Global Spiritual Traditions and ChI Culture & Foundations 1 is the first of a 2-part series. These
courses introduce students to ChI’s core philosophy and learning approach as well as 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.
