SUMMARY:Process Thought & World Religions
DESCRIPTION:Introducing World Religions through a Process-Relational Lens\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe live in a world marked by great diversity\, and if humans are to live peaceably together\, we must seek to understand each other. In this course\, participants will explore various world religions\, as well as indigenous/traditional ways of thinking and living\, through a lens of process and relational thought. Over the course of six sessions\, we will discuss Christianity\, Judaism\, Islam\, Hinduism\, Buddhism\, and Indigenous/Traditional Ways. \n\n\n\nAs we approach each tradition\, we will seek to encounter its commitments and matters of ultimate concern alongside its primary practices\, exploring how it may be situated within process and relational metaphysics. Through this lens\, we might ask how each tradition fosters zest and enjoyment\, nourishes its adherents’ spiritual and ethical lives\, and knits communities together\, with an eye on each tradition’s view of the proper relationship between the transpersonal or sacred and humans\, as well as between humans and the earth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Richard Rose
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Building the Beloved Community \n\n\n\nPresenters: Richard Rose \n\n\n\nCobb Institute board member\, Dr. Richard Rose\, is Professor of Religion and Philosophy at the University of La Verne\, where he is also Coordinator of the Ecumenical Center for Black Church Studies.  He has developed a course on “Building the Beloved Community” that engages ULV students in practical experiences of community building\, enriched by readings from Robin Wall Kimmerer\, Mahatma Gandhi\, Howard Thurman\, and Martin Luther King\, Jr.  His current research examines global issues related to Interfaith dialogue and Religious Pluralism.  His teaching was recognized by a recent Life Worth Living Grant from the Yale Center of Faith and Culture.  This provided an opportunity for him to share that course with an International Ubuntu Festival in South Africa\, where he was able to bring Beloved Community in dialogue with the concept of Ubuntu.  This article in his hometown Claremont Courier celebrates that experience.  Dr. Rose says\, “I think we’re in a time right now where people need hope. People need to see something that allows them to say ‘Maybe there’s a chance that we can get out of the mess that we are in.’  Rose’s course offers “concrete examples of where things are actually working\, where people are actually getting along. . . . It doesn’t have to be so doomsday about the future. I think providing that kind of hope is good.” \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\nIf you would like to receive regular announcements and updates about activities and events at the Cobb Institute\, please join our list of Friends. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it to the live session?

SUMMARY:Course: 12 Universal Spiritual Principles to Freedom and Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:Dealing With Difficulties in a Healthy and Holistic Way\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the course of life\, most people experience serious challenges\, like death of a loved one\, conflict within marriage\, the loss of a job\, an addiction\, serious problems with a child\, loss of life purpose\, etc. When such challenges require help beyond one’s own resources\, the 12 spiritual principles covered in this course open the path to outside help which solves the challenge. This is the way to deal with the difficulties one faces in a healthy and holistic way. \n\n\n\nIn this six-session course\, Karl Y. will guide participants in a brief study of the twelve spiritual principles for solving any human personal problem and how the solution increases intimacy with oneself\, others\, and the power of help outside oneself. The twelve universal spiritual principles are generalized from the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. We will link these principles to the writing of Alfred North Whitehead in order to understand them in transreligious spiritual ways that are compatible with process-relational thought. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Mark VanderSchaaf
DESCRIPTION:Topic: A Path Towards Sustainability and Biodiversity in Metropolitan Los Angeles \n\n\n\nPresenters: Mark VanderSchaaf \n\n\n\nMark VanderSchaaf had a thirty-year career as an urban and regional planner in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metropolitan Area where he ultimately served as the regional planning director for that area’s seven-county Metropolitan Council from 2004 to 2016. In that role Mark also became a national leader in the field of public sector sustainability planning\, serving as the chair and immediate past chair for the Regional and Intergovernmental Planning Division of the American Planning Association (APA) upon retirement. More recently Mark has focused on sustainability planning issues in Metropolitan Los Angeles\, working pro bono with Pando Populus to help address sustainability priorities of the Chief Sustainability Officers Task Force of Los Angeles County\, and APA. That work culminated in April\, 2024 with the publication of a free e-book\, Sustainability Planning in Metropolitan Los Angeles: Products and Processes. In future years he will be focusing his work on biodiversity issues as a new appointee of the Biodiversity Expert Council of the City of Los Angeles. \n\n\n\nMark’s Cobb and Friends talk on May 28 will introduce national perspectives on urban and regional sustainability planning\, and how such planning is occurring throughout Metropolitan Los Angeles. It will especially consider how varying law and policy frameworks in the United States make it challenging to ensure that sustainability strategies in this country are well aligned with one another. He will emphasize similarities and differences between sustainability planning in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Area and Metropolitan Los Angeles as examples of such challenges. He will talk about how planning products and processes in Metropolitan Los Angeles may well serve as helpful models for the rest of the United States. Finally\, he will consider how and why biodiversity planning is poised to become a key focus of sustainability efforts in the future\, and how the City of Los Angeles’ biodiversity index is poised to engender a “best practice” strategy for biodiversity protection and enhancement as the impacts of climate change become increasingly severe. L.A.’s biodiversity work will have consequences not only regionally and nationally\, but throughout the world. \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\nIf you would like to receive regular announcements and updates about activities and events at the Cobb Institute\, please join our list of Friends. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it to the live session?

SUMMARY:Process Thought & Ecological Civilization 2024
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Crises and Possibilities for Ecological Justice and Wellbeing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course explores visions of ecological civilization\, drawing upon process-relational understandings of the cosmos; the history of ecological struggles and movements; and central ideas and practices that have emerged in philosophical\, scientific\, economic\, artistic\, religious\, and activist communities of reflection. The purpose is to gather and build upon practical wisdom that has power to transform the downward spiral of ecological destruction and to foster movements for protecting\, healing\, and regenerating our broken planet. The course is an invitation for participants to travel into the midst of crises and seek possibilities for ecological justice and wellbeing. \n\n\n\nOver the course of six sessions\, we will identify and analyze dominant assumptions about the human and more-than-human natural world\, critiquing and reshaping them from the standpoint of process-relational and other traditions of thought. We will explore these assumptions through case studies\, readings and videos\, presentations by experts\, student projects\, and probing conversations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:Seeing Nature Through a Process Lens
DESCRIPTION:A Learning Circle Exploring Nature Authors Guided by Process Thought\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this four-session learning circle we will read and discuss the writings of various nature authors\, such as Loren Eiseley\, Mary Oliver\, John Muir\, and others.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: George Strawn
DESCRIPTION:Topic: AI Today Means Machine Learning \n\n\n\nPresenters: George Strawn \n\n\n\nGeorge Strawn is a life-long professional computer scientist who also has a keen life-long interest in History\, Philosophy\, Religion\, Physics\, and Biology. As a former trustee of the Claremont School of Theology\, he counts it a privilege to know John Cobb\, and to have participated in the 2015 Claremont conference\, “Seizing an Alternative.” He says\, “After 80 years of development\, Machine Learning may have reached an ‘inflection point\,’ called Generative AI—that is\, rather than just finding cute cat pictures on the Web\, it can generate cute cat pictures from scratch. It can also generate articles\, computer programs\, and other artifacts that we thought only humans could create.” In Tuesday’s talk George Strawn will relate the history of this important development\, describe how complicated it is on the inside\, and how simple and powerful it is on the outside.  \n\n\n\nGeorge Strawn has been a life-long professional computer scientist. For 30 years he was on the faculty of Iowa State University’s Department of Computer Science\, where he was sometime department chair and director of the computer lab.  For another 30 years he served at the National Science Foundation\, assisted the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the White House\, and worked with the National Academy of Science. See this article about his Distinguished Service Award from ISU.  \n\n\n\nPrior to joining the Academies\, Strawn was the director of the National Coordination Office (NCO) for the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program and co-chair of the NITRD interagency committee. Strawn held these positions while on leave from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Whitehouse. \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\nIf you would like to receive regular announcements and updates about activities and events at the Cobb Institute\, please join our list of Friends. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it to the live session?

SUMMARY:Process Thought & Ecological Civilization 2024
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Crises and Possibilities for Ecological Justice and Wellbeing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course explores visions of ecological civilization\, drawing upon process-relational understandings of the cosmos; the history of ecological struggles and movements; and central ideas and practices that have emerged in philosophical\, scientific\, economic\, artistic\, religious\, and activist communities of reflection. The purpose is to gather and build upon practical wisdom that has power to transform the downward spiral of ecological destruction and to foster movements for protecting\, healing\, and regenerating our broken planet. The course is an invitation for participants to travel into the midst of crises and seek possibilities for ecological justice and wellbeing. \n\n\n\nOver the course of six sessions\, we will identify and analyze dominant assumptions about the human and more-than-human natural world\, critiquing and reshaping them from the standpoint of process-relational and other traditions of thought. We will explore these assumptions through case studies\, readings and videos\, presentations by experts\, student projects\, and probing conversations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:Course: 12 Universal Spiritual Principles to Freedom and Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:Dealing With Difficulties in a Healthy and Holistic Way\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the course of life\, most people experience serious challenges\, like death of a loved one\, conflict within marriage\, the loss of a job\, an addiction\, serious problems with a child\, loss of life purpose\, etc. When such challenges require help beyond one’s own resources\, the 12 spiritual principles covered in this course open the path to outside help which solves the challenge. This is the way to deal with the difficulties one faces in a healthy and holistic way. \n\n\n\nIn this six-session course\, Karl Y. will guide participants in a brief study of the twelve spiritual principles for solving any human personal problem and how the solution increases intimacy with oneself\, others\, and the power of help outside oneself. The twelve universal spiritual principles are generalized from the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. We will link these principles to the writing of Alfred North Whitehead in order to understand them in transreligious spiritual ways that are compatible with process-relational thought. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Lynn De Jonghe
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Truth Under Attack: Talking Past Each Other in a Polarized Society \n\n\n\nPresenters: Lynn De Jonghe \n\n\n\nLynn De Jonghe frequently participates in our Tuesday conversations.  On June 18 she’ll ask how we should respond to those who profoundly disagree with us without dissembling and without further inflaming the spirit of growing hatred in our struggling democracy. Discussions in liberal and academic communities may assume that most intelligent people possess a shared understanding of truth and goodness. However\, Amy Chua has argued that this thinking fails to address the increasingly tribal spirit of society polarizing the politics of this country. In fact J.D. Vance has declared\, “The professors are the enemy.” \n\n\n\nDe Jonghe argues that many fierce policy disagreements and clashing truth claims have their roots in different understandings of the meanings of goodness and truth. After examining the historical roots of these disagreements\, she shows how these differences can be manipulated and even weaponized by individuals for their own political ambitions. She then turns to address those whose righteous anger may be genuine. She concludes that grappling with such different perspectives may require strategies that go beyond philosophical argument to more direct forms of informal communication. \n\n\n\nLynn De Jonghe’s career in progressive education has spanned more than forty years.  She served as the founding Head of East Bay Sierra School\, which later merged with another school to form Prospect Sierra School\, to become one of the preeminent schools in the San Francisco Bay Area. Prior to her work in independent schools\, Lynn spent fifteen years in public education administering federal funds to innovative programs\, advocating for project learning as an alternative to textbooks\, and pushing for integration in Massachusetts schools. She received her BA degree in History from Harvard University and an MS in Library Science from Simmons College before completing her PhD in Education at Cornell University.  Her doctoral work on children’s problem solving led her to push for challenging educational programs that encourage all students to pursue learning in depth and to use problem solving skills\, collaborative learning\, and exploration of values in an integrated curriculum. She has served as a trustee of numerous non-profit educational organizations. Her book\, Starting with Whitehead: Raising Children to Thrive in Treacherous Times was published by Rowman Littlefield August 2022. \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\nIf you would like to receive regular announcements and updates about activities and events at the Cobb Institute\, please join our list of Friends. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it to the live session?

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Brian McLaren
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Life after Doom: Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart! \n\n\n\nPresenters: Brian McLaren \n\n\n\nThis popular religion writer will discuss his most recently published book\, Life after Doom: Wisdom & Courage for a World Falling Apart. Sheri Kling\, director of the Process & Faith program\, will assist our conversation. \n\n\n\nBrian McLaren’s website describes this prolific author/lecturer in this way: \n\n\n\n\nBrian D. McLaren is an author\, speaker\, activist\, and public theologian. A former college English teacher and pastor\, he is a passionate advocate for “a new kind of Christianity” – just\, generous\, and working with people of all faiths for the common good. He is an Auburn Senior Fellow\, a contributor to We Stand With Love\, and a leader in the Convergence Network\, through which he is developing an innovative training/mentoring program for pastors and church planters. \n\n\n\n\nHe has been appreciated by those who do theology in process and open and relational ways. Tripp Fuller describes his interview with McLaren about Life After Doom. “In it\, we wrestle with redefining faith\, civilization\, and ecological consciousness. We delve into theological reflections\, reinterpreting religious practices to align with Jesus’s teachings\, advocating for a paradigm shift in societal structures\, and emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable living. Moreover\, we discuss creating inclusive spaces for spiritual growth and action.” For a discussion of McLaren’s work from a process point of view\, see Jay McDaniel’s “Seven Lessons We Can Learn from Brian McLaren” in Open Horizons. \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\nIf you would like to receive regular announcements and updates about activities and events at the Cobb Institute\, please join our list of Friends. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it to the live session?

SUMMARY:Course: 12 Universal Spiritual Principles to Freedom and Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:Dealing With Difficulties in a Healthy and Holistic Way\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the course of life\, most people experience serious challenges\, like death of a loved one\, conflict within marriage\, the loss of a job\, an addiction\, serious problems with a child\, loss of life purpose\, etc. When such challenges require help beyond one’s own resources\, the 12 spiritual principles covered in this course open the path to outside help which solves the challenge. This is the way to deal with the difficulties one faces in a healthy and holistic way. \n\n\n\nIn this six-session course\, Karl Y. will guide participants in a brief study of the twelve spiritual principles for solving any human personal problem and how the solution increases intimacy with oneself\, others\, and the power of help outside oneself. The twelve universal spiritual principles are generalized from the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. We will link these principles to the writing of Alfred North Whitehead in order to understand them in transreligious spiritual ways that are compatible with process-relational thought. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE
