Foundations II: Wisdom from the Margins is a course and community that reflectively studies the life stories and teachings of great spiritual leaders who have impacted the world from the margins. The hope is to open our minds and hearts to those who have been “othered,” and let their inspirational wisdom challenge, nurture and deepen our spiritual life.
Foundations II can be taken after Foundations I (Foundations in Spirituality) however, Foundations II can also be taken as a stand-alone course.
Explore the activism born of a deep spirituality in Sojourner Truth and the Grimke sisters; the transformative power of service and reflection in Henri Nouwen and Mother Theresa; the joy of reconciliation in Desmond Tutu; and the inspiring humility of Oscar Romero.
The course introduces the practice of reflective journaling and listening as a spiritual friend as integrating practices for living a richer spiritual life. Once a month there is a presentation and some discussion on one of these spiritual leaders’ lives, and once a month there is a group spiritual direction experience where we deeply listen to each other as we reflect on and integrate how that spiritual leader’s life and teaching is interacting with our lives and experiences.
