Stress, fear, and dread, though natural responses to uncertainty, can block human flourishing. Yet regardless of our present circumstances or painful past, the dynamic and creative flow of life that some call God is as near as our breath.

In the morning session of this virtual retreat day, psycho-spiritual theologian Sheri D. Kling, Ph.D. will remind us that God’s radical incarnation in every moment is the source of novel whole-making possibilities, transformation, and holy resilience. This time will be largely teaching and discussion.

In the afternoon, Sheri will lead us through a contemplative practice she developed called Dream Divina to allow us to better understand one of our own dreams and experience a bit of that whole-making nearness of God for ourselves. This time together will be interactive, as we participate in unfolding one another's dreams, images and symbols. Don't be shy - take a few notes and bring in some of your own mysterious night visions!

Process Theology
In his article, "Process Theology", John S. Feinberg explains, "At a time when non-evangelical theologians thought it impossible to craft a system of theology, in part because it seemed impossible to construct an internally consistent conceptual scheme that covered all of reality, Whitehead proposed a system of theology based on a different metaphysical understanding of the universe than the one underlying traditional Christian theism. Whereas Classical Christian theism seemed to necessitate that the world is filled with static and unmoving things, Whitehead’s metaphysic proposed the opposite. The universe is not made up of static entities, but rather is filled with things that are in the process of change and becoming. In fact, for Whitehead and his followers, everything is in flux."

Whether you find this paragraph intriguingly complex and deliciously deep, or a real, "Whaaaaat the heck...?!?!" - you'll enjoy diving in with Sheri. Come join us to make the 'wildly out-there' into an intimate 'in here' moment of absorbing ideas and feelings about God in a newly expanded way. Sheri will bring us all along with plenty of time for questions and discussion.
