Jared will share his own experiences of the spiritual and physical practices central to this holiday\, dwelling on the ways that this month of fasting offers opportunities for connecting more deeply with Muslim community\, the natural world\, and the Divine. He will also share the origins and the history of Ramadan\, drawing connections with other religious communities and practices. \nRather than just introducing the basic features of this central Islamic practice\, Jared will draw connections between aspects of Ramadan and central values and themes present in process thought. Through presenting Ramadan from both personal and academic perspectives\, Jared hopes to share insights and make connections that may be taken up by Muslims and non-Muslims alike and carried forward long after Ramadan 2025 has concluded. \n \n Learn More & RSVP URL:https://ctr4process.org/event/process-explorations-the-practice-spirituality-and-history-of-ramadan-with-jared-morningstar/ CATEGORIES:Presentation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ctr4process.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/5.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250318T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250318T173000 DTSTAMP:20260406T045252 CREATED:20250317T153353Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250317T154443Z UID:10000006-1742313600-1742319000@ctr4process.org SUMMARY:Teilhard and Whitehead on Hope with Jay McDaniel and Ernie Tamminga DESCRIPTION:We live in a time of need\, where people throughout the world seek visions of hope. This discussion explores the shared vision of Teilhard de Chardin and Alfred North Whitehead\, both of whom see the universe as an evolutionary process with inwardness or subjectivity present from the very beginning. Teilhard emphasizes a cosmic pull toward the Omega Point\, where love becomes all-encompassing\, and describes the emergence of the noosphere—a sphere of collective human thought and consciousness—as a critical phase in this evolution. Whitehead\, similarly\, envisions a divine lure guiding all actual entities toward richer experiences and individuation\, suggesting that love and creativity are not incidental to the cosmos but intrinsic to its unfolding. Tamminga and McDaniel will explore ways in which the two perspectives can be combined to form a meaningful\, scientifically informed\, and spiritually rich vision for human beings at this critical stage in history. \nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n \n RSVP via Zoom URL:https://ctr4process.org/event/teilhard-and-whitehead-on-hope-with-jay-mcdaniel-and-ernie-tamminga/ CATEGORIES:Presentation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ctr4process.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Teilhard-and-Whitehead-on-Hope-Header.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250325T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250325T120000 DTSTAMP:20260406T045252 CREATED:20250317T142140Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250322T204222Z UID:10000005-1742896800-1742904000@ctr4process.org SUMMARY:Process Explorations: The US and its Global Leadership for Refugees with Eric Shafer\, Sid Mohn\, and Karla Leitzman DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of World War 2\, the United States emerged as a leader in the resettlement of persons displaced by war. With the birth of the United Nations\, the global community articulated a commitment to the protection of refugees to which the US was party\, and which was ultimately codified into U.S. law in 1980. The Trump Administration in its first term significantly reduced refugee admissions and within the initial weeks of Trump’s second Administration\, all refugee admissions were suspended. The Rev. Dr. Sid Mohn\, The Rev. Eric Shafer\, and Karla Leitzman will join us for a discussion of the history of refugee resettlement and its current realities. \n \n Learn More & RSVP URL:https://ctr4process.org/event/process-explorations-the-us-and-its-global-leadership-for-refugees-with-eric-shafer-sid-mohn-and-karla-leitzman/ CATEGORIES:Presentation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ctr4process.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/5.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250327T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250327T120000 DTSTAMP:20260406T045252 CREATED:20250312T181209Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250328T183214Z UID:10000003-1743071400-1743076800@ctr4process.org SUMMARY:Philosophy\, Cultural Evolution\, and the Hemisphere Hypothesis: A Lecture and Dialogue between Iain McGilchrist and Steve McIntosh DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for Process Studies and the Institute for Cultural Evolution for an engaging webinar featuring the pioneering neuroscientist and philosopher Iain McGilchrist\, alongside integral philosopher Steve McIntosh.
