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

Our reflections will be guided by the Twenty Key Ideas of Process Thought. \n\n\n\nLike many of you I do not have a formal background in process thought. My seminary program did not include readings in process theology. However\, through various offerings from the Cobb Institute and Process and Faith and Open Horizons I have received a good and welcome introduction to process thought. My interest has grown with my increased knowledge of process. My hope is that this learning circle with provide a place for those of you\, like me\, who are new to process to read and discuss the books and essays of process theologians and philosophers. \n\n\n\nThe focus in our next round will be C. Robert Mesle’s Process-Relational Philosophy: An Introduction to Alfred North Whitehead. This short book covers a lot of territory and provides an excellent overview of Whitehead’s thinking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind Out More

SUMMARY:Process Thought & Science 2024
DESCRIPTION:Applying Process Thought Across the Natural Sciences\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course introduces students to Alfred North Whitehead’s process philosophy by exploring its relevance to contemporary natural science and cosmology. The facilitator will introduce Whitehead’s way of thinking about the philosophical presuppositions of science. The course also includes sessions with guest lecturers offering examples of Whiteheadian and other process-oriented approaches to physics\, biology\, neuroscience\, and consciousness studies. \n\n\n\nIn light of his protest against the modern bifurcation of nature into separate physical and psychical domains\, the course examines the ways Whitehead’s process-relational ontology allows us to understand the knowledge produced by natural science as compatible with human experience\, including the presuppositions of ethical social relations and cultural self-understanding. Whitehead’s “organic realism” makes it possible to re-enchant the world without contradicting the latest scientific findings. In fact\, his Philosophy of Organism provides us with one of the most promising means of integrating the increasingly fragmented natural and social sciences into a comprehensive and potentially civilization renewing vision. \n\n\n\nStudents can expect to gain a basic understanding of Whitehead’s cosmology and the major categories of his metaphysical scheme. Students will be introduced to Whitehead’s novel interpretations of relativity\, quantum\, evolutionary\, and complexity theories\, and will become familiar with the usually unspoken metaphysical assumptions underlying contemporary physicalist cosmology. Students will also come to appreciate the importance of overcoming the artificial modern divide between natural science and the humanities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:Process Thought & Science 2024
DESCRIPTION:Applying Process Thought Across the Natural Sciences\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course introduces students to Alfred North Whitehead’s process philosophy by exploring its relevance to contemporary natural science and cosmology. The facilitator will introduce Whitehead’s way of thinking about the philosophical presuppositions of science. The course also includes sessions with guest lecturers offering examples of Whiteheadian and other process-oriented approaches to physics\, biology\, neuroscience\, and consciousness studies. \n\n\n\nIn light of his protest against the modern bifurcation of nature into separate physical and psychical domains\, the course examines the ways Whitehead’s process-relational ontology allows us to understand the knowledge produced by natural science as compatible with human experience\, including the presuppositions of ethical social relations and cultural self-understanding. Whitehead’s “organic realism” makes it possible to re-enchant the world without contradicting the latest scientific findings. In fact\, his Philosophy of Organism provides us with one of the most promising means of integrating the increasingly fragmented natural and social sciences into a comprehensive and potentially civilization renewing vision. \n\n\n\nStudents can expect to gain a basic understanding of Whitehead’s cosmology and the major categories of his metaphysical scheme. Students will be introduced to Whitehead’s novel interpretations of relativity\, quantum\, evolutionary\, and complexity theories\, and will become familiar with the usually unspoken metaphysical assumptions underlying contemporary physicalist cosmology. Students will also come to appreciate the importance of overcoming the artificial modern divide between natural science and the humanities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:Process Thought & Ecological Civilization 2024
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Crises and Possibilities for Ecological Justice and Wellbeing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course explores visions of ecological civilization\, drawing upon process-relational understandings of the cosmos; the history of ecological struggles and movements; and central ideas and practices that have emerged in philosophical\, scientific\, economic\, artistic\, religious\, and activist communities of reflection. The purpose is to gather and build upon practical wisdom that has power to transform the downward spiral of ecological destruction and to foster movements for protecting\, healing\, and regenerating our broken planet. The course is an invitation for participants to travel into the midst of crises and seek possibilities for ecological justice and wellbeing. \n\n\n\nOver the course of six sessions\, we will identify and analyze dominant assumptions about the human and more-than-human natural world\, critiquing and reshaping them from the standpoint of process-relational and other traditions of thought. We will explore these assumptions through case studies\, readings and videos\, presentations by experts\, student projects\, and probing conversations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:Seeing Nature Through a Process Lens
DESCRIPTION:A Learning Circle Exploring Nature Authors Guided by Process Thought\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this four-session learning circle we will read and discuss the writings of various nature authors\, such as Loren Eiseley\, Mary Oliver\, John Muir\, and others. The group will use some of the Cobb Institute’s “What is Process Thought? 20 Key Ideas” slideshow as a means to learn more about nature and process thought. \n\n\n\nThe learning circle will meet four times for an hour and a half each session. We will begin session one with a discussion of five of the 20 Key Ideas. In each of the other three sessions there will be a brief review of the biography of the authors and an overview of their works. \n\n\n\nKnowledge of the authors we will study or process thought is not necessary. A desire to learn more about both is both helpful and desired. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:Course: 12 Universal Spiritual Principles to Freedom and Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:Dealing With Difficulties in a Healthy and Holistic Way\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the course of life\, most people experience serious challenges\, like death of a loved one\, conflict within marriage\, the loss of a job\, an addiction\, serious problems with a child\, loss of life purpose\, etc. When such challenges require help beyond one’s own resources\, the 12 spiritual principles covered in this course open the path to outside help which solves the challenge. This is the way to deal with the difficulties one faces in a healthy and holistic way. \n\n\n\nIn this six-session course\, Karl Y. will guide participants in a brief study of the twelve spiritual principles for solving any human personal problem and how the solution increases intimacy with oneself\, others\, and the power of help outside oneself. The twelve universal spiritual principles are generalized from the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. We will link these principles to the writing of Alfred North Whitehead in order to understand them in transreligious spiritual ways that are compatible with process-relational thought. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE
