For this special Integral Stage episode, Layman meets with process philosopher and theologian, Andrew Davis, to discuss the import and impact of Whitehead's thought on contemporary philosophy; his nondual (panentheistic) conception of the relationship of God and man; the priority of becoming over being; the ontological status of value; the nature of religion; the importance of contemplative practice, psychedelic experience, and the cultivation of flow states for the embodiment of process insights; process cosmology and the question of the multiverse; and much more.

Andrew M. Davis is a philosopher, theologian, and scholar of world religions. He holds B.A. in Philosophy and Theology, an M.A. in Interreligious Studies, and a Ph.D. in Religion and Process Philosophy from Claremont School of Theology (CST). He is a poet, aphorist and author or editor of four books including How I Found God in Everyone and Everywhere: An Anthology of Spiritual Memoirs (2018, with Philip Clayton); Propositions in the Making: Experiments in a Whiteheadian Laboratory (2019, with Roland Faber and Michael Halewood); Depths as Yet Unspoken: Whiteheadian Excursions in Mysticism, Multiplicity, and Divinity (2020, with Roland Faber); and Mind, Value, and Cosmos: On the Relational Nature of Ultimacy (Lexington).
