Course Director: Marijke Kretzers
Course details:
The perspective of unity is at the heart of the world’s religious and spiritual traditions. Scientists too are increasingly appreciating that everything is interconnected. The course will give you the tools to discover for yourself your own relationship with this truth. It will help you in a safe and fruitful way to gain a firm foundation in this understanding which you can apply to your everyday life.
Structure
The programme combines two residential retreats along with home study modules. The retreats allow you ‘space' away from normal distractions. They offer time to explore and discuss the study material together with your fellow students. The retreats provide an in-depth introduction to meditation and spiritual practice, along with projects undertaken as a group.
There are six home study modules, between four and six-weeks long (with a one or two week break in between). Each week you will be given a series of short readings. In the light of these readings you will be asked to contemplate some questions within the context of your own life. You will also be asked to engage in mindfulness practice. At the end of each module you will complete an essay on a topic related to that module. There is an online forum where you can discuss these questions and the essay topics with your fellow students. You also will have regular telephone or Skype interviews with one of the course facilitators.
