SUMMARY:The Process of Dying
DESCRIPTION:Two Sessions Examining the Harmful Impact of Modern Views of Death and Offering Healthy Alternatives\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this two-session workshop\, the Reverends Joelle Johns and Kathleen Reeves will critically examine the denial of death by medical technology\, problems with the for-profit death industry\, its negative impact on the environment\, and offer healthy alternatives for the environment and our psyche that are based on the insights of Buddhism and process thought. \n\n\n\nYes\, it’s that conversation\, the one no one wants to have. But this one comes with a different perspective: a process and Buddhist outlook on the death industry’s impact on the environment and alternatives. Death and dying has been taken out of the hands of families and our ancestral wisdom has been lost. We don’t know how to die anymore. That often leads to painful\, exhausting\, and invasive but fruitless procedures from a medical industry that perceives death as failure. It leads to environmentally devastating practices that feeds a for-profit funeral industry. There is a way to reclaim our own dying\, to have a good death with quality of life toward the end\, and give back to the earth through green options. We also address the “Death File” and what should be included. \n\n\n\nAbout the Instructors\n\n\n\nJoelle Johns is an interfaith minister\, community/hospice chaplain\, certified end of life doula\, and pastoral thanatologist. \n\n\n\nKathleen Reeves is an interfaith minister\, hospice chaplain\, bereavement coordinator\, and death midwife. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOctober 7th and 14th at 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM PacificRSVP below to receive Zoom meeting information.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP to receive Zoom meeting information.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you find this workshop valuable\, please consider supporting it by making a donation.\n\n\n\n\nDONATE\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop was made possible by a collaboration between friends.

SUMMARY:Tim Eastman Unties the Gordian Knot - Chapter 5
DESCRIPTION:In this series of conversations Tim Eastman will engage with other scholars about his new book\, Untying the Gordian Knot: Process\, Reality\, and Context. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Untying the Gordian Knot: Process\, Reality\, and Context\, Timothy E. Eastman proposes a new creative synthesis\, the Logoi framework-which is radically inclusive and incorporates both actuality and potentiality-to show how the fundamental notions of process\, logic\, and relations\, woven with triads of input-output-context and quantum logical distinctions\, can resolve a baker’s dozen of age-old philosophic problems. \n\n\n\nPurchase from\n\n\n\n\nAmazon\n\n\n\nBookshop.org\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP to receive Zoom meeting information.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Olson and Whitehead
DESCRIPTION:What is a Process Pop-Up?\n\n\n\nProcess pop-ups are hour-long\, informal gatherings that “pop up” occasionally\, and are available to interested and curious minds.  They are exploratory and open-ended\, like process philosophy itself. Their subjects range from poetry to science\, theology to ecology\, music to biology. They are facilitated by Jay McDaniel and sponsored by the Cobb Institute. \n\n\n\nWhat is this Pop-Up about?\n\n\n\nOur theme is process and poetry though the lens of an essay on the the New England poet Charles Olson (1910-1970). He was a key member of the Black Mountain School of American Poetry (1933-1956) also one of the most philosophical poets of his generation. Olson’s poetry is heavily influenced by the process metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead. Another poet\, Robin Blaser\, describes the influence of Whitehead on Olson in his essay: The Violets: Charles Olson and Alfred North Whitehead  (1983). This process pop-up is an informal exploration of Blaser’s essay\, found on the link above and also on this page in Open Horizons: Turning Process into Poetry: Charles Olson. \n\n\n\nWhen is this Pop-Up\n\n\n\nOctober 6th and October 13th at 3:00 PM Pacific / 5:00 PM Central \n\n\n\nResources to Consider\n\n\n\nTurning Process Into Poetry\, an article on Open Horizons\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWriting poetry is not simply a personal act: it is cosmological act.  It is a moment-by- moment process of concrescence\, inspired by breath itself\, not by rules of meter and rhyme\, with the outcome\, the poem\, a gift to the world\, which is likewise in process\, and which furthers the creative advance into novelty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP to receive Zoom meeting information.

SUMMARY:Educational Development Meeting – Lynn De Jonghe
DESCRIPTION:We’re very excited that Lynn De Jonghe has agreed to join us this month to give a presentation on her forthcoming book\, Starting with Whitehead: Raising Children to Thrive in Treacherous Times\, to be published with Hamilton Books\, a subsidiary of Rowman & Littlefield.Dr. Lynn Sargent De Jonghe has had a career in progressive education that spans 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 a 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. More broadly she is committed to social justice\, to moving society from divisiveness to compassion\, and to saving the sentient and becoming-sentient life on our planet.We hope you can join us for what is sure to be a stimulating presentation by one of the process movement’s foremost experts on education. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access our events is made available via email.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Can a Christian be a Buddhist\, too?
DESCRIPTION:What is a Process Pop-Up?\n\n\n\nProcess pop-ups are hour-long\, informal gatherings that “pop up” occasionally\, and are available to interested and curious minds.  They are exploratory and open-ended\, like process philosophy itself. Their subjects range from poetry to science\, theology to ecology\, music to biology. They are facilitated by Jay McDaniel and sponsored by the Cobb Institute. \n\n\n\nWhat is this Pop-Up about?\n\n\n\nOur question is: Can a Christian be a Buddhist\, Too? Process thought offers a unique way of understanding and appreciating Buddhist insights concerning impermanence\, the primacy of the moment\, inter-becoming\, no-self\, the listening side of love\, and the importance of mindfulness\, while also understanding and appreciating Christian understandings of God in Christ as a bodhisattva-like Great Compassion who loves each and all with a tender care that nothing be lost\, and the life of discipleship as one of practicing the presence of God in daily life. In this hour we will explore the possibility that\, with help from process theology\, a Christian can indeed be a Buddhist\, too. Our springboard for discussion and frame of reference will be Can a Christian be a Buddhist\, Too? on Open Horizons. \n\n\n\nWhen is this Pop-Up\n\n\n\nOctober 27th at 3:00 PM Pacific / 5:00 PM Central \n\n\n\nResources to Consider\n\n\n\nCan a Christian be a Buddhist\, Too?\, article on Open Horizons\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuddhism can help Christians become better Christians by helping them become better listeners\, more sensitive to the mutual becoming of all things\, more open to fresh possibilities (initial aims) for wisdom\, compassion\, and creativity in daily life. Yes\, Christians can be Buddhists\, too. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP to receive Zoom meeting information.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Damian Geddry
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Google My Soul: Reaching A New Generation of Spiritual Seekers \n\n\n\nPresenter: Damian Geddry \n\n\n\nDamian Geddry is a marketing professional who “stumbled into Claremont School of Theology and became fascinated by the disconnect between mainstream protestant churches and their communities.” He created a series of classes\, workshops and seminars that address the church disconnect by using research and marketing techniques. \n\n\n\nDamian Geddry cut his marketing teeth at Gray Advertising in New York\, one of the largest ad agencies in the world. He currently works in a Toyota digital ecosystem the intersection of advertising\, social media\, website\, CRM\, and search engine optimization. He explains why “nonprofit organizations—from mainline protestant churches to environmental groups—have a visibility challenge. They are often invisible to Google…and social media.” How can we listen before we speak? Research before we reach out? So\, can you Google your soul? Let’s talk about it! \n\n\n\nIn our conversation Paul Capetz\, pastor of Christ Church by the Sea\, a United Methodist church in Newport Beach\, will also share how he’s been applying what he’s learning from Damian.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access the gathering are made available via email.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Thomas Jay Oord
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Should Christians Be Compassionate if Their God Is Not? \n\n\n\nPresenter: Thomas Jay Oord \n\n\n\nThis is the topic of Dr. Oord’s presentation at last month’s virtual Parliament of World Religions. Although major Christian theologians say God has no emotions\, some admit that an emotionless God cannot be compassionate. But if Christians are to follow the biblical command to imitate God in love\, should they not be compassionate? Explore Christian views of divine compassion in light of the Christian tradition and open and relational theology. How can the Christian God be rightly thought of as compassionate? Can Christians imitate God by fighting climate change and acting with compassion for victims?   \n\n\n\nOord explores this in light of open and relational theology\, a subject of his recent book. Learn more at his website for the Center for Open and Relational Theology. For access to his latest essays\, blogs\, and multiple short podcasts\, see thomasjayoord.com. Oord completed his Ph.D. in religion at Claremont Graduate School under supervision of David Ray Griffin. He is an ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email. To find out about a single meeting\, send an email to events@cobb.institute.

SUMMARY:Teilhard de Chardin Learning Circle
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Dr. Ernie Tamminga\, this discussion group will evaluate how (and whether) Teilhard de Chardin’s hope-filled perspective on the human evolutionary future can still inspire us in a time full of conflicts and division. We begin with a facilitated study of his masterwork\, The Human Phenomenon. (Its title was originally translated into English as The Phenomenon of Man\, back when it was common to refer to humanity as “Man.” That has been corrected in more recent editions of the book.) \n\n\n\nWhat is a learning circle?\n\n\n\nLearning circles are small groups that share a common interest in a topic\, text\, or activity. In a mode that is informal and conversational\, they are typically made up of five to fifteen people who gather together to learn from one another. A learning circle might be a book study group that only explores a single text\, or an affinity group that meets for an indefinite period of time. \n\n\n\n\nFind Out More

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Celebrating the Gifts of John Gingrich
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Celebrating the Gifts of John Gingrich \n\n\n\nOn December 8\, 2020 we were shocked to learn of the untimely death of Dr. John Gingrich\, who served as Chairman of the Board in the Cobb Institute’s first year.

DESCRIPTION:Topic: Engaging the Optative: Misplaced Concreteness\, Changing the Future\, and the Power of Imagination \n\n\n\nPresenter: Callid Keefe-Perry \n\n\n\nDr. Callid (rhymes with “salad”) Keefe-Perry is Assistant Professor of Contextual Education and Public Theology at Boston College’s School for Theology and Ministry. His teaching and research orbit around explorations of imagination\, spirituality\, and education as sites of individual and social formation. Before Keefe-Perry’s career in the academy\, he was a public school teacher and worked in leadership for several arts-based non-profits. He was the primary architect of the 2017 merger that became ARC: Arts | Religion | Culture. His first book\, Way to Water: A Theopoetics Primer\, details the academic history of the field of theopoetics\, arguing for its utility in contemporary Christian congregational life. Currently he serves as the assistant director of the Religion and Education Collaborative and is the Senior Editor for the Journal of the Arts in Religious and Theological Studies (ARTS). Confessionally\, Keefe-Perry’s outlook is greatly shaped by The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)\, especially streams of that tradition emphasizing Christocentric mysticism. He is a Member of Fresh Pond Meeting; a host of the worship experiment\, Three Rivers; and an endorsed public Traveling Minister within and beyond his denomination. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.
