Global Spiritual Traditions 1 is the first of a 2-part series.

While engaging with the world’s knowledge, beliefs, traditions, scriptures, and practices, the curriculum incorporates lecture, dyad shares, various art projects, and site visits to appeal to our many ways of integrating and practicing new learning.
