Healing our Collective Pain: Whitehead, Jung, and Transformation | Sheri Kling
To heal our fragmentation, we must seek an understanding of both the cosmos and the psyche that unifies rather than divides. In this talk, Sheri D. Kling, Ph.D., will offer Whitehead and Jung as integrating resources that reveal a Reality that shows us that we matter, we belong, and we can experience positive change.
The Untrolling Project | Thandeka and Jennifer Jennings
Untrolling America is a new multimedia series created by Thandeka and Jennifer Jennings as part of a grassroots initiative to unite Americans across their partisan divides and cultural war battlefields. Thandeka and Jennifer will ask us to reflect after a screening of the first episode of Untrolling America.
Process Pop-Up: A Tale of Two Narratives: Judeo-Christian Perspectives on Creation and Salvation
This Process Pop-Up explores two major Judeo-Christian grand narratives: Fall/Redemption and Creation/Restoration. Dr. Gayle Hansen Browne will examine the historical development of these narratives, compare their perspectives on key theological themes, and discuss how the narrative Christians adopt shapes their spiritual and everyday lives.
As We Think, We Live: Critical Challenges for Educational Systems and Teachers | Chris Hughes
At the heart of Whitehead’s thinking is a healing unity. For many people a first encounter with Whitehead’s vision is a romance, a felt sense in the body, a shift in the ground under their feet. Whitehead himself saw romance as the first, and necessary, stage of deep learning. I think we can spark such a romance in young people. PROcess is a first attempt in this direction. This session explores both the need and the how of this attempt.
Process Pop-Up: The God of the Growing Edge: Whitehead and Thurman on Theology, Spirituality, and Social Change
In this Pop-Up, Bruce Epperly will draw from his book The God of the Growing Edge: Whitehead and Thurman on Theology, Spirituality, and Social Change to explore the intersecting spiritual visions of two towering figures: Alfred North Whitehead, the eminent philosopher and process theologian, and Howard Thurman, the influential African American mystic, theologian, and civil rights leader.
Process Pop-Up: Psychedelics, Religion, and Transformation
The intersection of psychedelics and Christianity provides an opportunity for spiritual and emotional healing, where psychedelics can mediate profound mystical experiences that deepen rather than diminish Christian faith. These experiences can help Christians overcome fear, connect directly with God's presence, and integrate such encounters into their own lives and ministry, as well as into the ministry of the Church.
Process Pop-Up: A Brief History of God: From Nature Spirits to Cosmic Consciousness
Join Nish Dubashia and Marie Murtagh for an engaging talk on "A Brief History of God: From Nature Spirits to Cosmic Consciousness." Tracing the evolution of human spirituality from ancient beliefs to modern visions of unity and awareness, this conversation blends history, philosophy, and personal insight. Includes a presentation and interactive Q&A inviting reflection on the future of faith, meaning, and consciousness.
Possibility Spaces in Cosmology, Biology, and Beyond
Join us for a fascinating webinar featuring Michael Levin (Tufts University) and George F. R. Ellis (University of Cape Town), moderated by Andrew M. Davis (Center for Process Studies). Together, they will explore the curious and profound question of “possibility spaces”—those unseen domains that shape what can emerge in cosmology, biology, and beyond. What are these possibility spaces? How do we come to know them? In what forms do they exist—and perhaps most intriguingly, why do they exist at all?
World Goodwill Seminar | Envisioning a New Global Culture: The Search for Unity between East and West
How can Chinese wisdom and Whitehead’s philosophy of organism help build a culture of shared humanity and hope—bridging East and West? Center for Process Studies Board Chair, Dr. Jay McDaniel will explore this topic. Also presenting in this session of the seminar is Dr. Jack Bagby, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Consciousness, and Cosmology at the California Institute of Integral Studies.
Process Pop-Up: Eco-Psychology, Plant Medicine, and the Sacred Earth
Join educator Travis Cox for an exploratory webinar discussing the intersections between non-ordinary states of consciousness, our relationships to the more-than-human world, and the connections between human mental health and the health of the living Earth.
Process Pop-Up: The Death of Supernaturalism
In this Process Pop-Up, we’ll explore the core ideas of Chad Bahl’s newest book, The Death of Supernaturalism: The Case for Process Naturalism—a bold theological manifesto that critiques the metaphysical assumptions of supernatural theism. Bahl argues for a process naturalist view of God—one which sees God as relational, persuasive and embedded within the natural world.
Special Event Featuring the Graduates of the 2025 Certificate Program in Process Thought and Practice
In this special event, the students from the 2025 Certificate in Process Thought and Practice will present their springboard projects. Their projects range from artistic expressions of creativity to academic explorations of Whitehead's philosophy. Process thought and practice unify these personal adventures and speak to the transformative power of individual encounters with the process movement.
