OPEN COURSES & ELECTIVES
Open Courses at The Chaplaincy Institute are focused on a special topic within spirituality and spiritual care. As in our certificate programs, we bring an interfaith perspective to the focus of the course.
Anyone drawn to explore that topic is welcome! No previous experience required.
All course credit may be applied to Chaplaincy Program requirements, in the event of later enrollment.
Course fees depend upon enrollment status but not-for-credit fees are listed on registration form. Please request details on course fees from Admissions Manager 510-843-1422. You can register for Open Courses at the link below:

“I wanted to thank you so much for the incredible experience I had at CHI . I am still processing it, but it was really life-changing for me. The experience of being in such a vibrant and compassionate community felt for me very much like being a winter crocus blossoming through the snow, from rich soil into the sunlight. I felt so nourished and alive. And I believe that everyone there felt something similar, in whatever way he or she needed all managed with a real undercurrent of joy and compassion that radiates throughout the entire program. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you.”
