As a rabbi and a psychotherapist with an interest in psychedelics this course seems to be addressing many of the questions I’ve been asking myself. Great intro looking forward to the rest of the course.
Now this is the type of community the world needs!!
GTUx’s Certificate of Completion for Ecospirituality: Environmental Pathways to Healing is a professional development program that weaves together our spiritual connection to the natural world and planetary sustainability efforts. In this GTUx program, Dr. Rita Sherma offers insights from her research and invites guest speakers to discuss how we might newly define the relationship between the Earth and spirituality.
This GTUx Original explores how narratives serve as methodological tools for self-reflection and moral biography, expressing religious underpinnings of identity, faith, and justice stances to foster community organizing and social reform strategies.
We will explore the varied ways in which the natural world, or the “other than human world,” has been imagined and experienced through embodied practices and creative acts throughout American history. The course will examine indigenous ways of knowing and understanding that situate the human integrally within the broader planetary community.
This GTUx Original delves into the ongoing ramifications and limited public scrutiny surrounding the influences of biblical symbolism and theological rhetoric on violence justification. Engage with diverse sources to deliberate the crafting of theological and ethical narratives within faith communities and the public sphere, aiming to counter separatist rhetoric. Validating lived experiences, we investigate how narratives serve as methodological tools for self-reflection and moral biography, expressing religious underpinnings of identity, faith, and justice stances. Join us as we emphasize the importance of public narrative sharing in fostering community organizing and social reform strategies.
