is a rare opportunity to engage with a rich and inclusive perspective on spiritual evolution.
The talk will be followed by a live Q&A session, encouraging thoughtful dialogue, shared reflections, and authentic inquiry.

“Spirituality is not a relic from the past; it is as vibrant and necessary as the world we live in. It is rooted in the universal longing for meaning in the face of suffering, connection in times of isolation, and transcendence over our finite human experience. Just as our scientific understanding of the world has evolved from superstition to discovery, our relationship with the divine has undergone a parallel metamorphosis.
In the end, the eternal dance of self and Spirit is a reminder that spirituality is not about finding all the answers but about embracing the questions—not about arriving at a final destination but about the journey itself. It invites us to see life as a sacred unfolding, a dance where each step, each movement, brings us closer to the heart of existence. As we step into the future, let us do so with gratitude for the wisdom of the past, faith in the promise of the future, and reverence for the eternal mystery that calls us to dance.“

Process Pop-Up: Eco-Psychology, Plant Medicine, and the Sacred Earth
2025-11-18 17:00 - 18:00 | Live Zoom Sessions
RSVP Now

In this exploratory webinar, author, educator and aspiring therapist Travis Cox will invite participants into the project that he and his colleagues are calling “Ecopsychedelics” which is a portmanteau of the words “ecopsychology” and “psychedelics”. Travis will first introduce the discipline of ecopsychology and then give some background into the particulars of the “ecopsychedelic” project, including some insights he gained from teaching the first ever class on Ecopsychedelics last spring.
During the webinar, Travis will invite a dialogue into what he feels is one of the most important aspects of the psychedelic experience in general, which is certainly central to his personal conception of ecopsychedelics: the implicit or explicit invocation of worldviews. For Travis, this invocation is two-fold: first is the fact that, for many if not most people, the scientific materialist paradigm can come into question during a psychedelic experience; second is the open-question as to whether or not the “psychedelic experience” itself has a worldview.
This collaborative inquiry will eventually lead to a discussion of process thought, especially as it relates to a more “modern” understanding of animism. This workshop is for those who are interested in the intersections of ecopsychology, plant medicines, and ecospirituality.

“I feel that our materialist-technological society, with its fragmented world-view, has largely lost its way, and can ill afford to ignore any potential aids to great knowledge of the human mind … The individual seeks a vision to understand his or her place, or destiny, as a member of the community. The knowledge derived from expanded states of consciousness has been, can be, and needs to be applied to the solution of the staggering problems that confront our species.“
Ralph Metzner, psychologist and psychedelic researcher with Timothy Leary at Harvard University in the 1960s

Readings 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. The only prerequisite needed for this group is a desire to learn more about the world’s religious traditions.
Our next book for my learning circle is When Christians Were Jews, The First Generation by Paula Fredriksen. Fredriksen, a long time professor of scripture at Boston University, presents a deep yet accessible study of the first generation of “Christians.” She demonstrates how a group of charismatic, apocalyptic Jewish missionaries, preparing their world for the realization of God’s promises for Israel, end up inaugurating a movement that would grow into the gentile church.

In his newest book, The Death of Supernaturalism: The Case for Process Naturalism, Chad Bahl offers a bold theological manifesto that critiques the metaphysical assumptions of supernatural theism. He demonstrates the incompatibility between the supernaturalistic worldview and the scientific worldview, and maintains that supernaturalism perpetuates rather than solves the problems of theodicy and divine hiddenness.
As a solution, Bahl argues for a process naturalist view of God—one which sees God as relational, persuasive and embedded within the natural world. Bahl is an emerging voice in the process theology community. In this Process Pop-Up, we’ll explore the core ideas in this text.
