Science and Spirit

This experiential course focuses on science itself as a source of wonder, contemplation, and transformative meaning. Challenging the stereotypes that paint spirituality and science as incompatible, participants will travel between first-person experiences, depictions of the Cosmos, and key developing areas of science. This course will help to re-kindle the aptitude we all have for scientific inquiry, tapping into the joy of first-hand explorations of phenomena and perceptions. Students will take a “highlights tour” of the Universe as it has been collectively described by generations of inquirers and focus on key unsolved areas of science that offer spiritual, existential and ethical pathways towards new meanings
