Spirituality Matters

Fee: $60 | Five Weeks
Spirituality is a common concern, one that has significance throughout the details of a person’s life.  But what is spirituality, really?  Why is it important? And how does one live a spiritual life?  

ENROLL NOW

Join us in discussing these important questions, as we seek to understand how it’s less about having spiritual experiences and more about experiencing life as a whole person (intellect, will, and emotion) in a spiritual way. Examine how practices of prayer and community, as well as the experience of suffering, can help to liberate our imaginations, and show us reality in a new way.

The readings and the faith journeys of the other participants helped to reinforce my own personal faith. The entire online course has honestly motivated me to spend more time in centering prayer. I have also begun to read other resources to help me remain mindful and centered on God throughout the day. Thank you for offering this practical course.    ~ Participant, Spring 2012  

Thank you for providing your on-line classes. I live in a rural area and seldom have an opportunity to take a class that supports my faith. This is a wonderful ministry. You have touched many people -- not only the participants, but also the people whose lives they touch!    ~ Participant, Fall 2011
