SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: Daoist Meditation as Practice and Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Zhenbao Jin\n\n\n\n\n\nMeditation is not simply a practice\, but a philosophy-based practice\, or a practice-based philosophy. With philosophy I mean our fundamental understanding of life and the cosmos\, and especially\, our understanding of life and death. \n\n\n\nEach of us begins the practice of meditation with a certain philosophy. The point is\, what is our purpose to do the practice of meditation? Are we trying to prove that philosophy is true? \n\n\n\nIt depends on the philosophy itself. A philosophy that holds death is an inevitable and natural result of life will have effect upon the practice of meditation very different from a philosophy that holds death is not the end and life\, including body and soul\, has a potential of perpetual development. \n\n\n\nTaoism belongs to the latter category. I would like to introduce my practice and research on these issues and expect a lively discussion with other members of the community. \n\n\n\nZhenbao will talk about Daoist philosophy for about 20 minutes and then we will have a discussion. In the last 20 minutes he will introduce the practice of Daoist meditation and lead a 10-minute session. After that\, the group will discuss the experience. \n\n\n\nTo find out more and receive Zoom info… \n\n\n\n\nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Richard Falk
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Making Ecocide a Crime \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Richard Falk \n\n\n\nIn 1973 Professor Falk drafted an Ecocide Convention\, explicitly recognizing at the outset “that man has consciously and unconsciously inflicted irreparable damage to the environment in times of war and peace.” In 2021 he served as a judge for the International Rights of Nature Tribunal\, seeking accountability for damage to aquatic ecosystems in Europe.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Ronan Hallowell
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Story of Wholeness: Community\, Communion and Narrative Medicine \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Ronan Hallowell \n\n\n\nMany of today’s catastrophes emerge from a profound problem of fragmentation that has infected modern thought and culture(s) – at least since the dawn of the Newtonian-Cartesian cosmology. The deep alienation characteristic of the modern world is rooted in a pathological story that yields a distorted view of the human relationship to the natural world. As Thomas Berry has argued\, we need to retire these distorted\, pathological stories and embrace the Great Story of the Universe. The Great Story is a multivalent story of wholeness and relationality.  \n\n\n\nThis talk will discuss how stories of wholeness are emerging in contemporary allopathic medicine through the acknowledgement of the need for community and health justice\, the healing potential of ‘communion’ experiences occasioned by psychedelic medicines and attention to the power of story that is emphasized in narrative medicine\, a new field of study in medicine and the medical humanities. \n\n\n\nRonan Hallowell\, EdD\, MA\, is assistant professor of medical education at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California where he serves as Director of the Health Justice and Systems of Care longitudinal MD course\, Associate Director of the USC Center for Mindfulness Science\, and faculty in the M.S. program in Narrative Medicine. He has been a student of integral philosophies\, the world’s wisdom traditions and Lakota medicine ways for over 25 years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Sabeeha Rehman and Walter Ruby
DESCRIPTION:Topic: We Refuse to Be Enemies! \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Sabeeha Rehman and Walter Ruby \n\n\n\nWe Refuse to Be Enemies: How Muslims and Jews Can Make Peace\, One Friendship at a Time (Arcade\, 2020) is a manifesto by two American citizens\, a Muslim woman and Jewish man\, concerned with the rise of intolerance and bigotry in our country along with resurgent white nationalism. Together\, Rehman and Ruby have spent decades doing interfaith work and nurturing cooperation among communities. They have learned that\, through face-to-face encounters\, people of all backgrounds can come to know the Other as a fellow human being and turn her or him into a trusted friend. In this book they share their experience and guidance.  \n\n\n\nGrowing up in Pakistan before she immigrated to the United States\, Sabeeha never met a Jew\, and her view was colored by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In his youth\, Walter never met a Muslim\, and his opinion was shaped by Leon Uris’s Exodus. Yet together they have formed a friendship and collaboration. Tapping their own life stories and entering into dialogue within the book\, they explain how they have found commonalities between their respective faiths and discuss shared principles and lessons\, how their perceptions of the Other have evolved\, and the pushback they faced. They wrestle with the two elephants in the room: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and polarizing material in their holy texts and history. And they share their vision for reconciliation\, offering concrete principles for building an alliance in support of religious freedom and human rights. \n\n\n\nTo explore further the experience out of which Sabeeha and Walter write\, check out their author profile and a YouTube discussion for the Central Arkansas Library System; an event announcement for the Beacon Hebrew Alliance\, and this article in the Jewish Standard. You can follow Sabeeha Rehman’s blog here\, and Walter Ruby’s “Keeping Hope Alive” blog here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.
