SUMMARY:Interweavings: Remembering our Ancestors & Honoring our Beloved Dead
DESCRIPTION:The end of October is marked by many cultures as a sacred time when the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead becomes more porous. Gaelic or Celtic cultures celebrate Samhain and the Christian tradition has honored its dead on All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days. The wonderful animated film “Coco” honors the Mexican tradition of the Day of the Dead in exuberant color. On October 22\, Process & Faith will hold a special online event\, sponsored by the Pagan Path Group\, that will be a service of remembrance for everyone who has lost or grieved a loved one. Attendees will be encouraged to bring pictures of their loved ones. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind Out More & Register

SUMMARY:Extended Sight & Process Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this Saturday morning dialogue between physicist and neuroscientist Àlex Gómez-Marín and Cobb Institute Science Advisory Committee chair Matt Segall. Dr. Gomez-Marin\, who is head of the Behavior of Organisms Laboratory at the Instituto de Neurociencias in Alicante\, Spain\, will summarize the results of his recent experiments on “scopaesthesia” (in collaboration with Dr. Rupert Sheldrake) and on “extraocular vision” (inspired by the work of Dr. Jacobo Grinberg). He and Segall will then explore how these phenomena can be given coherent interpretation from a process philosophical perspective. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nÀlex Gómez-Marín is a Spanish physicist turned neuroscientist. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics and a Masters in biophysics from the University of Barcelona. He was a research fellow at the EMBL-CRG Centre for Genomic Regulation and at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown in Lisbon. His research spans from the origins of the arrow of time to the neurobiology of action-perception loops across species\, including flies\, worms\, mice\, humans and robots. Since 2016 he is the head of the Behavior of Organisms Laboratory at the Instituto de Neurociencias in Alicante\, where he is an Associate Professor of the Spanish Research Council. His latest research concentrates on human consciousness in the real world.  \n\n\n\n\n\nÀlex Gómez-Marín\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt Segall is Assistant Professor in the Philosophy\, Cosmology\, and Consciousness program at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco where he teaches graduate level courses on process philosophy and German Idealism. His recent book\, Physics of the World-Soul: Alfred North Whitehead’s Adventure in Cosmology\, put Whitehead’s process cosmology into conversation with various contemporary scientific theories\, such as general relativity and quantum theory. This book is exemplary of much of Matt’s recent work\, which puts ideas from process philosophy into conversation with the natural sciences. \n\n\n\n\n\nMatt Segall\n\n\n\n\n\n\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\nThis event is sponsored by the Science Advisory Committee.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: Balancing Eight Spiritual Tensions
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Jared Morningstar\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin an interactive Pop-Up event where we will explore four pairs of religious and spiritual dispositions which are in tension with one another. Participants will explore the feelings that come up with each of the perspectives\, and try to find ways to see richness in both sides of the tensions\, rather than just rejecting one side and restricting one’s perspective. Together we will consider how we can hold these tensions with grace so as to not lose the organic dynamism of authentic spirituality. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind Out More & Register

SUMMARY:Process Thinking & Human Living
DESCRIPTION:The way we think and the beliefs we hold about the workings of our cosmos have a huge impact on the way we live. Often\, our view of the world may rest on unquestioned assumptions that no longer reflect reality. In fact\, some of our assumptions about the world work directly against human flourishing.  \n\n\n\nSince the early twentieth century\, many have found life-giving resources in the work of Alfred North Whitehead and others working in what is now called process philosophy and process or open and relational theologies. Process thought often has more in common with ways of thinking that are found in the East – such as in the traditions of Buddhism\, Daoism\, and Confucianism – than it does with the dominant worldview in the West. How might we apply these resources in both East and West to address the division and suffering we see in our world today?  \n\n\n\nIn this 3-hour\, online seminar\, speakers from Process & Faith\, a program of the Center for Process Studies of Claremont School of Theology will explore aspects of process thought that make a positive difference in human life and in the life of the earth. A second seminar is being planned for early 2023 on process thought and various religious traditions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind Out More & Register

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Mark VanderSchaaf
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Engaging with the Soul(s) of the City: Lessons from Dallas\, Saint Paul\, New York and Los Angeles \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Mark VanderSchaaf \n\n\n\nIn the early 1990s Mark VanderSchaaf was appointed as the first economic planner for the City of Saint Paul in Minnesota. Drawing upon his admiration for the Herman Daly/John Cobb book For the Common Good\, and the teachings of Carl Jung and Rudolph Steiner\, Mark devised a unique approach to economic development that yielded remarkable dividends for his city and its region. Mark’s presentation will share how his ideas crystallized with the help of mentors at the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture\, and how these ideas were then applied to the task of riverfront revitalization in Saint Paul and the entire Upper Mississippi River Valley. Finally\, he will talk about teaching opportunities that subsequently materialized in Los Angeles (2004) and New York City (2013)\, which drew upon this experience. \n\n\n\nLater in his career Mark became the regional planning director for the seven-county Minneapolis-Saint Paul Area (2004-2016) and upon retirement was elected national chair of the American Planning Association’s Regional and Intergovernmental Planning Division. In retirement\, Mark has especially focused on the role that public art can play in the process of community-oriented economic revitalization. From that perspective\, he delivered a keynote speech in Qingdao\, China in January of this year at the International Award for Public Art ceremony and award program. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Md. Abu Sayem
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Religion and Ecological Crisis \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Md. Abu Sayem \n\n\n\nProfessor Sayem’s newly published book\, Religion and Ecological Crisis (Routledge)\, compares perspectives of John B. Cobb and Seyyed Hossein Nasr. Sayem explores how prescriptions of these scholars\, a Christian and a Muslim\, can contribute alternatively to techno-scientific initiatives in environmental sustainability. Taking Cobb’s “economism” and Nasr’s “scientism” as the key concepts for surveying the roots of the ecological crisis\, the book offers interdisciplinary and interreligious insights into the debates about ecological equilibrium\, motivational awareness in human mind and about entanglements between religion and the environment.  A native of Bangladesh with extensive global experience\, Dr. Sayem is Associate Professor in World Religions and Culture at the University of Dhaka.  At the University’s website you can find his biographical information\, including research interests\, awards and publications.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.
