SUMMARY:Course: Nouwen & the Trinity with Dr. Robert Jonas
DESCRIPTION:What does St. Paul mean when he maintains that we have “the mind of Christ” (1 Cor. 2:16)?  What did renowned spiritual writer Henri Nouwen mean in calling us to the “life of the beloved?” Following a trail of scriptural sayings\, as well as the teachings of ancient Christian mystics\, and stories from Yale Divinity School professor Henri Nouwen\, Dr. Jonas\, long-time friend of Nouwen\, explores the possibility that any of us can discover and awaken the mind (Greek: nous) of Christ. In his award-winning new book\, My Dear Far-Nearness: The Holy Trinity as Spiritual Practice (Orbis\, 2022)\, Jonas suggests that Jesus’ consciousness was trinitarian and non-dual. With attention and practice\, this consciousness can– through the grace of God– be awakened in us\, as well. By casting a clear\, fresh light on the doctrine of the Holy Trinity\, this presentation will support people in ministry\, in addition to helping professionals who walk with others. By offering accessible\, down-to-earth spiritual practices\, this presentation will show us how to deepen our connection to God in the midst of our daily lives\, and how to draw from the well of grace as we encounter the demands and challenges of ministry. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Seeking with a Pure Heart: Adventures in Buddhist-Christian Encounter
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: \n\n\nIn this freely-offered\, dana-based program\, over three afternoon sessions\, Dr. Robert Jonas and Dr. Mark Unno will offer an experiential learning opportunity in Buddhist-Christian Encounter. With nearly three-quarters of a century of combined experience in Buddhist-Christian dialogue and practice\, Jonas and Unno will provide: \n1) An overview of the history of Buddhist-Christian Dialogue; \n2) Accounts of first-hand experiences with key figures in Buddhist-Christian dialogue and their contributions; \n3) Guided Contemplative Practices that reflect multiple religious belonging and influences; \n4) Demonstrations through expert live performance of Zen flute (Shakuhachi) by Jonas and Buddhist Chanting (Shin Buddhism) by Unno; \n5) Participants will be encouraged to engage in active contributions through sharing their own experiences in Buddhist-Christian encounters as well as questions and comments they would like to offer. \nJonas comes from a rich background in Carmelite Christianity and Zen Buddhist practice and flute mastery\, and Unno\, the current President of the Society for Buddhist-Christian Studies\, is steeped in the Shin tradition of chanting and will bring to life colorful accounts of his own encounters. \nRobert and Mark are generously offering all dana from this program in support of BCBS. \nMore Info & Register

SUMMARY:Dennis Slatttery
DESCRIPTION:Dear Empty Bell friends\, We’ll kick off our Fall\, ’22 gatherings with a fascinating\, wisdom-provoking visit by Dennis Patrick Slattery\, who describes himself as an Oblate at New Camaldoli Hermitage in Big Sur. Yet this identity barely scratches the surface of a man with great depth and creativity. \nDennis is a Distinguished Core Faculty-member at Pacifica Graduate Institute\, a training ground for Jungian analysts. He teaches the Greek classics (e.g.\, the Iliad and the Odyssey)\, and explores our personal myths in over thirty books. In Dennis’ experience\, the ancient Greeks aren’t the only ones whose inner lives are populated by myths\, archetypes\, and deities. He invites us to explore the personal myths that circulate within and beneath our conscious lives\, giving us ultimate meaning and a way forward. \nI am currently enjoying Dennis’ Day-To-Day Dante: Exploring Personal Myth Through the Divine Comedy\, and A Pilgrimage Beyond Belief: Spiritual Journeys Through Christian and Buddhist Monasteries of the American West. \nI hope you can join us!
