Section Information for Spring 2013
This course will explore the ground-breaking work of UCLA scholars Alexander and Helen Astin which was published as Cultivating the Spirit: How College Can Enhance Students’ Inner Lives (Jossey-Bass, 2011). We will explore the science and applications of the five dimensions of “spirituality” that they discovered in their extensive research investigation with tens of thousands of college students: meaning, equanimity, ethic of caring, charitable involvement, and ecumenical worldview. And we will learn specific practices to support personal well-being – practices which have the potential to cultivate some or all five of the dimensions of spirituality. This is a hybrid course with 80% as classroom activity and 20% as distance-learning modules. The classroom sessions are mornings and afternoons Tuesday, January 15 through Saturday the 19th, plus a 2-hour mid-semester class meeting on Saturday, March 23, plus a two-hour session during final exams on Saturday, May 11.View 4 Other Sections of this Course in this Semester »
