SUMMARY:Process & World-Building in Dune Messiah
DESCRIPTION:Through the intersections of environment\, religion\, self identity\, and government\, participants in this learning circle will explore themes of environment\, terrain\, and traveling through the religious life. \n\n\n\nOur reading of Dune Messiah will consider process themes found in Whitehead’s Process and Reality\, while engaging with care to not overlay process theology on Herbert’s work. Rather\, the conversation series will consider elements of Herbert’s world-building that are shared with Whitehead’s philosophy of organism. In the consideration\, careful attention will be paid to the impediments to process principles in the establishment of institutions of any type. \n\n\n\nSome experience with Whitehead’s philosophy is preferred but not required. Dune Messiah will be read over four weeks\, with excerpts from Whitehead coupled with each reading. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEARN MORE & ENROLL

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: New Streams: Finding Faith Online
DESCRIPTION:Where do you find inspiration? In a house of worship? Or do you find your faith is fed more these days through online media? \n\n\n\nIn those halcyon days before Covid\, most people never heard of podcasts\, and almost no one listened to two to three hour conversations on YouTube\, Apple\, or Spotify. But the pandemic threw all of us into online spaces we didn’t even know existed. Podcasting is big news. \n\n\n\nAccording to Nancy Marshall (also known as The PR Maven) in an article for Forbes magazine\, “Nowhere is the podcast more popular than in the United States\, which lays claim to the most podcast listeners in the world (over 100 million). The growth in recent years has been astounding. Nearly 80% of Americans over the age of 12 are now aware of podcasts—up more than 30% from a decade ago. Even in 2015\, only a minority of Americans considered listening to podcasts in their day-to-day lives. So much has changed in less than a decade.” \n\n\n\nSome of those podcasts and online experiences are now devoted to explorations around faith and spirituality. In the progressive space\, podcasts like Homebrewed Christianity\, (Re)Thinking Faith\, Brew Theology\, War Machine\, Hunger for Wholeness\, several from Richard Rohr’s Center for Action and Contemplation\, and others are gaining new listeners every day.  \n\n\n\nOf course\, churches had to respond to the fact that their doors were closed too\, and worship streaming became the new norm\, with varying degrees of success. But some organizations found a way to deliver high quality worship experiences via Zoom\, Facebook\, and YouTube. \n\n\n\nThis event will gather a panel of speakers who have been using new media to talk about and experience faith online. We’ll find out how this has impacted them and their listeners as we open our minds to new ways of being faithful. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat and receive the Zoom information\, click the Going button and enter your name and email. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt Baker\, War Machine\n\n\n\nMatthew hosts War Machine\, a podcast for theological nomads at the intersection of radical theology\, philosophy\, and western esotericism. He previously produced The Catacombic Machine\, and Interrupted\, the official podcast of the Westar Institute. Matthew is also a musician\, professional graphic\, sound\, and instructional designer\, and currently working as Organizational Change Management Lead for Veolia North America. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKate Eaton\, Mishkhah\n\n\n\nMishkhah was founded in January 2010 by Kate Eaton to reveal the mystery of Christ by stirring the senses and opening the heart. Through careful integration of music\, images\, textures\, found objects\, light\, movement and prayer\, we are invited to rediscover the landscape of our souls as we encounter the Holy. Kate brings her experience in directing the arts and music for the first 20 seasons of the Wilderness\, a Sunday night service at Saint John’s Cathedral in Denver\, CO. Since 2007\, the Wilderness has drawn hundreds of new worshipers and regularly gathers a congregation of 100+. Since founding Mishkhah\, Kate has partnered with churches\, conventions\, conferences and a seminary to share her experience in creating worship environments. Her passion lies in returning to the rhythm of the liturgy and to spiritual practices that have shaped people’s lives over centuries.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobert Nicastro\, Hunger for Wholeness\n\n\n\nRobert Nicastro is a Ph.D. candidate in the Theology and Religious Studies program at Villanova University. He is also the producer of the Hunger for Wholeness podcast for the Center for Christogenesis. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Gannon University in Erie\, Pennsylvania\, and a Master of Arts in Theology from Saint Mary’s Seminary and University in Baltimore\, Maryland. His research focuses on the interrelationship of cosmology\, theology\, and philosophy\, and the implications of a coherent metaphysical worldview for addressing issues of social and enhancement technologies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJosh Patterson\, (Re)Thinking Faith\n\n\n\nJoshua Patterson is the founder and host of the (Re)thinking Faith Podcast. He is a former pastor turned professional brewer with a deep love for theology and philosophy. Josh is a Process-Relational thinker who also finds deep resonances with the mystics. On his good days\, Josh likes to describe himself as a Podcaster\, Theologian\, Philosopher\, and Mystic. Josh is a published author with continued aspirations to write and speak about the beautiful world of Open and Relational Theology. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanel Apps Ramsey\, Brew Theology\n\n\n\nRev. Janel Apps Ramsey (MA)\, is an Interfaith Leader living in Denver\, CO. She is Co-Director of Brew Theology\, an interfaith organization that helps create communities of conversation\, and hosts a podcast of the same name. She is also a community organizer working on Climate Justice in an interfaith setting.

SUMMARY:Poetry for the Journey: Creating a Spiritual Space for People of All Paths
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to present the spring 2024 session of Interfaith Explorations. Hosted by Bethlehem Centre in collaborative partnership with the Interfaith Center of Arkansas\, the Cobb Institute and Process & Faith\, “Poetry for the Journey” is a six week online series that will provide an inclusive environment for individuals from different religious traditions and spiritual independents to come together to share and discuss poetry. \n\n\n\nThe group’s primary focus is on “spiritual poetry”\, a term inspired by Jane Hirshfield\, an acclaimed poet\, essayist\, and translator with ten collections of poetry. On the Poetry Foundation’s website\, Hirshfield shares 22 spiritual poems that delve into themes such as permeability\, embracing life with a resounding ‘Yes\,’ abundance\, longing\, spiritual dialogue\, love\, vibration\, and meditation. These are the kinds of themes we will explore during the class sessions. \n\n\n\nThe selected poems will be ancient\, classical\, and contemporary works from diverse cultures and faith backgrounds. They will be presented in English to ensure accessibility for participants. The poems will serve as launching pads for reflection and discussion\, allowing participants to contemplate on various aspects of everyday life\, historical moments\, and philosophical ideas. \n\n\n\nThe interfaith exploration series will be held on Wednesdays\, with a guided exploration of three poems during each session. The three poems for each week will be distributed before the class so that participants can read them in advance if they wish. \n\n\n\nExperienced facilitators of poetry explorations will lead each of these sessions. Zoom details will be sent to register participants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More & Register
