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\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop was made possible by a collaboration between friends.

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:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - John Cobb
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Remove the Obstacles! \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): John Cobb \n\n\n\nJohn Cobb invites his Friends to consider a letter he intends to send to Presidents Xi and Biden to Remove the Obstacles to Ecological Civilization. The idea started simply as a “benediction” at the close of a service where he had preached for Church of the Village in New York City. In place of a standard biblical quotation as a closing word of blessing\, he simply named a hope—that President Xi of China and President Biden of the United States would meet and commit to saving the planet! \n\n\n\nThe letter begins\, “The habitability of the planet can no longer be taken for granted. Both of you have done\, and are doing\, much to counter the profound threat to the future. We are at a crossroads. The two of you have made possible an historical change that might save us all from unimaginable disasters. PLEASE lead us into the new possibility you have created.” \n\n\n\nJohn Cobb\, a distinguished member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, has a lot of credibility in China.  Of the 2000 persons attending the 2015 Claremont Conference on “Seizing an Alternative\,” 300 were from China.  A 2019 article\, “Red China is turning green\,” quotes a speech by President Xi that “could have been written by John B. Cobb\, Jr.\, an American theologian\, philosopher and environmentalist who is highly influential in China.”  Even in this year of extreme isolation for John’s residential community\, he has kept up a steady pace of lectures to Chinese audiences. \n\n\n\nCome join John\, Bonnie Tarwater\, and Zhihe Wang and Meijun Fan to help polish the letter and strategize its sending. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access the gathering are made available via email. To find out about a single meeting\, send an email to events@cobb.institute.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Mary Elizabeth Moore
DESCRIPTION:Presenter(s): Mary Elizabeth Moore \n\n\n\nTopic: Touching the Holy in Unholy Times \n\n\n\nThrough poetry and photography\, Mary Elizabeth invites us to explore the sacred landscape of creation and the godness that fills every being and the cosmic whole. We will especially focus on the power of spiritual attuning and deepening to foster life-giving habits in individuals and societies – habits of delighting\, mourning\, healing\, and social revolution. Mary Elizabeth is Dean Emerita and Professor of Theology and Education in Boston University School of Theology. On sabbatical now\, she is writing two books that are enriching her life and will hopefully enrich others. They are a book of meditations from which the Tuesday readings and photos come\, and a monograph on sacrality and revolution. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access the gathering are made available via email.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Lisa Landoe Hedrick
DESCRIPTION:Presenter(s): Lisa Landoe Hedrick \n\n\n\nTopic: The Artisanship of Facthood \n\n\n\nDr. Lisa Landoe Hedrick will explore “The Artisanship of Facthood: Thinking with Whitehead on the Fragility of a Common World.”  It’s a timely theme articulated in her June 3 article in Sightings\, “Alfred North Whitehead and the ‘Facts’:  How an old philosophical trap continues to ensnare us today.”  (Before Tuesday\, please read it!)  Her conclusion?  “If we are to make our way out of this era of ‘alternative facts\,’ then we must beware the trap of appealing to the world of facts as some kind of bedrock. We would do better to remember that ‘facts’ themselves are constituted by the social relationality of belonging. In other words\, we will not be able to persuade each other with facts alone\, but must begin with what it means to be in relation with one another.” \n\n\n\nDr. Landoe Hedrick will elaborate on the context of the article\, which draws upon her recent book\, Whitehead and the Pittsburgh School: Preempting the Problem of Intentionality\, and how it relates to her intellectual concerns going forward. Reviewing the book\, Nancy Frankenberry (Dartmouth College) said\, “Not since the pioneering work of the late George W. Shields has a Whitehead scholar tackled the critical relation of Whitehead to analytic philosophy. Hedrick does it here in a thoroughly up-to-date and decisive way with a brilliant focus on the meaning of intentionality and the need to make sense of the relationship between mind and world.” \n\n\n\nLisa Landoe Hedrick (Ph.D. U of Chicago\, 2019)\, is now a Divinity Teaching Fellow in the College at the University of Chicago.  Her current research explores the relationship between Anglo-American theories of language\, nature\, and metaphysics.  She is Book Review Editor of The American Journal of Theology and Philosophy\, the journal of the Institute for American Religious and Philosophical Thought. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access the gathering are made available via email.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Catherine Keller
DESCRIPTION:Presenter(s): Catherine Keller \n\n\n\nTopic: Facing Apocalypse—Climate\, Democracy\, and Other Last Chances \n\n\n\nWhen she wrote Apocalypse Now and Then in 1996\, Catherine Keller\, George T. Cobb Professor of Constructive Theology at Drew Theological School\, thought she was finished with the Apocalypse theme. It’s back\, not as disastrous ending\, but as an “unveiling\,” prompted by the last book of the Christian New Testament and our current reality. It’s a “dreamreading” of our current global crisis. Watch Drew’s celebratory book launch event here\, which includes extensive dialogue with Dr. Keller. There you’ll discover Jürgen Moltmann’s judgment that this is “a brilliant work\,” and Tripp Fuller’s affirmation\, “By holding the apocalyptic text and the signs of the times in a generative and revelatory tension\, Keller makes this ancient text shake and quake our present moment.” Find out more information about Facing Apocalypse at Orbis Press\, or listen to a radio interview with her publisher\, Robert Ellsberg. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access the gathering are made available via email.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Tim Eastman
DESCRIPTION:Presenter(s): Tim Eastman \n\n\n\nTopic: Untying the Gordian Knot: Process\, Reality\, and Context \n\n\n\nMatt Segall\, chairman of the Cobb Institute’s Science Advisory Committee\, will engage NASA plasma physicist Tim Eastman in conversation about his book\, published in December\, 2020. Eastman uses the Logoi framework—which is radically inclusive and incorporates both actuality and potentiality—to go beyond standard ways of knowing—that of context independence (science) and context focus (arts\, humanities)—to demonstrate the inevitable role of ultimate context (meaning\, spiritual dimension) as part of a transformative ecological vision. See Joe Petek’s review at the Process Research Project website\, and the publisher’s reviews at Lexington Books. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access the gathering are made available via email.
