SUMMARY:Living Earth Youth Dialogues: The Living Earth Community and the Human Soul
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, Oliver Mesmer will explore what it means to be a part of a living community of sentient beings—a community of many species within the diverse kingdoms of life. His presentation will focus on what he has learned in his research with the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology on topics such as the differentiated sentience of the more-than-human world\, as well as ecological spirituality. Oliver will invite us into a discussion on how we might orient our perception\, our actions\, and even our lives around the paradigm that we each inhabit a particular niche within a global interdependent ecosystem. \n\n\n\n\nLearn More & RSVP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Layman Pascal
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Metamodern Spirituality and Archaic Futurism \n\n\n\nPresenters: Layman Pascal \n\n\n\nLayman Pascal is the facilitator of the Metamodern Spirituality Labs that last week’s guest\, Brendan Graham Dempsey\, hosts at Sky Meadow.  In May\, 2024 Layman curated an experiential\, interactive presentation on the topic of  “Archaic Futurism” for the ICON Conference in Denver. For our Cobb and Friends gathering\, he’d like to expand on this topic and bring it to a process-oriented audience. His presenter information for that conference describes him this way:  “Layman Pascal used to be a Canadian meditation teacher\, yoga instructor & philosopher of Integral Metatheory\, but he’s feeling much better now.”  He does things like: lead the Metamodern Spirituality Retreats\, host the Integral Stage podcast\, and provide unique online courses. Layman specializes in metashamanics\, the metaphysics of adjacency\, nondualist theology\, developmental theory\, sacred naturalism\, psychotechnologies\, and cultivating human religious instincts suited to a post-postmodern civilization facing numerous accelerating and converging crises. He is also the author of Gurdjieff for a Time Between Worlds: Hyperpersonal Essays on the Grandfather of Metamodern Spirituality\, published by Sky Meadow Press.  \n\n\n\nLayman has also conversed with/interviewed a number of important voices in our process community\, including Matt Segall and Andrew Davis.  A portion of our Cobb & Friends conversation will include a brief interview by Jared Morningstar\, Communications Director serving the Cobb Institute and the Center for Process Studies. \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 experience any difficulty with the RSVP\, please send an email to events@cobb.institute.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Certificate Program 2024 Commencement
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Certificate Program 2024 Commencement \n\n\n\nPresenters: Certificate Program Leadership\, Faculty\, and Participants \n\n\n\nSince its inception\, the Cobb Institute has provided a number of compelling and fascinating educational offerings. In our Learning Lab\, as we sometimes call it\, we’ve conducted a wide variety of experiments\, all with the aim of transforming education for ecological civilization. Whitehead once said\, “What education has to impart is an intimate sense for the power of ideas\, for the beauty of ideas\, and for the structure of ideas\, together with a particular body of knowledge which has peculiar reference to the life of the being possessing it.” As important as ideas are\, the impact they have on our lives is equally if not more vital. Indeed\, we offer an approach to learning that seeks to bring about transformations in both our students and the worlds they inhabit: from value-free research to personal growth; from isolated learners to learners-in-community; from attachment to dogmatic ideologies to openness to evidence; from gaining knowledge as mere data to knowledge as wisdom nourished by multiple ways of knowing; and from the primacy of analysis to the primacy of creative synthesis and embodied discovery. \n\n\n\nThe Cobb Institute’s most ambitious educational offering is the Certificate Program in Process Thought & Practice. The program provides an occasion for students to learn about the great diversity of process philosophies and the many ways in which those ideas can be expressed in everyday life. It begins with a general introduction to process thought and ends with an opportunity to creatively and concretely express what participants have learned. In between students participate in courses covering Whitehead’s philosophy of organism\, major religious traditions\, the complex landscape of ecological civilization\, and the relevance of Whitehead’s cosmology to the natural sciences. 15 students recently completed the 2024 program\, and for our gathering this week\, we will take a break from our usual format to host their commencement ceremony. During our time together\, we’ll hear from the program dean and the faculty members about their experience\, the graduates will each give a brief presentation on their capstone synthesis and springboard projects\, and we’ll take a brief look at what’s on the horizon for the 2025 program. \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 experience any difficulty with the RSVP\, please send an email to events@cobb.institute. If 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?
