Lynch School of Education & Human Development
This course will explore two related questions: 1) What factors constitute optimal human growth and development from the perspective of contemporary psychology and spirituality? And 2) What constitutes a personal spirituality that integrates psychological wellness and spiritual holiness? In interrogating these questions, we will explore: worldviews prevalent in culture today; humanistic thinkers and their attempts to articulate the crucial nexus between human experience, reason, and the sacred; and obstacles to the practices to foster such depth. Along the way, we will also explore various contemporary psycho-social phenomena and their impact on personal and social growth and development.
