SUMMARY:Learning Circle: Process Thought 101
DESCRIPTION:A Learning Circle Exploring a Process Worldview For Newcomers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWant to learn more about process thought? Join our learning circle\, as we read and discuss together various essays on important themes to process thought. The topics will include the interconnectedness and relational nature of the universe\, the idea that nature is alive and has value for itself\, and process and beauty. \n\n\n\nThe learning circle will begin with a general introduction to process thought and a process worldview by a close exploration of those topics using the “Educator’s Toolbox” found on the Cobb Institute website. Jay McDaniel has provided 20 Key Ideas as a springboard for discussing process thought as well as thoughts on a process worldview. The circle will conclude with a 90-minute question and answer session (Going Deeper) with Dr. McDaniel. \n\n\n\nNo prior knowledge of process thought is required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:Learning Circle: Process & World-Building in Dune Messiah
DESCRIPTION:A 4-Session Book Group Exploring Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah Through a Process-Relational Lens\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThrough the intersections of environment\, religion\, self identity\, and government\, participants in this learning circle will explore themes of environment\, terrain\, and traveling through the religious life. \n\n\n\nOur reading of Dune Messiah will consider process themes found in Whitehead’s Process and Reality\, while engaging with care to not overlay process theology on Herbert’s work. Rather\, the conversation series will consider elements of Herbert’s world-building that are shared with Whitehead’s philosophy of organism. In the consideration\, careful attention will be paid to the impediments to process principles in the establishment of institutions of any type. \n\n\n\nSome experience with Whitehead’s philosophy is preferred but not required. Dune Messiah will be read over four weeks\, with excerpts from Whitehead coupled with each reading. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Sam Coker
DESCRIPTION:Topic: John Coltrane’s Love Supreme: A Process Approach to (Popular) Music. \n\n\n\nPresenters: Sam Coker \n\n\n\nArguably a dominant “religion” of contemporary culture is popular music: jazz\, rock\, metal\, indie\, rap\, country\, etc. People form identities and communities around it\, and enjoy touches of transcendence while listening to it. It is\, in a certain sense\, the sacred scripture for many around the world: albeit sonic not textual. Recently Sam Coker\, a recent graduate of Garrett-Evangelical seminary\, with a Master of Divinity and a Master of Theological Studies\, wrote a thesis on theology and popular music. His research interests include hermeneutics and the intersection of contemporary theology and music\, which culminated in a master’s thesis entitled “Keeping Time: A Theological Reading of Temporality in Popular Music.” Building upon that MA thesis\, he will explore the role of popular music in contemporary culture\, in dialogue with Jay McDaniel\, who was Sam’s professor of religious studies at Hendrix College. Using samples from jazz to metal music\, they will discuss (1) how music works with a yearning for restoration with the divine reality and can\, at times\, embody that restoration in sonic form; (2) how music elicits a dual dialectic of the apophatic and cataphatic; and (3) how temporality itself\, understood as a lived passage from present to past to future\, is at the heart of all music.   \n\n\n\nIn developing his themes\, he uses John Coltrane’s Love Supreme as one of his examples. Sam will introduce the themes and Jay will link with process thought. Sam currently lives in Chicago and splits his time between working in the chaplain’s office at a senior living facility and as a barista at a midsize coffee company. In his spare time\, he listens to tons of music\, goes to a lot of concerts\, and collects vinyl records. He is excited to collaborate with Dr. Jay McDaniel\, who was Sam’s professor of religious studies at Hendrix College.   \n\n\n\nHe is a certified candidate for ordained ministry in the United Methodist Church and one day hopes to pursue a doctoral degree in theology and ethics.To further get acquainted with Sam Coker\, see this link to his thesis: https://www.proquest.com/docview/2819964804. Or check out his metal article here:https://www.openhorizons.org/metal-music-a-hunger-for-transgressive-spiritual-spaces.html. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Mary Elizabeth Moore
DESCRIPTION:Topic: To Repair Earth\, Learn from Trees\, Ants\, and Diverse Humans! \n\n\n\nPresenters: Mary Elizabeth Moore \n\n\n\nCobb Institute Board Member\, Dr. Mary Elizabeth Moore\, will share her thoughts presented in her keynote address to the International Academy of Practical Theology\, in Seoul\, Korea in June 2023. The conference focused on practical wisdom in the Anthropocene. Dr. Moore asks\, “What do trees\, ants\, and diverse human communities teach about the natural world and its care? The year 2023 offered the hottest spring and summer on record for the Northern Hemisphere; animals\, forests\, and people died in shocking numbers in the landmark heat. Such a year is a non-gentle reminder of the urgency of ecological understanding and action. Familiar tropes are no longer adequate to provide guidance. The planet insists that humans face critical questions: how will we deepen our knowing and understanding and how will we find the requisite courage and capacities to protect\, heal\, and repair the earth and solar system?” She argues that the place to begin is with the non-human natural world and the peoples who live closest to the earth. “In my current work\, I turn particularly to trees\, ants\, and diverse human communities to upturn anthropocentric\, individualistic\, and industrial-technocratic dominance.” \n\n\n\nMary Elizabeth Moore\, is Dean Emeritus of Boston University School of Theology and chair of the Cobb Institute’s Strategic Planning process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Lynn DeJonghe
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Critical Thinking as an Integrative Process:  Debating Wolves in Yellowstone. \n\n\n\nPresenters: Lynn DeJonghe \n\n\n\nA frequent presenter for Cobb Institute on educational matters\, Lynn DeJonghe will share the lecture she gave at this month’s International Whitehead Conference in Munich.  She thinks of this as the “missing 15th chapter” of her book\, Starting with Whitehead:  Raising Children to Thrive in Treacherous Times (Hamilton Books\, a subsidiary of Rowman & Littlefield.)  She brings Whitehead’s wisdom to the educational task by reflecting on the experience of 8th graders debating this resolution:  \n\n\n\n\n“Resolved: In light of the successful reintegration of gray wolves into Yellowstone Park and surrounding areas\, gray wolves should be removed from the endangered species list in Wyoming\, Montana\, and Idaho.” \n\n\n\n\nDr. Lynn Sargent De Jonghe has had a long career in progressive education that spans more than forty years. She served as the founding Head of East Bay Sierra School\, which later merged with another school to form Prospect Sierra School\, to become one of the preeminent schools in the San Francisco Bay Area. Prior to her work in independent schools\, Lynn spent fifteen years in public education administering federal funds to innovative programs\, advocating for project learning as an alternative to textbooks\, and pushing for integration in Massachusetts schools. She received her BA degree in History from Harvard University and a MS in Library Science from Simmons College before completing her PhD in Education at Cornell University. Her doctoral work on children’s problem solving led her to push for challenging educational programs that encourage all students to pursue learning in depth and to use problem solving skills\, collaborative learning\, and exploration of values in an integrated curriculum. More broadly she is committed to social justice\, to moving society from divisiveness to compassion\, and to saving the sentient and becoming-sentient life on our planet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.
