January & July 2022, 2 credit hours
Global Spiritual Traditions 1 is the first of a 2-part series. These courses introduce students to World Religions and/or spiritual paths that have their origins in earth-centered, indigenous practice (Africa, Pagan, First Nation and other indigenous worldviews), or ancient Eastern philosophy and belief systems (Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism). While engaging with the world’s knowledge, beliefs, traditions, scriptures, and practices, the curriculum incorporates lecture, dyad shares, various art projects, and site visits to appeal to our many ways of integrating and practicing new learning.
* This course is required for all Interfaith Chaplaincy students but also open to others. There is additional online study required for completion of this course.
