RELS 4800 - Spirituality and the Environment

The course strives towards a deeper understanding of what spiritual connection to the Earth means in today's precarious environmental framework. Spirituality is considered broadly, not only rooted in religious tradition, but an aspect of our lives that speaks to what it means to be human. Facing our growing awareness of unsustainable practices, the workshop will explore changes in human consciousness and examine how Creation narratives from a range of traditions impact our ethics, sensibilities, and responsiveness to stewardship.
