Seminary of the Southwest: Spirituality and the Arts Course - Guest Facilitator (CLOSED EVENT)

COURSE DESCRIPTION: "In this course, we will explore the connection between spirituality and  creative expression — an active engagement with the arts — both by  surveying literature on creativity from the spiritual traditions and the  social sciences and by experimenting with the process of making in  various media. Thematic emphases will include: creative expression as a  way to nurture a sense of connectedness, as a form of prayer, as a  method of practicing trust, as a way to make meaning, and as a force for  healing and whole-making. Class format will include a series of  workshops facilitated by spirituality-oriented practitioners in the  arts, followed by opportunities for reflection. Note: Proficiency  in any artform is not required. Our focus will be on the spiritual  gifts of the process of making rather than on the perfection of  techniques or final products." - Claire Miller Colombo, Ph.D., Seminary of the Southwest: Assistant Professor of Writing, Theology, and the Arts, Director, Center for Writing and Creative Expression
