HD565 The Use of Ritual to Celebrate Life (1 cr.)


Humans are ritualistic creatures; yet for some, religious ritual has become meaningless, and for others, nonexistent. The premise of this class is that certain kinds of nondenominational ritual can help heal isolation by connecting people with themselves, with nature, with others, and with the sacred. Students explore the purpose and structure of such ritual, with an emphasis on small group and individual ritual. In addition to reading and discussion, students experience and evaluate ritual in class, consider the myriad ways ritual can be used in personal and professional life, and begin to create their own ritual.
