He demonstrates the incompatibility between the supernaturalistic worldview and the scientific worldview\, and maintains that supernaturalism perpetuates rather than solves the problems of theodicy and divine hiddenness.  \nAs a solution\, Bahl argues for a process naturalist view of God—one which sees God as relational\, persuasive and embedded within the natural world. Bahl is an emerging voice in the process theology community. In this Process Pop-Up\, we’ll explore the core ideas in this text. \nLearn More & RSVP URL:https://ctr4process.org/event/process-pop-up-the-death-of-supernaturalism/ CATEGORIES:Presentation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ctr4process.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/The-Death-of-Supernaturalism-Header.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260113T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260113T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T111506 CREATED:20260205T033935Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260307T060809Z UID:10000053-1768298400-1768305600@ctr4process.org SUMMARY:Special Event Featuring the Graduates of the 2025 Certificate Program in Process Thought and Practice DESCRIPTION: URL:https://ctr4process.org/event/process-explorations-2026-01-13/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ctr4process.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Special-Event-Featuring-the-Graduates-of-the-2025-Certificate-in-Process-Thought-and-Practice-Header-1536x710-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260113T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260113T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T111506 CREATED:20251218T061955Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251218T063052Z UID:10000042-1768323600-1768327200@ctr4process.org SUMMARY:Cultivating the Future University: Eco-Art\, Healing\, and Pedagogy in the Healing Garden DESCRIPTION:In this SPARKS Exchange\, artist and educator Lipeng Jin invites you into the story of the “Healing Garden”—an evolving eco-art and pedagogical experiment at the Sichuan Fine Art Institute\, China. More than a campus garden\, the Healing Garden is a living laboratory reimagining the university’s role in an era of ecological crisis: How can higher education become a force for planetary healing and community renewal? \nDrawing inspiration from Thomas Berry’s vision of the University as a bridge to the Universe\, the Healing Garden brings the living world—soil\, water\, plants\, animals\, and people—into the heart of academic life. The project moves beyond symbolic gestures\, engaging students and faculty in hands-on acts of ecological and social repair: composting campus waste into fertile earth\, co-creating mandala gardens and mobile chicken coops\, and transforming kitchens into spaces of communal care and ritual. Through practices of permaculture\, social sculpture\, and deep listening\, the Healing Garden models a “future university” as a sensory organ and steward for its local bioregion\, nurturing both inner and outer landscapes. \nJoin us to explore how art\, ecology\, and education can converge to cultivate hope\, resilience\, and belonging in our time of planetary transition. \nSPARKS Exchange is a monthly online gathering that features a presentation by and dialogue with an artist\, as well as an interactive art exchange in which attendees have the opportunity to participate in an activity that sparks their creativity.

Drawing from Hindu Devotional Vedanta\, psychology\, modern science\, and mystical insights from multiple traditions\, he reimagines the spiritual journey as a process of ever-deepening relationship—with the Divine\, with the world\, and with our evolving selves. \nFar from portraying divinity as distant or static\, Swami Padmanabha encourages us to see Ultimate Reality as both changeless and ever-new\, infinite and intimate\, perfect and perpetually becoming—animated by the same love that pulses through every corner of creation. Through this lens\, he invites us to view reality not as a closed system\, but as a living\, breathing process of growth\, beauty\, and co-creative transformation. \nIn this Process Pop-Up\, Swami Padmanabha will discuss the ideas in Evolution in Divine Love. Whether you’re a spiritual seeker\, interfaith explorer\, psychologist\, theologian\, or simply someone yearning to live from a deeper source\, he offers a radical invitation: to see the cosmos—and yourself—as an ever-unfolding love story. \n \n Learn More & RSVP URL:https://ctr4process.org/event/process-pop-up-evolution-in-divine-love/ CATEGORIES:Presentation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ctr4process.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Evolution-in-Divine-Love-Header.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260203T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260203T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T111506 CREATED:20260205T040939Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260331T055925Z UID:10000057-1770112800-1770120000@ctr4process.org SUMMARY:Just a Little Walk with Jesus: A Lenten Adventure | Bruce Epperly DESCRIPTION: URL:https://ctr4process.org/event/process-explorations-2026-02-03/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ctr4process.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Bruce-Epperly-Just-a-Little-Walk-with-Jesus-A-Lenten-Adventure-Header-1536x710-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260207T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260207T183000 DTSTAMP:20260403T111506 CREATED:20260124T015737Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260204T231351Z UID:10000045-1770483600-1770489000@ctr4process.org SUMMARY:John B. Cobb Jr.: An Eco-Sage of Our Time | Online Memorial Gathering DESCRIPTION:To mark the first anniversary of the passing of John B. Cobb Jr.\, this online memorial gathering is convened to honor his life\, his enduring legacy\, and the living influence of his thought. It will offer a quiet and heartfelt space for remembrance\, reflection\, and gratitude as well. Simultaneous interpretation in English and Chinese will be provided. \nOne year has passed since John left us physically\, yet his presence has not faded. If anything\, it has become more deeply felt—through the questions we continue to ask\, the commitments we continue to hold\, and the paths we are still trying to walk with integrity and care. This first anniversary feels like a particularly meaningful moment to pause together\, to remember him\, and to reflect on how his life and thought continue to guide us. \nThis commemoration is not intended as a formal memorial alone\, but as a shared space of remembrance\, gratitude\, and renewed orientation. We hope to honor John not only by recalling his extraordinary contributions as a thinker and teacher\, but also by acknowledging how he shaped us as colleagues\, companions\, and fellow travelers committed to the well-being of life on Earth. \nMeijun FanChina Project Co-DirectorCenter for Process Studies \nAgenda\n\nOpening & Moment of Silence\nWhy We Gather\nA Life of Thought and Practice\nPersonal Remembrances\nCobb’s Relevance for Our Time\nTrusting Life: A Shared Moment\nCarrying Forward\nClosing\n\n  \nRSVP for this Event \n\n"*" indicates required fields \n\n EmailThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged. \n\nName*\n \n First\n \n Last\n \n\nEmail*\n \n Enter Email\n \n Confirm Email\n \n\nSign up for the Center for Process Studies Newsletter\n \n Sign up for the Center for Process Studies newsletter URL:https://ctr4process.org/event/john-b-cobb-jr-an-eco-sage-of-our-time-online-memorial-gathering/ CATEGORIES:Celebration,Memorial ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ctr4process.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/John-B.-Cobb-Jr.-An-Eco-Sage-of-Our-Time-Header.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260210T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260210T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T111506 CREATED:20260211T214138Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260307T030653Z UID:10000060-1770717600-1770724800@ctr4process.org SUMMARY:Imagination\, Ritual\, and Non-Ordinary Experiences | Jared Morningstar DESCRIPTION: URL:https://ctr4process.org/event/process-explorations-2026-02-10/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ctr4process.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Jared-Morningstar-Imagination-Ritual-and-Non-Ordinary-Experiences-Header-1536x710-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260210T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260210T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T111506 CREATED:20260129T014837Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260206T012044Z UID:10000046-1770742800-1770746400@ctr4process.org SUMMARY:The Creative Spark of a Spirit-Forward Artist DESCRIPTION:Hope Montgomery is a musician\, songwriter\, and visual artist.

Can pre–modern practices be revitalized and re-imagined to address modern concerns? \nRabbi Leila Gal Berner and Sheri D. Kling strongly believe that there is still something life-giving in both ancient texts and pre-modern practices\, and that both can come alive in dynamic ways while still being grounded in timeless wisdom. \nOnce Rabbi Berner was introduced to the Christian contemplative practice of lectio divina—a Latin phrase meaning “sacred reading”—she immediately fell in love with its ability to drop her into a living experience of biblical text. She wanted other Jews to have that same experience\, and created a uniquely Jewish expression of lectio divina that she has named Kriat Hakodesh (Reading the Holy) reflected in her book\, Listening to the Heart of Genesis: A Contemplative Path.  \nSheri Kling has had similar experiences with Christian contemplative practices\, and has refashioned three of them—lectio divina\, praying with icons\, and praying with the imagination—into a transreligious practice she calls Dream Divina.

These two streams are noticeable in virtually all traditions but the former seems to have gained more attention at the expense of the latter which offers a more robust and insightful framework for codifying reality. The metaphysical framework of substance has been elevated as absolute and universal in humanity’s comprehension of the self and the world. That metaphysical framework fails in providing a springboard on topics such as value and conscious nature of all ontological entities. As a result\, topics such as the cellular basis of consciousness or biopsychism in plant neurobiology\, panpsychism and its impact over the inter-relationship among all entities for environmental stability have not received penetrating and convincing analysis from the substance-based perspective. This is why an alternative framework in process metaphysics as broadly construed in all religious and philosophic traditions – African\, Oriental\, Anglo-American\, and Continental become pertinent.  \nIn its most commonly shared formulation\, process philosophy\, regardless of tradition\, lays emphasis on vital force\, flux\, biopsychism\, dynamism\, relationality and interconnection among entities such that nothing stands in isolation (see Mesle 2008; Ivakhkiv 2018). Among process philosophers\, there is a shared acknowledgement that reality is ‘becoming’ and an interconnected web such that no event stands in isolation. Process philosophers eschew the mainstream and dominant outlook in traditional metaphysics that changelessness implies perfection (see Rescher 1996; Mesle 2008). Extant scholarship offers a more robust explanation for topics like ecology (Ivakhiv 2018; Maffie 2015; McLeod 2023)\, consciousness (Griffin 2007; Raud 2021; Zu 2025)\, agency (Valmisa 2025)\, relationality (Chimakonam & Ogbonnaya 2021; Maffie 2015; McLeod 2023)\, mystical experiences (Dambrowski 2023)\, and Being (Ofuasia 2024). These are hot topics that signal the importance of such metaphysics for contemporary scholarship. In spite of this common ground\, process scholars in the afore-mentioned philosophical traditions have never engaged one another critically. \nThis conference will therefore be the first to birth this long overdue intellectual exchange as it offers an improved metaphysical framework for value and consciousness in all ontological entities to address various concerns that are facing humanity: economy\, political\, and environmental. Although there are hesitant answers to some of these global challenges facing humanity\, the influence of substance-based analysis has yet to offer penetrative answers\, in addition to the almost complete lack of interaction among scholars of process to explore their common ground for a common voice in the way that substance thought has done over the centuries. \nThere are no registration fees but all participants and observers must register before they can get the links to the talks/panels. This will be communicated in due course. For further information\, please relate with Dr. Chukwueloka Uduagwu via email: cuduagwu@noun.edu.ng.

Zhuhai is a vibrant coastal city in southern China\, located on the Pearl River Delta neighboring Macau and Hong Kong. \nThis global gathering of scholars\, educators\, and practitioners marks a pivotal moment to engage Alfred North Whitehead’s philosophy in dialogue with the pressing challenges and transformative opportunities of the 21st century. The theme of the 2026 International Whitehead Conference is: “Process Philosophy in a Time of Polycrisis: Science\, Meaning\, and Civilization.” The conference will explore how process thought can illuminate the great transitions of our time—toward a more sustainable\, creative\, and compassionate world. \nBuilding on the legacy of previous IWCs\, the Zhuhai conference will highlight Whitehead’s continuing relevance for science and modernization\, the integration of cultural traditions with contemporary innovation\, and the construction of an ecological civilization and a community of shared future for humankind. Supporting China’s vision of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature\, this conference aims to advance creative dialogue between Chinese and global perspectives on civilization\, ecology\, and modernization. \nWith participants expected from more than 15 countries\, the 2026 IWC will combine scholarly rigor with innovative collaborative formats. In addition to academic paper presentations\, participants will engage in interdisciplinary roundtables\, collaborative project incubators\, publication workshops\, and youth/talent cultivation sessions. \n \n Learn More\n \n \n Conference Schedule URL:https://ctr4process.org/event/14th-international-whitehead-conference/ CATEGORIES:Conference ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ctr4process.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/14th-International-Whitehead-Conference-Header.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
