SUMMARY:Process Explorations: Bonnie Tarwater
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nTheme: Responding to a Fractured World: Re-think\, Re-act\, Re-create \nTopic: Church for Our Common Home and the John Cobb Eco Farm and Retreat Center \nPresenter(s): Bonnie Tarwater \n  \nThis presentation will share about the ministry of Church for Our Common Home and the John Cobb Eco Farm and Retreat Center and offer photos in a PowerPoint. In 2015 Dr. John B. Cobb Jr. invited me to head the Anima Track at the Seizing an Alternative Conference. This contributed to my own consciousness raising experince about the severity of our earth crisis and the founding of Church for Our Common Home dedicated to Mother Earth\, the divine feminine\, loving community\, and the arts. I did not grow up with any religion and moved eighteen times in my first eighteen years in five different countries. Perhaps this contributes to my planetary perspective that celebrates the wonder of our interfaith\, interspecies and interconnected web of life. As a disciple of Jesus and Unitarian Universalist\, Church for Our Common Home is untraditional and esoteric. \nMy husband Dr. Walt Rutherford is a transpersonal psychologist and together we offer traditional as well as pastoral counseling\, spiritual direction\, dream work\, etc. (more info at Our Common Home Counseling Center) Our transdisciplinary ministry offers a wide array of offerings to serve beyond the walls of the traditional church. We literally moved out of our “House Church” into the barn to be with the animals\, 4 pm Sundays\, on Zoom and celebrating the goats\, chickens\, ducks\, cats\, and our huge\, beautiful rabbit Gracie\, the breeze\, trees\, grass………….and we give thanks! \nDr. Cobb attended Church for Our Common Home worship on Zoom almost every Sunday the last few years of his life. My background in the visual and performing arts inspires our “Arts Ministry” and the Our Lady of Guadalupe Barn Mural. We have created an Interfaith Secret Prayer Garden\, and The Mary Magdalene Café and rose garden hosts our weekly Earth Crisis Support Group and Potluck Party (ECSG) after church. We invited other organizations to join us and for the last year we have offered the Interfaith Prayer and Song Vigil for Peace in Corvallis Oregon every Saturday in front of the Court House to support the Corvallis in Solidarity with Palestine Free Gaza Protest. Church for Our Common Home is at the Capital of Salem for Moral Monday’s and the Poor People’s Campaign. \nThe John Cobb Eco Farm and Retreat Center is a five-acre farm in Oregon where we grow beets as big as your head and sunflowers over 12 feet tall. We are doing biodynamic farming a kind of spiritual farming and we call our vegetable garden\, “The Hilda Garden” named after the 12th century mystic Hildegard. The prayer station for 14th century Julian of Norwich and first women to publish a book in English about her visions and near-death experiences invites us into the Labyrinth. Our theology is simply written on the colorfully painted barn mural\, “God Is Love.” May we love God with all our heart\, soul\, strength and mind and the natural world\, who is also our neighbor—often left out—all as our neighbors who are an extension of ourselves. Our vision is to be a sanctuary church for “the least of these” both humans and nonhumans. Praying for peace on earth we give thanks for the Good News of the Gospel that love is stronger than any suffering and even death. \n  \n \nAbout the Presenter(s)\n\n\n\n\n\nRev. Bonnie Tarwater is a Christian Unitarian Universalist minister and founder of Church for Our Common Home in Oregon and offering worship and programs globally on Zoom. Rev. Bonnie is an artist\, musician\, social justice activist\, dream worker and writer. She served as a traditional parish minister for many years and hospice chaplain.

SUMMARY:Process Explorations: Monalisa Tuitahi
DESCRIPTION:Program:\n		Process Explorations\n\n		Series Theme:\n		Building Alternative Futures\n\n		Session Topic:\n		Imagination\, Ritual\, and Non-Ordinary Experiences\n\n		Presenter(s):\n		Jared Morningstar\, Independent Scholars; Communications Director at the Center for Process Studies\n\n  \nIn this session of Process Exploration\, Jared Morningstar shares his recent research exploring connections between ritual practice and imagination. Drawing upon ideas from process and Islamic philosophies\, Jared provides a broad overview and analysis of the field of ritual studies before discussing the significance of non-ordinary experience for insight and self-transcendence. In the second half of the presentation\, Jared explores imagination as a primordial human faculty which interprets and transmutes the unique experiences provided by ritual practices. Imagination\, he argues\, is central to our ability to make meaning and self-actualize. \n\n  \nAbout the Presenter(s)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJared Morningstar is an independent scholar and public intellectual based in Chicago whose work explores philosophies and wisdom traditions that are attuned to our time of profound cultural\, ecological\, and spiritual transition. His research focuses especially on process philosophy and theology\, classical and contemporary Islamic thought\, metamodernism\, comparative religion\, and non-ordinary experiences. Across his writing and public scholarship\, he explores how religious traditions can be articulated to respond constructively to contemporary challenges such as nihilism\, interreligious conflict\, ecological crisis\, and the so-called “meaning crisis.”  Jared’s work has appeared in a variety of publications including Metamodern Theory and Praxis\, Process Perspectives\, and Emerge alongside the edited volumes Open and Relational Theology and its Social and Political Implications: Muslim and Christian Perspectives and Amipotence: Expansion & Application. He is a frequent lecturer and conference presenter and has appeared on numerous podcasts and public forums to discuss religion\, process thought\, Islam\, and metamodernism. He holds degrees in Religion and Scandinavian Studies from Gustavus Adolphus College and currently works with the Center for Process Studies and the Psychedelic Medicine Association.
