SUMMARY:Process Explorations: Sheri Kling
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nSeries: Responding to a Fractured World: Re-think\, Re-act\, Re-create \nTopic: Healing our Collective Pain: Whitehead\, Jung\, and Transformation \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Sheri Kling\, Director of Process and Faith \n\n\n\nCan 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. \nTo 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. \n\nAbout the Presenter(s)\n\n\n\n\n\nSheri D. Kling\, Ph.D. is the director of Process & Faith with the Center for Process Studies and interim minister of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Bradenton\, FL. Sheri earned her Ph.D. in Religion: Process Studies from Claremont School of Theology and her MATS from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. She is a theologian\, songwriter\, and spiritual teacher who draws from wisdom and mystical traditions\, relational worldviews\, depth psychology\, and the intersection of spirituality and science to help people find meaning\, belonging\, and transformation. Sheri is a faculty member of the Haden Institute\, adjunct faculty with Claremont School of Theology\, and the author of A Process Spirituality: Christian and Transreligious Resources for Transformation as well as a contributor to several other books.

SUMMARY:Process Explorations: Jared Morningstar
DESCRIPTION:Topic: The Practice\, Spirituality\, and History of Ramadan \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Jared Morningstar \n\n\n\nIn this session of Process Explorations\, Jared Morningstar will introduce the Islamic holiday of Ramadan. Jared will share his own experiences of the spiritual and physical practices central to this holiday\, dwelling on the ways that this month of fasting offers opportunities for connecting more deeply with Muslim community\, the natural world\, and the Divine. He will also share the origins and the history of Ramadan\, drawing connections with other religious communities and practices. \n\n\n\nRather than just introducing the basic features of this central Islamic practice\, Jared will draw connections between aspects of Ramadan and central values and themes present in process thought. Through presenting Ramadan from both personal and academic perspectives\, Jared hopes to share insights and make connections that may be taken up by Muslims and non-Muslims alike and carried forward long after Ramadan 2025 has concluded. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter(s) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJared is an independent scholar living in Madison\, Wisconsin with academic interests in philosophy of religion\, Islamic studies\, comparative religion\, metamodern spirituality\, and interfaith dialogue. His work in these areas seeks to offer robust responses to issues of inter-religious conflict\, contemporary nihilism\, and the “meaning crisis\,” among other things. Jared graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in 2018 with degrees in religion and Scandinavian studies and currently works for the Center for Process Studies\, the Cobb Institute\, and the Psychedelic Medicine Association. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo receive the Zoom info for this gathering\, click the Going button and enter your name and email. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you experience any difficulty with the RSVP\, please send an email to events@cobb.institute.

SUMMARY:Process Explorations: Kathleen Wakefield
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Songs “Planted in Clay” \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Kathleen Wakefield \n\n\n\nIn this session of Process Explorations\, Kathleen Wakefield shares her creative\, trans-disciplinary thinking in a program that promises to be evocative for poets and artists\, activists and philosophers alike. She will present “Songs ‘Planted in Clay\,’” a plea for the liberating and healing power of Whiteheadian metaphysics and poetry. This theme was her Springboard Project for the 2024 Certificate Program in Process Studies.Kathleen explores how the process of writing exemplifies Whitehead’s theory of prehensions and how poetry as an art form evoking the thickness of experience “embodies a protest against the ‘bifurcation’ of nature.” (PR 289) Poetry is gradually recognized as a form of earth speech\, aligning with Whitehead’s notion of a work of art as “a fragment of nature.” In the light of Process Thinking\, a family trauma is excavated through family letters which provide new lures for healing\, transformation\, and poetic expression. \n\n\n\nKathleen A. Wakefield is the author of two books of poetry\, Notations on the Visible World (Anhinga Press\, 2000)\, winner of the Anhinga Prize for Poetry\, and Grip\, Give and Sway  (Silver Birch Press\, 2016). She holds degrees from Mount Holyoke College (Chemistry) and the University of Michigan (History of Art). She  taught creative writing at the Eastman School of Music and the University of Rochester\, worked as a poet-in-the-schools\, and shares poetry through public libraries. Her work has appeared in numerous journals\, including the Alaska Quarterly Review\, Christian Century\, Georgia Review\, Poetry\, Sewanee Review\, and Visions International\, with work forthcoming in Half-Mystic and Amethyst Review. She serves on the leadership committee of the Cobb Institute Certificate Program. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo receive the Zoom info for this gathering\, click the Going button and enter your name and email. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you experience any difficulty with the RSVP\, please send an email to events@cobb.institute.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: From Amipotence to All-Encompassing Mercy: Integrating Oord’s Theology of Love into the Islamic Tradition
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, Adis Duderija\, a scholar of Islamic theology\, will explore his agreement with Thomas Jay Oord’s critique of classical theistic omnipotence and his compelling concept of amipotence.  \n\n\n\nDrawing from Oord’s work as well as his own scholarship\, Dr. Duderija will guide participants through the theological landscape\, examining both the obstacles and opportunities for integrating amipotence within the Islamic interpretive tradition. We’ll delve into how we can reframe our understanding of the Qur’an and its portrayal of God’s mercy\, emphasizing that divine love and mercy are not just attributes but the essence of God’s nature.  \n\n\n\nExpect to engage in thought-provoking discussions about the implications for human flourishing and well-being within our faith traditions. \n\n\n\nTopics include: \n\n\n\n\nHuman Flourishing and Well-Being: Analysis of how the concept of amipotence relates to human well-being and the challenges of defining and applying these concepts in various contexts.\n\n\n\nCritique of Classical Theism: Examination of Oord’s critique of traditional concepts of omnipotence and the introduction of amipotence.\n\n\n\nIntegration into Islamic Tradition: Exploration of theological obstacles and opportunities for incorporating amipotence within the Islamic interpretive framework.\n\n\n\nUnderstanding Divine Attributes: Discussion on the Qur’an’s portrayal of God’s attributes\, particularly focusing on mercy (Ar-Rahman) and its implications for divine love.\n\n\n\n\nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Sheri Kling
DESCRIPTION:Topic: A Season of Darkness and Light \n\n\n\nPresenters: Sheri D. Kling \n\n\n\nCosmologically\, this period of late fall marks the increase in hours of darkness until the winter solstice when the hours of light begin to make a return. Many religions have major holidays during this period. For some\, the period of darkness is not feared but is celebrated as a time of rest and renewal or of waiting in a kind of pregnant pause. Most celebrate the increase in light and see this turning of the season as the welcome return of the energies of rebirth and growth. \n\n\n\nIn this Cobb & Friends gathering\, Dr. Sheri Kling\, director of Process & Faith\, will introduce some of the major holidays in late fall and early winter\, noting their significance in each tradition. We’ll look at Diwali\, Advent\, Hanukkah\, St. Lucia Day\, Winter Solstice\, Christmas\, Epiphany\, Kwanzaa\, New Year’s Eve\, and Lunar New Year. \n\n\n\nSheri D. Kling\, Ph.D.\, is the director of Process & Faith with the Center for Process Studies and interim minister of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Bradenton\, FL.  Sheri earned her Ph.D. in Religion: Process Studies from Claremont School of Theology. She is a theologian\, songwriter\, and spiritual mentor\, as well as a faculty member of the Haden Institute\, adjunct faculty with Claremont School of Theology\, and the author of A Process Spirituality: Christian and Transreligious Resources for Transformation. She regularly delivers dynamic “Music & Message” presentations to groups\, and offers courses\, concerts\, and spiritual retreats. She may be found online at sherikling.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo receive the Zoom info for this gathering\, click the Going button and enter your name and email. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you experience any difficulty with the RSVP\, please send an email to events@cobb.institute.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Jo Paz Dominguez
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Make Turtle Island Indigenous Again: Regenerating Land\, Identity\, and Community \n\n\n\nPresenters: Jo Paz Dominguez \n\n\n\nJo Paz (he/they) is an Indigenous community advocate\, organizer\, and trauma informed facilitator whose work is rooted in the belief that healing—both personal and collective—is a journey of interconnectedness. Guided by decolonial and regenerative principles\, Jo emphasizes relational well-being\, racial equity\, and hyperlocal\, place-based strategies that honor the wisdom of the land and community self-determination. \n\n\n\nJo summarizes the conversation they’ll have with Cobb and Friends this way:  \n\n\n\n\nWhat if the way forward is not forward at all\, but a turning back to the land\, to the stories it whispers\, and to the cracks in the systems that hold us captive? In this workshop\, we will lean into the wisdom of the Peoplehood Matrix and decolonial placekeeping\, unraveling how the entanglements of land\, language\, history\, and ceremony shape who we are and who we might yet become. This is not about fixing a broken world\, but about befriending its brokenness with compassion\, nurturing the soil of community\, and listening deeply to ancestral wisdom. Together\, we will name and weave our collective care\, dreaming strategies for liberation that honor the land\, disrupt the systems we inhabit\, and welcome the impossible. What does it mean to truly belong\, to truly thrive? Let’s ask the land—and each other. \n\n\n\n\nHere are a few links showcasing Jo’s engagement in community building in the Los Angeles area.  \n\n\n\n\nMeet the Outreach Workers Working to End Homelessness\n\n\n\nProtesters call on Garcetti to find shelter for 1\,000 homeless women\n\n\n\nEveryone In – Meet Elyse and Joseph\n\n\n\nL.A.’s homeless agency faces calls to dissolve ties with police\n\n\n\nOur Land\, Our Voice\n\n\n\nFirst Residential Community Land Trust Project in East Los Angeles\n\n\n\nCrenshaw Mall Redevelopment Plan Health Impact Assessment\n\n\n\nGreen Pets Program – Caring for Mother Earth\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo receive the Zoom info for this gathering\, click the Going button and enter your name and email. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you experience any difficulty with the RSVP\, please send an email to events@cobb.institute.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: David Rosen\, Osman Örs\, and Sheri Kling
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Relational Abrahamic Faiths \n\n\n\nPresenters: David Rosen\, Osman Örs\, and Sheri D. Kling\, PhD \n\n\n\nSeveral locations around the world have taken concrete steps toward interreligious understanding and relationship by creating communities of faith that house all three Abrahamic traditions: Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam. The House of One in Berlin\, Germany and the Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi are two such communities. Each has its own unique way of approaching its mission. \n\n\n\nSeeking to learn more\, Sheri Kling\, director of Process & Faith\, reached out to invite a representative from each community to join her in this presentation to the Cobb & Friends gathering. Rabbi David Rosen and Imam Osman Örs readily agreed. They’ll share highlights and images from their communities and discuss the joys and challenges they’ve experienced. Dr. Kling will facilitate the conversation. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nDavid Rosen serves as Special Interfaith Advisor to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi. Rosen has been advancing understanding and good relations between religious communities for more than forty years – from the time he served as rabbi of the largest Orthodox Jewish congregation in South Africa\, during his tenure as Chief Rabbi of Ireland; and throughout the last more than thirty years based in Jerusalem. In addition to interreligious representation and education\, his work involves mediation and peace building and he is heavily involved in multi-religious engagement on ecological issues. Among the various awards and recognition he has received\, Rabbi Rosen was granted a papal Knighthood in 2005 for his contribution to Jewish-Catholic reconciliation and in 2010 he was made a CBE (Commander of the British Empire) by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II for his work promoting interfaith understanding and cooperation. \n\n\n\nOsman Örs holds a Masters Degree (M.A.) in Islamic Sciences\, Education\, and Anglistics from George-August University in Göttingen\, Germany. Since 2015\, he has worked as a theological advisor and imam at the House of One Foundation in Berlin. He also collaborates with Demokratie Leben in combating antisemitism and racism\, conducts educational workshops\, and addresses theological and liturgical aspects of interreligious unity at the House of One. In addition to his work at the House of One\, Osman Örs is involved in various community roles. He has been a member of the coordinating committee of the Berlin Forum of Religions since 2016 and is a charter member of the Council of Imams of Berlin since 2021. Osman Örs is committed to fostering interfaith dialogue and combating discrimination in Berlin’s religious communities. \n\n\n\nSheri D. Kling\, Ph.D.\, is the director of Process & Faith with the Center for Process Studies and interim minister of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Bradenton\, FL.  Sheri earned her Ph.D. in Religion: Process Studies from Claremont School of Theology. She is a theologian\, songwriter\, and spiritual mentor\, as well as a faculty member of the Haden Institute\, adjunct faculty with Claremont School of Theology\, and the author of A Process Spirituality: Christian and Transreligious Resources for Transformation.

SUMMARY:Learning Circle: Labor & Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Reading and Reflecting on A. F. Pomeroy’s Integrative Perspective on Marx and Whitehead\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis 9-week learning circle provides a discussion-based study of Anne Fairchild Pomeroy’s text Marx and Whitehead\, which systematically links Whitehead’s process-relational philosophy to Marx’s dialectical critique of political economy\, identifying deep resonances between the two in order to develop a pathway for the vital integration of these two great thinkers into a more comprehensive perspective. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind Out More
