SUMMARY:Class: Using Poetry to Unfold Whitehead's Modes of Becoming
DESCRIPTION:How can poetry vivify and deepen our understanding of Whitehead’s Process and Reality?\n\n\n\nThis is the third in series of three four-week courses taught by Christina Hutchins. The “vivid suggestiveness of the poets” can deepen our engagement with process concepts that have been well-developed yet also limited by conventional theological or philosophical thought.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: Process Theology and the Enneagram
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Ken Pearson & Jay McDaniel\n\n\n\n\n\nProcess theology invites us to imagine God as “in process” with us\, adapting to our unique situation and context by availing us of fresh possibilities for a journey into wholeness\, relative to our personality and propensities. We can become more available to God’s living presence by understanding our gifts and limitations and appreciating the gifts of others who are different from us. God works in them in their ways\, just as God works in us in our ways. With its powerful typology\, the Enneagram contributes significantly to this self-understanding and appreciation. It also helps us recognize that\, so often our gifts our also our sins\, thus avoiding the liabilities of self-deception. Our hour together will provide an opportunity to consider the Enneagram types\, to see their relevance to process theology\, and to consider how\, together\, the Enneagram and process theology might help us grow in our potential to help heal a broken world. The wholeness we seek is not personal alone\, but social and ecological too. \n\n\n\nSponsored by Process & Faith and the Cobb Institute. \n\n\n\nTo find out more and receive Zoom info… \n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: The Kyoto School: a Buddhist Contribution to Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Jared Morningstar\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin a sophisticated discussion of the Kyoto School of philosophy and how these cosmopolitan Buddhist thinkers offer resources for building ecological civilization. \n\n\n\nFrom The Kyoto School: True Emptiness\, Wondrous Being website: \n\n\n\n“The Kyoto School was founded by Nishida Kitaro at the beginning of the 20th century\, and now covers three generations of philosophers who have endeavoured to express the insights of the East in the philosophical language of the West. As they did so\, however\, they have in fact created a new kind of philosophy\, a radically new way of thinking from the standpoint of emptiness – and empathy – which goes beyond the limited scope of traditional Western philosophy\, which is the standpoint of being – and that of the self-centred calculative mind\, cut off from a true experience of reality. Their insights will be of interest to those interested in current research about the nature of consciousness and cognition\, as well as those concerned by the inadequacy of the prevalent Western mode of thinking in tackling social\, political\, economic and environmental issues.” \n\n\n\nThe Kyoto School and its representatives offer a unique dialogue with traditions of Process thought\, as both maintain a skepticism of the dominant substance ontology of much of mainline Western thinking. In his forward to Nishitani’s masterpiece\, Religion and Nothingness\, scholar Winston L. King writes that \n\n\n\n“One other possibility remains [for dialogue between the Kyoto School and Western thought] in the field of American philosophy\, and one that has been slightly explored already. To this writer it seems to have the greatest potential for sustaining a full philosophical-religious contact between Buddhist East and Christian West of any thought pattern in America. This is the so-called process philosophy which had its roots in the thought of A. N. Whitehead\, especially in his seminal Process and Reality” (Winston L. King\, “Foreward” in Religion and Nothingness by Keiji Nishitani\, Nanzan Studies in Religion and Culture. Berkeley: University of California Press\, 1983\, xxi). \n\n\n\nThis pop-up will examine the specific resources provided by these philosophers of emptiness for collaborating in the project of ecological civilization. \n\n\n\nThis pop-up will be hosted on Zoom and facilitated by Jared Morningstar. The session will last approximately one hour. Resources pertaining to the topic are linked below as springboards for discussion. Resources pertaining to the topic are provided at the event page linked below as springboards for discussion. \n\n\n\n Sponsored by Process & Faith and the Cobb Institute.   \n\n\n\nTo find out more and receive Zoom info… \n\n\n\n\nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Ilia Delio
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Teilhard de Chardin as Process Thinker: Why We Can’t Stay Still and Neither Can God \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Ilia Delio \n\n\n\nTeilhard de Chardin was an insightful process thinker who developed insights on science and religion that are valuable for our age. His ideas on a metaphysics of union\, hyperphysics\, the physics of love and mindful materiality all play a role in the Godworld relationship. I will discuss Teilhard’s unique contribution to process thought in his notion of the Christic and the elusive Omega Point. \n\n\n\nIlia Delio\, OSF\, is a Franciscan Sister of Washington DC and holds the Josephine C. Connelly Chair in Christian Theology at Villanova Universe. She is the author of over twenty-three books including Making All Things New: Catholicity\, Cosmology and Consciousness\, a finalist for the 2019 Michael Ramsey Prize and The Unbearable Wholeness of Being: God\, Evolution and the Power of Love\, for which she won the 2014 Silver Nautilus Book Award and a 2014 Catholic Press Association Book Award in Faith and Science. She is founder of the Center for Christogenesis\, an online educational resource for promoting the vision of Teilhard de Chardin and\, more broadly\, the integration of science and religion in the 21st century. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - David Bartosch
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Culture as a Core Process of Human Cosmic Life \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): David Bartosch \n\n\n\nDr. Bartosch is a German philosopher serving as a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences at Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai\, where he focuses on transcultural comparative philosophy\, the traditions of world philosophy\, and intercultural studies. He has been recently engaged with John Cobb in lengthy discussion about an upcoming publication. Bartosch says\, “In this talk\, I will refer to a concept of culture (especially also ecology-related) which stands in relation to the philosophies of Whitehead and to Dr. Cobb’s comprehensive works. I will try to interweave this topic with the thoughts on cosmic life discussed with Dr. Cobb during our January online meeting. In relation to ideas about culture and (eco-)morality\, I might also refer to John Coltrane and Friedrich Schiller as case examples for artists’ thoughts on the subject matter.” \n\n\n\nHere is a link to a detailed list of Bartosch’s writings and television interviews. He discusses why a German scholar finds inspiration in ancient Chinese philosophy in brief excerpts from this television interview. A more extensive interview with the Chinese press\, about Wang Yangming as a reformer of Confucian tradition\, is available about 19 minutes into this YouTube video. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: Buddhist Disenchantment & Process Reenchantment
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Doug Holmes\n\n\n\n\n\nBuddhists have long taught that the spiritual life eventually requires one to become disenchanted with the world. Process thinkers have suggested that to overcome our civilizational ills we need to reenchant the world that modernity has disenchanted. Do we have to choose\, or can we have both? We’ll examine some quotes about reenchantment and disenchantment from the process philosopher David Ray Griffin and the Theravadin Buddhist teacher Ajahn Chah. Process thought and Buddhism have a long and fruitful history\, but will this drive a wedge between them? Join us for an enchanted hour as we divine into these questions.  \n\n\n\nTo find out more and receive Zoom info… \n\n\n\n\nRSVP NOW
