SUMMARY:Reading on Faiths: Mysticism
DESCRIPTION:A Book Group Exploring the Diversity of Religion \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. The only prerequisite needed for this group is a desire to learn more about the world’s religious traditions. \nOur next book for my learning circle is Mysticism by Simon Critchley. The book is full of pictures\, paintings and more\, depicting mysticism in its varied aspects. Critchley introduces the reader to mystics beginning with Dionysius (circa 500) through modern mystics like T.S. Eliot and Annie Dillard\, while discussing Julian of Norwich and Meister Eckart along the way. He provides his definition and that of others of mysticism and discusses a variety of examples.   \n\nLEARN MORE & ENROLL

SUMMARY:Buddhist Process Explorations
DESCRIPTION:A Discussion Group About the Exploring\, Sharing\, and Practice of Buddhist Process-Relational Thought \n\n\n\nAt 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. \nWhitehead 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. \n  \nLEARN MORE & ENROLL

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Evolution in Divine Love
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Now\n  \nWhat if love is not just a feeling—but the very force that drives all of existence?\n  \nIn his newest book\, Evolution in Divine Love: The Eternal Becoming of God\, Soul\, and Matter\, Gaudiya Vaishnava monk and spiritual teacher Swami Padmanabha offers a visionary and poetic exploration of love as the dynamic power at the heart of the Divine\, soul\, and matter. Drawing from Hindu Devotional Vedanta\, psychology\, modern science\, and mystical insights from multiple traditions\, he reimagines the spiritual journey as a process of ever-deepening relationship—with the Divine\, with the world\, and with our evolving selves. \nFar from portraying divinity as distant or static\, Swami Padmanabha encourages us to see Ultimate Reality as both changeless and ever-new\, infinite and intimate\, perfect and perpetually becoming—animated by the same love that pulses through every corner of creation. Through this lens\, he invites us to view reality not as a closed system\, but as a living\, breathing process of growth\, beauty\, and co-creative transformation. \n  \n\n\nIn this Process Pop-Up\, Swami Padmanabha will discuss the ideas in Evolution in Divine Love. Whether you’re a spiritual seeker\, interfaith explorer\, psychologist\, theologian\, or simply someone yearning to live from a deeper source\, he offers a radical invitation: to see the cosmos—and yourself—as an ever-unfolding love story. \n\n“In love\, we never have the final say\, for love is an open word—a letter that is continuously being written\, forever in motion. True love\, within its sacred dance\, never comes to a halt. The moment love ceases to move\, it ceases to be love.” \nSwami Padmanabha\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n  \nSwami Padmanabha\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt an early age\, Swami Padmanabha delved deeply into the theology of diverse mystical traditions. After taking up Gaudiya Vaishnavism in 1999 at the age of 19\, he has dedicated himself to an extensive study of the Gaudiya scriptures under the guidance of his various mentors. Fluent in English and Spanish\, Swami has written hundreds of articles in both languages\, with his first two books published in English and in the process of being translated to other languages. For the past twenty years\, he has traveled around the world and lectured in universities\, ashrams\, and yoga studios. All of his numerous talks and seminars are available online for free at swamipadmanabha.com. As a leader of spiritual retreats and communities\, he inspires both practitioners and visitors with his penetrating teachings and personal example. \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\nDisclaimer: This event is open to the public and will be recorded.
