SUMMARY:Healing Our Collective Pain with Sheri Kling (Session 1/2)
DESCRIPTION:Healing Our Collective Pain: Worldviews\, Dreamwork\, and Transformation \nThis is a two-part workshop with Sheri Kling on November 12 and 19 at 7PM ET. One registration grants access to both sessions. \nWe are a fragmented people in deep pain. In the West – and especially in the United States  – we are divided societally\, as evidenced in our political polarization and the rise of hate groups\, we are divided interpersonally as evidenced in increasing loneliness and isolation\, and we are divided intrapersonally\, as is evidenced by the exploding usage of antidepressants and the correlation between early adverse childhood experience and adult suffering and illness. \nEvery day the world seems to tell us that we are isolated individuals struggling to matter\, to belong\, and to change our negative experiences. If we are to move toward wholeness societally\, interpersonally\, and intrapersonally\, neither religion nor psychological theory and practice are enough because the very worldview that we are swimming in as a culture – materialistic dualism – is a major reason for the splitting we experience. Could there be a way to look at both cosmos and psyche that promotes wholeness rather than separation? \nWhether the topic is politics\, racism\, or climate change and environmental destruction\, the hard truth is that we cannot effect a change in the popular imagination with facts and reason alone. In this workshop\, Sheri D. Kling will offer new ways to look at both cosmos and psyche and show how a spiritual practice of dream work can be an embodied\, transformational practice that reveals a Reality that shows us that we matter\, we belong\, and we can experience positive change. \nAgenda \nTuesday\, November 12\, Session 1: Worldviews\, Fragmentation & Integration – in this session we’ll discuss the problem of fragmentation\, the worldviews that seem to foster it\, and introduce the integrating resources available from the thinking of Alfred North Whitehead and Carl Gustav Jung. \nTuesday\, November 19\, Session 2: Dreams & Transformation – in this session we’ll explore dream work as an embodied spiritual practice for transformation and how dreams may actually be encounters with God in the world and in our lives. \nAbout the Speaker \nSheri D. Kling\, Ph.D.\, is the director of Process & Faith with the Center for Process Studies and interim minister of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Bradenton\, FL.  Sheri earned her Ph.D. in Religion: Process Studies from Claremont School of Theology and her MATS from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. She is a theologian\, songwriter\, and spiritual teacher who draws from wisdom and mystical traditions\, relational worldviews\, depth psychology\, and the intersection of spirituality and science to help people find meaning\, belonging\, and transformation. Sheri is a faculty member of the Haden Institute\, adjunct faculty with Claremont School of Theology\, and the author of A Process Spirituality: Christian and Transreligious Resources for Transformation as well as a contributor to several other books. She regularly delivers dynamic “Music & Message” presentations to groups\, and offers courses\, concerts\, and spiritual retreats. Sheri may be found online at sherikling.com.

SUMMARY:Teilhard's Omega Point: Does Evolution Have Direction?
DESCRIPTION:Jesuit scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin proposed a cosmic vision of evolution governed by the principle of Omega.  Confusion around his use of this symbol has led to speculative ideas\, including a terminal point of evolution. \nIn this talk\, Ilia will explore Teilhard’s notion of Omega as a governing principle of increasing complexity and consciousness\, accompanied by increasing spirit and the energy of love. The Omega principle provides a framework to discuss a possible direction of evolution. \nHow to participate? \n\nJoin Steve McIntosh’s Zoom group – the Zoom group is a monthly forum on the evolution of consciousness and culture. Steve and his guests focus on philosophy\, politics\, spirituality\, and related topic of intellectual interest to the group. Through conversation and fellowship\, we’re building a free cultural space for the exploration of integral consciousness.
