This unique course offers an in-depth analysis of concepts and practices  in contemporary spirituality.  It presents a fascinating marriage of ontology (theories of being) and aesthetics (theories of art).

“Art & Philosophy of the Spirit”

Our contemporary definition of ‘spirit’ is based on the convergence of three streams of knowledge: the impact of Eastern spiritual systems on the West in the 19th century and the parallel re-emergence of the Western stream of esoteric knowledge; followed by a 20th century global culture shaped by Internet technology. In separating ‘the spiritual’ from ‘the religious’, this groundbreaking course investigates a global, culturally inclusive interpretation of contemporary spirituality. Participants are introduced to an unbiased, non-denominational presentation of a sensitive domain. The narrow focus of spiritual systems is defined, and the art tied to practices and philosophies is decoded.
