Panentheism is a term that comes out of a type of theology known as "process theology."
"Panentheism says that all is in God, somewhat as if God were the ocean and we were fish. If one considers what is in God's body to be part of God, then we can say that God is all there is and then some. The universe is God's body, but God's awareness or personality is greater than the sum of all the parts of the universe. All the parts have some degree of freedom in co-creating with God. "
The website I post below has a discussion of panentheism, especially explaining the difference between it and pantheism.
I am also posting the link to the Center for Process Studies which has resources you might like to look at.

the same as pantheism, or essentially so
the idea that all is God or all is in God, or that we are all part of God
