Process Explorations: Sheri Kling
April 1 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm PDT
Series: Responding to a Fractured World: Re-think, Re-act, Re-create
Topic: Healing our Collective Pain: Whitehead, Jung, and Transformation
Presenter(s): Sheri Kling, Director of Process and Faith
Can we understand both cosmos and psyche in a way that promotes integration rather than fragmentation? Our present societal landscape, particularly in the West and the United States, is marked by fragmentation and division across multiple dimensions. Societally, there is significant polarization. Interpersonally, many individuals face growing loneliness and isolation. Intrapersonally, there is a surge in antidepressant use and a clear link between early adverse experiences and adult challenges. This highlights a deep-rooted crisis in how individuals perceive their existence and connections with others.
To heal our fragmentation, we must seek an understanding of both the cosmos and the psyche that unifies rather than divides. In this talk, Sheri D. Kling, Ph.D., will offer Whitehead and Jung as integrating resources that reveal a Reality that shows us that we matter, we belong, and we can experience positive change.
